Connecting Optional Environmental Monitoring Probe Equipment
You can purchase optional EMP equipment to monitor temperature and humidity around the ePDU and to
monitor the status of sensors.
You can install an optional EMP now or after completing the ePDU installation and startup. Optional EMP
equipment can be installed without turning off power to the ePDU or the devices connected to it.

IMPORTANT
Follow all installation and operation safety information provided in the manufacturer’s instruction
manual for the EMP equipment.
To install an optional EMP:
1.
Locate the EMP and the Ethernet cable (supplied).
2.
Refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual for instructions to connect the external contact inputs to
the optional EMP for the external contact devices you plan to monitor.

Locate the Ethernet cable dedicated to the EMP. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector on
the EMP, then connect the other end of the cable to the serial connector on the ePDU (see Figure 26).
