Eaton Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) Gen 2 for Temperature and Humidity Conditions

The Eaton EMPDT1H1C2 is an environmental monitoring probe built for IT racks that need precise oversight of temperature and humidity. It combines one temperature sensor, one humidity sensor, and two dry-contact inputs in a small housing that fits easily alongside servers, switches, and power distribution units. When connected to Eaton power management software, a standard web browser, or any SNMP-capable platform, the probe delivers continuous data that helps prevent hot spots, moisture buildup, and unplanned downtime.

Technicians walking the aisle can glance at the translucent case and immediately know the current status thanks to an internal LED. From the office or a remote location, the same staff can set thresholds, receive email alerts, and pull historical reports to fine-tune cooling strategies or validate service-level agreements.

The probe also grows with evolving security needs. Up to six external sensors—such as smoke detectors or door contacts—can be added, turning a single network port into a broader environmental and safety dashboard. This makes the EMPDT1H1C2 a practical choice for data centers, edge cabinets, or any space where equipment health directly affects business operations.

Installation takes only minutes. Built-in magnets secure the probe to a metal rack rail, cable ties wrap it to perforated doors, and keyhole slots let you screw it to a wall or cabinet frame. Once mounted, the device starts reporting immediately, backed by a two-year limited warranty that keeps maintenance planning straightforward.
