OPENGEAR EMD5782 | EMD5000 Vibration Sensor, 3ft Cable, Dry Contact

Q: What does the Opengear EMD5782 vibration sensor detect?
A: The EMD5782 detects physical vibration events at the installation site using a dry-contact mechanism. When vibration is detected, it triggers alerts and automated response sequences through the connected Opengear console server.

Q: Which Opengear devices is the EMD5782 compatible with?
A: The EMD5782 connects to the Opengear EMD5000 Environmental Monitor Device, which in turn integrates with Opengear ACM, CM, and IM series console servers. It is not designed for use as a standalone device.

Q: How far can the EMD5000 be placed from the console server?
A: The EMD5000 Environmental Monitor Device can be located up to 10 metres (33 feet) from the console server, giving you flexibility to position the vibration sensor close to the equipment being monitored.

Q: What alert types are supported when vibration is detected?
A: When a vibration event triggers a threshold breach, the system can send alerts via email, SMS, and SNMP traps. It also supports automated response sequences, including graceful shutdown of affected equipment via Network UPS Tools.

Q: Can I monitor the vibration sensor status remotely?
A: Yes. Sensor status, history, and time-stamped logs are accessible remotely via a standard web browser through the Opengear console server's web-based UI. Local and remote audit logging are both supported.
