The APC NetBotz Rack Sensor Pod 150 (type ACCS, manufacturer number NBPD0150) is an expansion module for environmental monitoring systems, designed to connect to existing NetBotz appliances to extend their monitoring capacity. It serves as a sensor holder with six connection channels, enabling integration of environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, or smoke detectors. Compatibility includes various NetBotz appliances, including the NetBotz Room Monitor 200 (NBRK0200), Rack Monitor 450 (NBRK0450), Room Monitor 455 (NBWL0455, NBWL0456), and Rack Monitor 550 (NBRK0550). The device is not compatible with the NetBotz Room Monitor 355. Sensors may be from APC or third-party manufacturers, with the total number of pods and sensors varying depending on the connected appliance.

Applications
This module is used in data centres, server rooms, or other technical rooms where continuous monitoring of environmental conditions is required. It enables expansion of monitoring areas without installing additional main units. Installation is tool-free using integrated pins or in a rack, with the mounting instructions included in the delivery scope. The maximum range between the sensor pod and the appliance is 1000 metres, allowing flexible placement.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The NetBotz 150 features six universal sensor connections suitable for various sensor types. Communication between the pod and the appliance is via APC’s proprietary NetBotz A-Link technology, ensuring stable communication. Device dimensions are 337 x 43 x 43 mm, and weight is 610 g.

Technology Explained Simply
PoE technology (Power over Ethernet) enables power supply via the existing network cable, eliminating the need for additional power lines. The A-Link connection is a special proprietary interface from APC, designed to ensure secure and reliable communication between devices. The maximum operating range of 1000 metres allows flexible placement of the sensor pod in the room, independent of the appliance’s location. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 45 °C, and storage temperature from -15 to 65 °C.

Compatibility and Accessories
The module is compatible with the current generation of NetBotz appliances, including models 250A, 750, 755, as well as 455, 450, and 570. Connection is via the A-Link interface. As an accessory, a 12-V-DC power supply is available if PoE connection is not available.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is tool-free using integrated pins or in a rack. The mounting instructions are included in the delivery scope and describe the steps for securing and connecting to the appliance. Sensor connection points are located on the front of the device, while the rear is used for connecting to the appliance via the A-Link interface.

Operational Advantages
Expanding monitoring capacity without additional main units reduces installation costs and simplifies network structure. The PoE connection minimizes the need for additional power supply cables. The maximum range of 1000 metres enables flexible placement, and compatibility with various appliances increases flexibility during system expansion.
