Temperature Sensor APC Wireless NetBotz Temperature Only

The APC Wireless NetBotz Temperature Only sensor (NBWS100T) is a compact, freestanding indoor wireless sensor for monitoring ambient temperature in data centers, network closets and other IT environments. It is compatible with current and legacy NetBotz appliances (200, 400, 500 and 700 series) and connects to a NetBotz appliance via the required NetBotz Wireless Coordinator and Router. The sensor measures temperatures between 15 °C and 50 °C and complies with RoHS and NBWS100T standards.

Advantages

The sensor supports wireless deployment and can be one of up to 47 sensors connected to a single NetBotz appliance, allowing distributed monitoring without additional cabling. Its small footprint (38 mm x 38 mm x 19 mm) enables placement in tight spaces. A 3 ft USB extension cable is included to improve signal placement and broadcast strength. Compatibility with multiple NetBotz generations ensures interoperability in mixed hardware environments.

Suitable for

• Data center temperature monitoring
• Distributed network closets and racks
• Server rooms and IT equipment enclosures
• Locations where wireless temperature sensors reduce cabling

How to use

Place the sensor in the target area ensuring it remains within the specified indoor temperature range. Install and configure the NetBotz Wireless Coordinator and Router on the target NetBotz appliance according to the appliance documentation, then pair the NBWS100T with the appliance. Use the included USB extension cable as needed to position the sensor or improve wireless signal reception. Monitor temperature readings and alerts through the NetBotz appliance interface.

Recommendations

Install the sensor away from direct airflow of HVAC vents or heat-producing equipment for representative ambient readings. Keep the device indoors and within the specified operating range. When deploying multiple sensors, verify wireless signal strength and adjust placement or use the extension cable to optimize connectivity.
