The Disconnect Monitor can detect and report the distance of a terminal device from the switch connected, even if the device is switched off. The theft of a terminal device switched off overnight can therefore be reliably ascertained and an alarm immediately triggered. This happens as a result of cyclic impedance measurement of the connection, which allows continuous monitoring.
Conventional switches can only detect that a terminal device is connected from the link status. Once the terminal device is switched off, removal of the device cannot be ascertained.
The Disconnect Monitor is available for all MICROSENS switches of the current device generation 6. Alarm messages can be configured as SNMP traps or Syslog and are forwarded via a suitable external service, such as SMS or e-mail. The industry versions of the switches also have an integrated switching contact through which external signalling is possible without any special effort or expense, for example using a warning lamp or siren.
