Didactum Relay Contact Sensor

The Didactum Relay Contact Sensor is a versatile control and automation module designed for server room monitoring, access control, and critical infrastructure management. With a switching capacity of up to 5A, it enables the control of a wide range of devices such as magnetic and bolt locks, electromagnets, ventilation systems, heating, cooling units, lighting equipment, and signaling devices such as sirens and strobe lights.

Server Room Monitoring & Data Center Security

In sensitive IT environments, the relay contact plays a key role by automatically controlling devices based on sensor values or predefined logic rules. Examples include:

• Temperature monitoring: air conditioning units or fans switch on when thresholds are exceeded
• Smoke detection: activation of emergency lighting, alarms, or access controls
• Access control: enabling magnetic and bolt locks for authorized server room entry
• Alarm systems: triggering sirens or strobe lights in case of emergencies

Integration & Compatibility

• Connection to 12V relay outputs of all Didactum monitoring systems
• Compatible with devices requiring potential-free contacts (NO/NC)
• Web interface: configuration of logic schemes, alarm rules, and switching conditions
• SNMP, e-mail, SMS: full support for alerting and network integration
• Compact design: ideal for use in control cabinets or direct device integration

Use in Building Technology & Industry

The Didactum Relay Contact Sensor is not only suitable for data centers but is also widely used in building technology and industrial environments:

• HVAC systems: control of heating, cooling, or ventilation systems
• Lighting control: time-based or sensor-triggered switching of lighting systems
• Industrial automation: switching of machines, conveyor belts, or processes
• Remote monitoring: centralized integration via SNMP in infrastructure management

Typical Applications

• Server room access control: secure control of magnetic and bolt locks
• Server room alarms: activation of sirens, strobe lights & emergency lighting
• Data center monitoring: automatic climate control during temperature fluctuations
• Building management: integration with lighting, ventilation, and energy systems
• Industrial automation: reliable switching logic for machine processes
