HW-group Perseus Monitoring 150

The HW-group Perseus Monitoring 150 is a comprehensive monitoring solution tailored for data centers, telecom, and industrial sites. With high sensor capacity and advanced networking features, it is optimized for 19" rack installations, monitoring up to 100 sensors and 1000 variables simultaneously for precise and scalable environmental and process monitoring.

Equipped with 8 RJ11 ports for 1-Wire UNI sensors, an RS-485 Modbus/RTU port, 16 digital inputs, and 4 digital outputs, the Perseus 150 enables a wide range of monitoring tasks. From temperature, humidity, voltage, and current to door contacts and smoke detectors, all values are captured and documented in real time for individual racks or entire facilities.

Technical Highlights

• 19" 1U format – designed for professional rack environments
• Up to 100 sensors and 1000 monitored variables
• 8 × RJ11 ports for temperature, humidity, voltage, and current
• 16 digital inputs (DI) and 4 digital outputs (DO) for relays
• RS-485 Modbus/RTU support for industrial integrations
• Lua scripting, schedules, and virtual sensors for automation
• Datalogger for 250,000 values, exportable via HWg-PDMS/Excel
• Alarms via email, SNMP traps, SMS/voice (via gateway), and SensDesk Push

• Flexible power: 9–30 V DC, -48 V DC, or PoE

Monitoring & Automation

With Lua scripting, schedules, and virtual sensors, the Perseus 150 enables complex workflows and automated responses. Its relay outputs allow for direct control of external devices such as HVAC, access systems, or security circuits, supporting proactive infrastructure management.

IoT & SCADA Integration

Supporting SNMP v3, Modbus/TCP, MQTT, and XML protocols, the device integrates into SCADA systems, management software, and IoT platforms. The Meters API consolidates data from LAN devices such as STE2 R2 units or UPS for centralized evaluation, positioning the Perseus 150 as the hub of Industry 4.0 and smart monitoring projects.

Data Logging & Reporting

Its internal datalogger supports long-term storage of up to 250,000 values. HWg-PDMS enables compliance reporting, Excel analysis, and data visualization. Cloud integration with SensDesk delivers central access, PDF reporting, and user management for enterprise deployment.

Alarm Management

Immediate notifications are sent upon threshold breaches via email, SNMP, SMS, voice (gateway), or SensDesk Push. Escalation plans and reminders ensure compliance and critical event visibility.

Typical Applications

• Data centers – rack/room monitoring of climate and energy
• Telecom – power, environment, and access control
• Industrial sites – energy, voltage, and machine parameter tracking
• Pharma/Food – HACCP-compliant monitoring of storage areas
• Smart buildings – integration into facility automation

Mobile Monitoring

With the HWg Monitor mobile app (iOS/Android), admins access live data anywhere. Critical values are visible directly on smartphone widgets for maximum responsiveness.

Variants

• Perseus Monitoring 150: Base model for flexible deployments
• Perseus Monitoring 150 TSet: Set with PSU and IP67 temperature sensor
• Perseus Monitoring 150 Rack TSet: Rack package with PSU, sensor, and door contact

Conclusion

The HW-group Perseus Monitoring 150 is a high-capacity and scalable monitoring system for enterprise environments. Combining wide sensor support, advanced logging, secure communications, and 19" rack design, it is the future-proof choice for data centers, telecom, industry, and building automation.
