Product page: https://vutlan.com/corporate-monitoring-units/154-vt960i-corporate-monitoring-unit.html
Function and purpose
The unit is used for environmental monitoring (e.g. temperature, humidity, voltage, leakage, smoke, airflow). It is also used as an I/O controller (e.g. door control, fans, generator, control panels, UPS, circuit breakers, and alarms). Can use up to 1000 different elements - notifications, triggers, timers, logic schemes, sensors, dry contacts. Has a built-in Web interface with virtual sensors, logic schemes, different types of notifications, and control panels. Has a slot for an LTE modem. Has the possibility to install an internal 2.5-inch HDD inside the case. This is the fastest and most powerful Vutlan monitoring unit.
Two order options:
VT960i has only an x1 power inlet.
VT960ii has x2 power inlets, providing a redundant power supply for A&B power distribution.
