Monitor Refrigeration Conditions From a Web Portal

Temperature-sensitive inventory can be compromised by more than a complete power outage. Equipment failure, temperature drift, an open door, or an environmental problem may also place stored products at risk.

The POAS-E provides greater visibility into these conditions by combining built-in power-failure monitoring with support for multiple external sensors and online data logging.

Through the web-based monitoring portal, authorized personnel can:

• View current monitored conditions
• Review historical sensor readings
• Update notification contacts
• Adjust alarm thresholds
• Acknowledge active alarms
• Monitor multiple pieces of equipment
• Manage an unlimited number of alert recipients

POAS-E Notification Options

Complimentary email alerts are included with the POAS-E and can be sent to an unlimited number of designated contacts.

Facilities that require additional notification methods can add a subscription for text-message and automated telephone-call alerts. Multiple notification channels can help facilities reach personnel according to their staffing structure and emergency response procedures.

Alarms can be acknowledged locally at the monitoring device or remotely through the web portal.

Refrigerator and Freezer Temperature Monitoring

Optional temperature sensors can be connected to monitor conditions inside refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, and other temperature-controlled environments.

Users can establish acceptable high and low temperature limits. When a monitored temperature rises above or falls below the programmed range, the POAS-E initiates an alert using the configured notification methods.

Depending on the probe selected, the system can support applications ranging from standard pharmaceutical refrigerators to ultra-low-temperature freezers.

Recorded sensor readings are stored through the online platform, giving authorized users access to historical information that may support internal reviews, incident investigations, and temperature-management procedures.

Monitor Multiple Conditions From One System

The POAS-E supports up to 10 additional sensors, allowing a facility to monitor several pieces of equipment or different environmental conditions through one monitoring device.

Depending on the accessories selected, the system may be configured to monitor:

• Medical refrigerator temperature
• Laboratory freezer temperature
• Ultra-low freezer conditions
• Ambient room temperature
• Humidity
• Water leaks
• Equipment alarm contacts
• Other compatible environmental conditions

This flexibility makes the POAS-E suitable for facilities that require more than a single power-outage notification.

How the POAS-E Works

1. Connect The POAS-E communicates through the facility’s existing Ethernet network.
2. Configure Authorized users establish web-portal access, enter notification contacts, and configure the required alarm thresholds.
3. Monitor The system continuously supervises utility power and all connected sensors.
4. 4. Detect When a monitored condition moves outside its programmed limits, the POAS-E identifies the alarm condition.
5. Notify Complimentary email alerts are sent to the designated contacts. Subscription plans can add text-message and automated telephone-call notifications.
6. Review Authorized personnel can access the web portal to assess current conditions, acknowledge the alarm, and review historical sensor data.

Pair Monitoring With Emergency Battery Power

A battery backup system and the POAS-E perform different but complementary functions.

During an outage, the battery backup supplies temporary emergency power to help keep the connected refrigerator or freezer operating. The POAS-E alerts designated personnel that utility power has failed and monitors conditions that may change during the event.

Used together, these systems provide emergency power, remote notification, and greater visibility into the condition of protected refrigeration equipment.

Add Online Visibility to Your Refrigeration Protection Plan

The appropriate configuration depends on the number of refrigerators, freezers, sensors, locations, and alert recipients the organization needs to manage.
