LIEBERT® RDU-S™ RACK MANAGEMENT DEVICE
Product Specification
Description
The Liebert RDU-S is a compact rack processing unit designed to monitor the environment in electronic
equipment racks and rooms through various types of sensors and cameras. The unit can accommodate
multiple sensors, such as temperature, humidity, water, smoke, motion and door sensors. It can also be used
for remote notification such as activating a beacon light to report problems.
The compact design makes it suitable for installation in a rack, where it takes up little space, or it may be
mounted on a wall for access without opening the equipment rack.

of an RJ45
cable to a
Liebert SN
port
The two ports labeled with a Liebert SN icon , shown at right, are designed
for use with Liebert SN sensors. Each sensor is shipped with a cable to
connect to one of the Liebert SN ports on the Liebert RDU-S. You may use
this cable or another standard straight-through cable.
Connect
other end
to sensor
Liebert SN sensors may be connected in a string up to 65.6 ft. (20m) in length.
Each Liebert RDU-S unit can support a maximum of 10 temperature probes,
10 humidity probes, 9 dry contacts and 6 door switches.
Web Interface
A Web interface allows users to browse and view areas monitored by connected sensors, as well as configure
the unit.
