Suggested Threshold Ranges for Server Room Monitoring
When using the Blake Temperature and Humidity Monitor for server room monitoring, it is important to configure alert thresholds that balance equipment safety with operational flexibility. Based on industry standards (ASHRAE) and common practices, we recommend two sets of ranges:
Stricter Range (Recommended by ASHRAE and Industry Experts)
-
Temperature: 18°C to 27°C
-
Relative Humidity (RH): 40% to 60%
Benefits:
-
Maintains consistent cooling efficiency
-
Minimizes the risk of electrostatic discharge
-
Prevents condensation inside equipment
This range is recommended if maintaining optimal equipment lifespan and reliability is your top priority.
Lenient Range (Commonly Accepted in Practice)
-
Temperature: 15°C to 32°C
-
Relative Humidity (RH): 20% to 80%
Benefits:
-
Provides more flexibility in day-to-day operations
-
Reduces chances of frequent false alarms
-
Easier to maintain across diverse environments
However, operating continuously near the extremes of this range may increase the risk of premature equipment wear or failure.
