Application
The Upsite
TM
Temperature Strip is a liquid crystal thermometer with an acrylic self-adhesive backing that quickly and accurately measures
the air-intake temperature of IT equipment. The Upsite Temperature Strip indicates if the air temperature is within acceptable limits
based on standards established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and equipment
manufacturers.

manufacturers.
Instructions for Use
The Upsite Temperature Strip should be used with IT equipment where the potential for hotspots or other heat-related issues exists.
Place the product on a flat surface as close as possible to the equipment air intake, without blocking the air flow into the intake.

The Upsite Temperature Strip can be attached to the front surface of a perforated door on an equipment cabinet. However, in the space
between the cabinet door and equipment air intakes internal air circulations can result in higher IT equipment air-intake temperatures
than those present on the front surface of the cabinet door. Thus, placement of the Upsite Temperature Strip on the outside perforated
door of an equipment rack may result in a lower temperature reading than would be measured at the air intake of the IT equipment.

instructions for measuring the air intake of IT equipment.
