Overview
The Subfloor EZ Node is a wireless sensor that measures subfloor temperature and pressure differences
between the data center room and its subfloor cavities. The Subfloor EZ Node contains:



A high-pressure (positive) barb and a high-pressure air hose fitted with a diffuser, which is
placed in the subfloor.
Two low-pressure (negative) barbs connected to each other by a U-turn (a short hose bent in a
“U” shape), which allows the node to sense low pressure internal to the unit. If necessary, you
can remove the U-turn and attach a hose to the center barb to sense low pressure away from
the node.
A thermistor connected to the node via a harness. This allows the node to sense temperature
away from the node.
Once installed and operational, the node transmits temperature and air pressure data to the Web
Console. Combined with data collected from other Subfloor EZ Nodes located throughout the data
center, operators use this information to adjust fan speeds and relocate perforated tiles to increase
CRAC/CRAH efficiency.
About this Installation Guide
This document provides guidelines and instructions for installing SynapSense® Subfloor EZ Nodes to
designated service companies or the customer. The intended audience for this document consists of
customers or partners of SynapSense Corporation, SynapSense installers, and SynapSense installation

Return Material Authorization
SynapSense products carry a one year warranty from date of purchase and have a low failure rate and
most customer inquiries result in a solution without returning the product. It is important to
SynapSense to provide a high quality product; therefore, all failures are taken seriously and we ask
that all damaged or non-functional products be returned for root cause analysis.
When it is necessary to return a damaged or defective product, a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
is required. Returns are only accepted with an accompanying RMA number issued by SynapSense
Technical Support.
