The IK-1500 Series are pre-engineered, panelized monitoring solutions designed specifically for data center Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs). They integrate multiple Pyxis smart sensors into a single stainless-steel panel to provide continuous, real-time measurement of critical coolant quality parameters required for reliable thermal management of high-density IT loads.

The IK-1500 Series provide continuous, real-time visibility into the critical coolant chemistry parameters that directly impact the reliability, efficiency, and lifespan of data center cooling infrastructure. By simultaneously measuring pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and glycol concentration, the IK-1500 enables operators to detect chemical imbalance, contamination, fouling, or coolant degradation before these conditions escalate into thermal performance loss or equipment damage.

Accurate pH and conductivity measurement ensures corrosion control strategies remain effective and help verify inhibitor health in mixed-metal cooling loops. Turbidity monitoring provides early indication of particulate ingress, corrosion byproducts, or biological growth that can foul cold plates, microchannels, and heat exchangers. Glycol concentration measurement confirms freeze protection, heat transfer efficiency, and correct coolant formulation, which is especially critical for CDU secondary loops serving high-density AI and HPC workloads.

By combining these measurements into a single, panelized monitoring solution, the IK-1500 delivers actionable intelligence rather than isolated data points. Operators gain the ability to trend coolant quality over time, correlate chemistry changes to system events, and integrate alarms directly into CDU controls, BMS, EPMS, or DCIM platforms. The result is improved uptime, reduced unplanned maintenance, longer equipment life, and increased confidence that cooling systems are operating within design limits as IT heat loads continue to rise.

Turn-Key Installation

The IK-1500 combines proven Pyxis inline smart sensors into a factory-assembled panel solution. Each sensor includes an embedded transmitter with 4–20 mA and RS-485 Modbus outputs, allowing direct integration with CDU controls, PLCs, BMS, EPMS, or DCIM platforms. The panelized approach simplifies installation, reduces field wiring, and ensures consistent measurement performance across deployments.
