Detailed Question:
I'm interesting in the AKCP Digital Voltmeter to provide 12V battery voltage information via SNMP to a central SNMP monitoring system. Can the digital volt meter act as a stand alone network device with it's own IP address so we can probe the voltage status periodically or do I need additional equipment? I'm looking to minimise the amount of equipment at each battery location due to cost and complexity.
The digital voltmeter does not have its own IP address and therefore requires at least the AKCP sensorProbe2 to power it. The sensorProbe2 can then be polled using SNMP to get the data required or alerts can be set up directly with the sensorProbe2 and data can be accessed via the sensorProbe web browser. It may also help to know that sensors such as the digital voltmeter can be extended via your CAT5 cabling infrastructure up to 300m.
