AKCP K-Type Thermocouple Adaptor

The AKCP Thermocouple adaptor is specially designed for connecting any K-type thermocouple sensor to the securityProbe or securityProbe 5E base units.
When a K-type thermocouple sensor is plugged into the adapter and the RJ-45 LAN cable is connected to the Intelligent Sensor port on either the base unit or the E-sensor8 expansion module, the base unit will auto detect the sensor. A built-in graph option is included on all securityProbes for graphing temperature variations over a period of time.

Ask a Question
AKCP sensors all use RJ45 connectors and can be extended using standard CAT5 cable and one or more inline couplers up to a maximum distance of 100m.
Historically, AKCP did recommend extending their sensors using your structured cabling systems. AKCP have more recently stopped recommending the use of structured cabling systems as structured cabling systems become more intelligent they begin to interfere with the sensor signal making the sensor reading unreliable at best.
