Details

Due to the highly configurable nature of the AKCP sensorProbeX+, it is not a stock item. Each unit is built on demand for each customer. A product specialist will assist you to build a bespoke solution geared to your exact requirements. Please get in touch for a quote.

The AKCP sensorProbeX+ is the latest generation of sensorProbe device that allows for 1U or 0U mounting in your data center cabinets. With a low profile design it utilises less cabinet space.

The sensorProbeX+ employs a modular design, allowing you to build your unit to suite your own requirements. You only pay for the features you need.

You can count on a wide range of environmental and security monitoring sensors including thermal mapping sensors for identifying cabinet hotspots and RFID swing handle locks to secure your cabinets.

For remote sites an internal GSM cellular data modem can be installed to maintain connectivity and send alerts.

AKCess Pro Server

Take control of the data center power distribution, sensor monitoring, access control and security cameras, all from a central location.

Create custom maps of data rooms. Overlay power outlets, environmental sensor, access points and security cameras.

Deploy a hierarchy of notifications using SMS, email or relay action to trigger corrective action. Monitor cabinet security and record video events of unauthorised cabinet entry attempts and more...

SPX Modules

The MCU module is the core of theSPX+. A mandatory module, it forms the base configuration of every unit. With 4x intelligent sensor ports you can begin to monitor a wide variety of sensors. An ethernet port provides network connectivity and an expansion port gives compatibility to AKCP expansion modules such as the E-Sensor8 and E-Optio16. The MCU is available as a hot-swap module, allowing you, in the event of failure, to easily swap out the module yourself and install a replacement without needing to return the whole unit to us.
sensor4 modules give additional intelligent sensor ports, allowing you to build your SPX+ to your requirements. Connect a wide range of intelligent sensors and smartRack sensors such ans the thermal map sensors and RFID Swing Handle Locks.
Dry contact modules can be added in 10x or 20x blocks. The dry contacts can be specified to be I/O, isolated input only (internal 5V), isolated input only (external 5-20V). Dry contacts can be used to monitor a variety of third party devices and alarm panels.
A 3G GSM cellular data modem module can be added to your SPX+ to give a primary or backup method of communication. Send SMS and email alerts directly from hte device through the cellular network. Ideal for remote site locations and those with unreliable DSL connections.

Customer Questions

What is the difference between the AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe ranges?

In very simple terms, the securityProbe range is more feature rich than the sensorProbe range. The sensorProbe range offers a more honed feature set and lacks some of the more advanced alerting options available on the securityProbe range like SMS text...

What is Akcess Pro Server

Akcess Pro server is a software product developed by AKCP to support their environment monitors. The software enables central data logging and alerting of sensorProbe and securityProbe monitors.

Do the sensorProbe and securityProbe monitors require calibration?

AKCP temperature and humidity sensors have a quite high accuracy and are calibrated by the supplier of the sensor. In general they do not need much calibration. The user could carry out calibration to verify accuracy. If needed you can adjust using the...

Is it possible to extend AKCP sensors?

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...

Is it feasible to route sensor traffic over the network to a single sensorProbe unit so that I can get a view of all the sites status?

No. Only the securityProbe range is able to read information from remote sensorProbes using the Virtual Probe feature. If you wanted to merge information from a number of different sensorProbe units, you would need to either use a 3rd ...

What is the measurement range of the AKCP temperature sensor?

The AKCP Temperature Sensor has a temperature range of -55 to +125°C / -67 to +257°F with an accuracy of ±0.5°C from -10 to +75°C.

What is AKCPro Server?

AKCPro Server is a software application written by AKCP for logging and alerting you to environmental problems in your data center. The software is able to integrate all of the wide range of monitoring tools available from AKCP like inline power measurement...

How do we trigger the A/V alarms based on the alarm condition our system generates?

I assume that you would like to be able to have the siren/strobe light activated by your existing alarm system. If you have a dry contact coming from your alarm system into a port on the sensorProbe, and the siren/strobe from another port on the sensorprobe...

Which environment monitors support a cellular modem?

All of the securityProbe monitors as well as the sensorProbe2+ and sensorProbeX+ can be fitted with an optional built-in cellular modem at order time. A built-in cellular modem cannot be added afterwards. However, the securityProbe monitors do support...

What is encrypted email?

When you send email using regular SMTP servers the email you send is sent plain text over the network. Plain text means that, with proper network sniffiing tools, the email can be read by anybody with access to the network traffic. The internet was ...
