AKCP sensorProbe 8-X20 |
 |
|
Many different types of equipment and devices use dry contact outputs to send alarm signals to remote panels, remote monitoring systems, and building management systems. Communicating the status of these dry contact systems is important in a complex Enterprise network, or automation industry to protect the mission critical installations of expensive equipment.
The sensorProbe8-X20 is the next generation dry contact device from AKCP. The SP8-X20 is based on AKCP’s sensorProbe™ technology with an advanced 20 dry contact inputs. It comes in a 1 U rackmount box. The SP8-X20 gives you complete of your enterprise infrastructure security. |

Architecture |
|
| At the core of the AKCP SP8–X20 is the sensorProbe8, which is then married with the 20 dry contact system. This offers support for remote monitoring and management of various external devices. This integrated system enables connection and monitoring of devices like HVAC systems, Security Equipment, UPS, Generators, Industrial Equipment etc. The SP8 embedded web server makes the addition of these devices easy.
The SP8X-20 comes with 8 full autoSense RJ-45 ports for connecting any of our intelligent sensors. An additional 20, 2 wire dry contact ports are provided giving a total of up to 28 dry contact ports. The specially designed 2 wire dry contact ports are easy to use and allow you to make your own dry contact cables quickly and easily.
The SP8X-20 have an extended version of 68 dry contact, sensorProbe8-X60.
The SP8-X 20 is a completely embedded host and comes with a proprietary Linux-like Operating System. It is equipped with a TCP/IP stack, internal web Server, e-mail and Full SNMP functionality. SMS notifications can be sent via a 3rd party email-to-SMS gateway. The SP8-X20 is virtually a ‘plug n play’ device and is extremely easy to use and maintain. The installation process is also simple and one does not need additional power supply or batteries when new optional sensors are added.
The AKCP SP8–X20 works with every intelligent sensor in the AKCP family. You can connect up to 8 of our autoSense sensors in any combination to monitor temperature, humidity, water leakage and airflow including long term graphing, security, detection of AC power line voltage, measurement of Digital Voltmeter, control relays, and many more such uses. The AKCP range of sensors also includes an integrated data collection and graphing package that is especially useful in spotting trends and providing information for analysis.
The new feature in sensorProbe8-X20 is, the integration with a single chip relative humidity and temperature multi sensor module comprising a calibrated digital output. The sensor includes a capacitive polymer sensing element for relative humidity and a bandgap temperature sensor. Both are seamlessly coupled to a 14bit analog to digital converter and a serial interface circuit on the same chip. This results in superior signal quality, a fast response time and insensitivity to external disturbances (EMC). By having both temperature & humidity sensors in a single sensor, the sensorProbe8-X20 can have up to a maximum of 8 temperature & 8 humidity sensors. This extends the capability of the sensorProbe8-X20 to maximum of 16 sensing parameters. |

Installations |
|
| The installation of SP8-X20 is simple and easy, just plug in the device to your network, and assign a IP address. Use the IP address to access the web based interface through your browser. The new improved web interface gives you the freedom to configure the dry contacts and setting the alarms to keep you informed. |

Smart sensors for environmental monitoring 24x7 |
|
The AKCP sensorProbe 8-X20 has 8 ports to which you have every intelligent AKCP sensor port. Monitor non-stop environmental factors such as temperature or humidity in the server room. Protect your servers from water intrusion, fire or unauthorized access. Or you diagnose the failure of your ventilation systems in the server room with the AKCP Airflow sensor. A detailed overview of intelligent sensors can be found here.
The connection of the AKCP sensors to the sensorProbe8-X20 is simple: RJ-45 connector of the AKCP Sensor to join the monitoring sport and it's done! Thanks to the car Sense function, for example, the temperature sensor AKCP immediately detected and the sensorProbe8-X20 starts the safety monitoring of the temperature gradient in the server room. You only have the thresholds / notification values in the easy-to-use Web interface, the sensorProbe8-X20, and decide whether you via email, SMS (via e-mail to SMS Gateway Server or SMS) or through SNMP traps to be notified. You have before unexpected events 24x7x365 injury. The integrated database of sensorProbe8-X20 (SP8-X20) stores all the recent events, including date and time. |

20 additional potential connections / IP-based monitoring Dry Contact |
|
| The sensorProbe8-X20 (SP8-X20) has additional 20 dry contacts for Dry Contact extensive monitoring. At the floating ports in the sensorProbe8-X20 you can, for example, UPS systems, air conditioners, emergency generators, door contacts, pumps etc. connect and monitor 24x7x365. Also may already existing security infrastructures such as glass breakage detectors, vibration detectors, door contacts or opening detectors, provided the devices potential connections, into the non-stop monitoring of the safety sensorProbe8-X20 monitoring appliance integrated. So are your investments in security infrastructure effectively protected. |

Integration of the sensorProbe8-X20 in network monitoring |
|
| The sensorProbe8-X20 (SP8-X20) is compatible with SNMP v1 and SNMP configurable. So you can AKCP sensorProbe8-X20 under NMS solutions such as NAGIOS, HP OpenView, CA Unicenter TNG, IBM Tivoli, WhatsUp Gold implement. Also OpenNMS is supported. The required MIB files and SNMP Utilities are included in the sensorProbe8-X20. Didactum ® is available in the planning and installation of network management systems (NMS) to help. Please see our training Nagios. |
