AKCP SPX16 sensorProbeX+ Environment Monitors with 16 Sensor Ports

The sensorProbeX+ SPX16 is 1U high, high-speed, accurate and rugged, SNMP enabled environmental monitoring device with 16 auto-sensing intelligent sensor ports, a proprietary Linux like OS which includes TCP/IP stack, a built-in webserver and full email and SNMP functionality.

sensorProbeX+ SPX16 can record all events in its database with a timestamp of when the sensor alarm was raised and the action that took place. Multiple sensorProbeX+ SPX devices can be daisy-chained together and connect to a wide range of AKCP environmental sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, water leakage, airflow, security, and control relays.

AKCPro Server Software, Alert Email and SMS Text Notifications

The SPX16 can be remotely monitored and controlled using AKCPro Server software (Cloud or on-site) and is ideal for a single server cabinet or multiple racks within a server room or data centre. Email alerts can be setup for distribution when monitored levels go outside threshold levels. For SMS text messages we recomemnd using an email-to-sms service or an external modem (connected to a sensor port).

sensorProbeX+ SPX16 Standard Kits and Congifuration

The sensorProbe+ SPX16 is an AC powered environment monitoring device. The unit has 16 sensor ports and 5 Virtual Sensors (additional packs available).

The TSET includes a temperature sensor cable (1.5m) and the THSET a temperature & humidity sensor cable (4.5m).

Expansion (EXP)

The EXP port can be use do extend the distance (daisy-chain) between multiple SPX+ devices up to 300m.

Basic Expansion Bus

The Basic Expansion Bus (BEB) can be used for short-distance expansion within a server cabinet. The expansion units can be daisy-chained up to 20m for the total chain. The BEB facility can be used as a cost effective way to expand system coverage.

• 4 BEB: maximum total cable length 10m
• 3 BEB: maximum total cable length 18m (3×6m)
• 2 BEB: maximum total length 20m(2×10m)
• 2 BEB: maximum total length 20m (1×20m)

The AKCPro Software can be used to monitor sensorProbeX+ units remotely on a local IP network or via the ACKPro Cloud service.
