AKCP announces its next generation intelligent, SNMP-based remote dry contact manager, the Sensorprobe 8-X20, which can monitor up to 28 dry contact inputs.
The SP8-X20 comes in a 1U rackmount box with eight full autosense RJ45 ports for connecting any of AKCP's intelligent sensors.
An additional 20 two-wire dry contact ports are provided giving a total of up to 28 dry contact ports.
The specially designed two-wire dry contact ports are easy to use and allow users to make their own dry contact cables quickly and easily.
The SP8-X20 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, SMS and full SNMP functionality.
It also comes with an optional, high-speed, TI DSP and 16-bit A/D converter for the specific requirements of special projects, such as integrating power monitoring.
The SP8-X20 is virtually a plug and 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 optical sensors are added.
"Many different types of equipment 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 Sensorprobe 8-X20 has many advanced features which will fulfill most customers monitoring needs, while still fitting into tight budgets" said Prakash Marar, AKCP's marketing director.
