AKCP AC Voltage Sensor

Continuous monitoring of power supply is vital to ensure the availability of data centers, server rooms, industrial systems, and medical facilities. The AKCP AC Voltage Sensor provides a reliable way to monitor the presence of AC voltage within a 50–250 V AC range in real time.

Integrated into AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe devices, it adds TCP/IP‑based power monitoring capabilities to any infrastructure, offering extensive alerting and network integration options.

Operation and Measurement Technology

The sensor continuously checks for the presence of AC voltage and immediately reports any power loss. Measurements are taken several times per second to guarantee rapid response times. A built‑in LED status indicator provides visual on‑site feedback, and live readings are available through the AKCP controller’s web interface.

Technical Specifications

• Measurement range: 50 – 250 V AC
• Voltage type: alternating current (AC mains)
• Interface: RJ‑45 network interface
• Cable length: up to 300 m via CAT5e/6
• AutoSense: automatic detection by sensorProbe/securityProbe devices
• Alarm options: email, SMS, SNMP traps
• Local status indicator: LED display
• Form factor: plug‑in AC outlet sensor
• Power supply: directly from base unit; no external adapter required
• Operating range: ‑35 °C to +80 °C

Simple Installation

The AKCP AC Voltage Sensor is designed for quick and hassle‑free setup. It simply plugs into an outlet and connects to the monitoring base unit via an RJ‑45 network cable. Using AutoSense detection, the AKCP system automatically identifies and configures the sensor within the web interface—no electrical re‑wiring required.

Alerting and Monitoring

In the event of a power outage, the sensor generates immediate alerts and notifies administrators in real time through:

• Email notification
• SMS or MMS (via optional GSM/LTE module)
• SNMP traps to network management systems
• Optional relay actions (e.g., activating backup power systems)

Full SNMP support allows integration with monitoring software such as Nagios, HP OpenView, OpenNMS, IBM Tivoli, and WhatsUp Gold. Each sensor has a unique SNMP OID for easy network identification.

Special Features
