AKCP Security Sensor Magnetic Contact

Security risks such as unauthorized access or tampering are critical for data centers, server rooms, production facilities, and warehouses alike. The AKCP Security Sensor Magnetic Contact is a robust solution for reliably monitoring doors, windows, and server cabinets and immediately triggering an alarm when irregularities are detected.

Function

The magnetic contact operates on a simple but highly effective principle: when the distance between the magnet and the sensor unit changes (e.g., door or window opens), the sensor immediately detects this condition and reports the event to the AKCP monitoring system. Multiple readings per second ensure instant detection and therefore maximum security.

Product Variants

The AKCP Security Sensor series includes several models for different environments:

• SS15 Standard: robust sensor with 4.5 m cable, suitable for standard applications
• SS15-R Recessed: flush-mount version for discreet door installation
• SS15-C Compact: extra-small model for unobtrusive installation
• SS15-A Aluminum: high-durability aluminum housing for industrial use

Integration into AKCP Systems

The magnetic contact connects via RJ45 with Cat5e/6 cables directly to a free port on a sensorProbe or securityProbe system. Key features:

• AutoSense: automatic detection and configuration
• Cable length: up to 305 m possible
• Serial connection: multiple contacts can be connected in series (one alarm, not individually differentiated)
• Mounting options: door, window, server cabinet

Alarming and Notifications

When a contact is triggered, the system immediately notifies responsible personnel via:

• Email alert
• SMS or MMS (with GSM/4G module)
• SNMP traps to NMS systems such as Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, OpenNMS, WhatsUp Gold
• Connection to sirens and strobe lights for on-site alerts

Key Advantages

• Rapid response with multiple measurements per second
• Flexibility with four model variants (Standard, Recessed, Compact, Aluminum)
• Cascadable for multiple doors/windows
• Rugged design suitable for industrial environments
• Plug-and-play via AutoSense and RJ45 connection
• Seamless SNMP integration for network management systems
• Support for time-based alarm filters (e.g., active only at night)
• Works with additional sensors and system components (e.g., sirens, relays)
• Low power consumption powered directly by the base system
• Long lifespan – designed for 24/7 operation

Application Fields

• Data centers: server rack and access monitoring
• Server rooms: critical infrastructure protection
• Industrial facilities: prevention of unauthorized access
• Warehouses & logistics: inventory protection
• Security zones: building access control
• Telecommunications: node site security

Interactive Security and Automation Concepts

In combination with other AKCP sensors (e.g., smoke, motion, vibration), comprehensive security solutions can be configured. Examples:

• Door open + motion = alarm with camera recording
• Door open + smoke = alarm + automatic cooling shutdown
• Door open outside business hours = siren + strobe light + notification

Technical Specifications

• Contact type: magnetic contact switch principle (open/closed)
• Standard cable length: 4.5 m, extendable up to 305 m
• Measurement rate: multiple queries per second
• Connection: RJ45 (UTP Cat5/6)
• Dimensions & variants: depending on model, from compact to rugged
• Integration: sensorProbe, securityProbe

The AKCP Security Sensor Magnetic Contact is an essential security component for IT and industrial environments. With its robust design, easy integration, and versatile models, it provides a flexible solution for reliably securing doors, windows, and server cabinets.

Its SNMP integration, instant alarm management, and compatibility with other AKCP sensors make it the ideal choice for infrastructure operators seeking dependable access monitoring.
