AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60 – Comprehensive monitoring with 60 dry contactsts
AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60
The AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60 is the most powerful model in the SecurityProbe series. With its additional 60 dry contact inputs, it offers extensive capabilities for centrally integrating intelligent sensors alongside numerous external systems. This makes the X60 an all-in-one platform for server room monitoring, data center supervision, industrial facility monitoring, and facility management applications.
The combination of comprehensive environmental monitoring, physical security, advanced alarm management, and data visualization makes this system a cornerstone of modern IT strategies. With support for up to 500 sensors and 60 dry contacts, it is ideally suited for large and demanding installations where maximum operational security is required.
Like all SecurityProbe family devices, the X60 is built on a stable Linux operating system with an i.MX25 processor, 128 MB NAND Flash, and 128 MB SDRAM. With low power consumption of approximately 6.15 watts and an MTBF of 400,000 hours, the platform is highly efficient and reliable.
Thanks to its 2U rack format (18 × 5 × 3.45 inches, weight 3.1 kg) and included mounting brackets, the X60 integrates seamlessly into 19-inch racks. Industrial variants are optionally available that operate reliably even at temperatures as low as -35 °C.
Sensor Integration and Flexibility
The securityProbe5ES-X60 supports up to 8 native RJ-45 sensor ports with AutoSense technology. Additional sensors can be connected via modules such as E-Sensor8 or E-Opto16, enabling support for up to 500 total sensors. Plug-and-play recognition ensures quick integration with minimal error potential.
Supported sensors include:
- Temperature sensors and thermocouples for extreme ranges
- Digital humidity sensors
- Airflow sensors for data centers
- Smoke and fire detectors
- Water and leak detectors with localization function
- AC/DC current sensors for energy monitoring
- Security sensors (PIR, glass-break, door contacts, vibration)
- Tank level sensors for diesel, gasoline, or chemicals
60 Dry Contacts for Maximum Integration
The X60's 60 dry contact inputs enable connection of external devices and systems, including:
- Fire protection systems and smoke detectors
- HVAC equipment and ventilation systems
- UPS and power supply units
- Door detectors, alarm buttons, or access readers
- Industrial relay circuits
Each input is flexibly configurable and supports both standard mode (up to 5V DC) and opto-isolated mode (up to 40V DC). This enables safe monitoring of even industrial high-load applications.
Network and Protocol Support
The securityProbe5ES-X60 is fully TCP/IP capable and integrates via Ethernet into any corporate network. Supported protocols include:
- SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 (encrypted)
- HTTPS (SSL) web access
- PHP, Perl, Bash, Telnet for scripting and automation
- Modbus TCP/IP, RTU, Master/Slave
- Email, FTP, Syslog
As a Modbus-to-SNMP gateway, the X60 also serves as an interface between industrial SCADA systems and IT networks.
Alarm Management and False Alarm Filtering
The X60 offers a versatile notification system including email, SMS, MMS, fax, telephone calls, or SNMP traps. Escalation plans ensure all alarms are reliably forwarded, including acknowledgment options for voice alerts.
Thanks to intelligent false alarm filtering, administrators can limit notifications by time or assign them to specific conditions. This prevents unnecessary alerts and ensures only relevant events are reported.
Data Logging and Visualization
Using the integrated RRDTool, the X60 creates detailed long-term graphs of sensor data. Displays can be hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. Data can be stored locally or exported to external tools such as MRTG or Cacti.
Audio Integration
The securityProbe5ES-X60 features audio input and output ports as well as an internal microphone and speaker. This allows administrators to integrate acoustic monitoring or deliver voice announcements.
