AKCP sensorProbe2+ LCD

In today’s digitalized world, stability, transparency, and quick responsiveness play a crucial role in IT and production operations. Even the smallest changes in environmental parameters can lead to significant infrastructure disruptions. With the AKCP sensorProbe2+ LCD, also known as AKCP SP2+ LCD, companies have access to a monitoring system that combines the latest network technologies with a unique direct display via an integrated LCD screen.

This monitoring device not only enables classic monitoring of temperature, humidity, and other critical values but also displays the information directly on the integrated screen. As a result, administrators and technicians can view essential data on-site without relying on external devices or web access. This approach increases efficiency and makes the SP2+ LCD a special solution in the field of server room and data center monitoring.

The sensorProbe2+ LCD offers a scalable platform with up to four intelligent RJ-45 AutoSense sensor ports. Using specific sensor combinations, up to 9 sensors per port can be connected, resulting in a maximum capacity of up to 400 sensors. Virtual sensors can also be integrated, allowing even complex infrastructures to be mapped seamlessly.

For IT managers, facility managers, and industrial plant operators, the SP2+ LCD provides numerous advantages: in addition to simple PoE installation, it offers full support for SNMP monitoring (v1/v2/v3), Modbus integration for industrial applications, and versatile IoT monitoring functions such as MQTT, IPv6, and VPN. The AKCP sensorProbe2+ LCD thereby bridges the gap between classic infrastructure monitoring and modern cloud-based IoT approaches.

Technical Strength Meets LCD Comfort

Inside the AKCP SP2+ LCD operates modern processor hardware that ensures fast processing and display of sensor data. Critical parameters such as temperature, humidity, or smoke detection can be read directly on the LCD display. This allows personnel on-site to check values immediately without relying on network access.

The display not only shows measurement data but also provides information about power supply, network status, and overall operational states. This direct feedback reduces potential errors, improves day-to-day transparency, and significantly enhances responsiveness in case of malfunctions.

Sensor Integration with AutoSense

The sensorProbe2+ LCD is equipped with four RJ-45 sensor ports featuring AKCP AutoSense technology. When a new sensor is connected, the system automatically detects and configures it. This eliminates the need for complex installation procedures.

In addition to classic sensors for temperature and humidity measurement, smoke detectors, water leak sensors, airflow sensors, and current monitoring sensors can also be integrated. This enables the SP2+ LCD to adapt flexibly to any infrastructure and scale with the operator’s requirements. Thanks to its scalability, application scenarios range from small IT departments to large-scale data centers.

PoE Monitoring for Easy Installation

One of the practical features of the AKCP sensorProbe2+ LCD is its native support for PoE monitoring. Data and power are transmitted via a single cable, which offers enormous advantages, particularly in densely packed racks or installations outside core infrastructure areas.

In addition to PoE power supply, the monitoring hardware can be secured with redundant power supplies. This ensures continuous operation even in environments with a higher risk of failure. Especially in critical infrastructures, redundant solutions are now a necessity.

Protocols and Network Capability

Thanks to various open standards, the SP2+ LCD integrates seamlessly into existing IT environments. In addition to classic SNMP monitoring, the system supports HTTPS connections, encrypted emails, and, if required, VPN tunnels. For industrial applications, Modbus integration is crucial, as it connects the device seamlessly to SCADA systems and building management technology.

With IoT monitoring features such as MQTT/MQTTS, IPv6 support, and edge-capable functions, the AKCP sensorProbe2+ LCD is aimed at forward-thinking companies that want to network their infrastructure intelligently. This makes it suitable for both traditional corporate networks and modern cloud architectures.

Alarm Management and Automation

Flexible alarm and escalation management is essential for companies. With the sensorProbe2+ LCD, administrators can define exactly when an alarm should be triggered due to measurement deviations and how it should be handled.

Available options include acoustic signals on the device, notifications via encrypted emails, SNMP traps, or direct activation of external systems. For example, the SP2+ LCD can trigger air conditioning units or activate emergency ventilation in case of overheating. The system thus becomes not only a passive monitoring instrument but an active component of a safety architecture.

Virtual Sensors & Rack Monitoring

The integration of virtual sensors is another system advantage. External measurements from UPS systems, switches, routers, or air conditioning units can be incorporated. Up to 80 virtual sensors are available in the system, opening numerous options for comprehensive infrastructure monitoring.

Another key feature is extensive rack monitoring. Sensor values can be pinpointed within the server rack. Uneven temperature distributions or cooling system malfunctions become immediately visible, enabling administrators to optimize energy management and cooling configurations effectively.
