AKCP securityProbe5ES-X20 – Powerful IT monitoring with 20 dry contacts
AKCP securityProbe5ES-X20
The AKCP securityProbe5ES-X20 is a versatile modular monitoring platform designed for server room monitoring, data center supervision, and critical industrial applications. Featuring eight RJ45 smart sensor ports and 20 configurable dry contact inputs, the X20 version delivers outstanding flexibility by integrating IT infrastructure monitoring with external building and security systems.
Advanced Monitoring Functions
The X20 provides reliable monitoring of all essential parameters in critical IT environments, including:
- Temperature & humidity for precise climate control
- Airflow sensors for cooling efficiency
- Thermal map sensors for rack-level 3D analysis
- AC/DC power sensors for energy monitoring
- Smoke sensors for early fire detection
- RFID swing handle locks for secure rack access
With E-Sensor8 expansion modules, the platform scales to 500 sensors, making it suitable for enterprise-level data centers.
20 Dry Contacts Integration
A distinctive feature of the securityProbe5ES-X20 is its 20 opto-isolated dry contacts that allow seamless integration with third-party systems, including:
- Fire and safety alarm systems
- UPS units and backup generators
- HVAC or building automation systems
- Access control and alarm circuits
Inputs and outputs can be freely assigned, enabling the X20 to actively control relays or alarms, making it a central hub for IT and facility monitoring.
Alarm Management and Escalations
Flexible alarm management supports customized rules and escalation chains that align with SLA and security policies. Alarm channels include:
- SNMP traps for Nagios, PRTG, SolarWinds, Check_MK
- Email alerts via SMTP/SMTPS
- GSM/LTE SMS and voice call notifications
- Encrypted HTTPS alerts
