AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60 – Comprehensive monitoring with 60 dry contacts
AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60
The AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60 is one of the most powerful monitoring systems in the securityProbe series, designed for mission-critical IT environments, data centers, and industrial plants. With eight RJ45 smart sensor ports and 60 configurable dry contacts, it offers a unique combination of direct sensor data collection and dry contact integration. The X60 version serves as a central modular monitoring platform for complex server room monitoring and large-scale infrastructure.
Key Highlights
- 8 RJ45 ports for AKCP smart sensors
- 60 opto-isolated dry contacts for external systems
- SNMP v1/v2/v3 integration for enterprise NMS
- IoT-ready: MQTT/MQTTS, Syslog, HTTPS
- Modbus/RS485 support for industrial environments
- Durable 2U rackmount, fanless, energy efficient
- MTBF over 10 million hours
Smart Sensor Integration
Via its eight ports, the X60 supports a wide range of AKCP sensors, such as:
- Temperature and humidity sensors for climate monitoring
- Airflow sensors for rack and room cooling optimization
- Thermal map sensors for 3D hotspots and rack thermal analysis
- Smoke detectors for early fire alerts
- AC/DC power meters for energy monitoring and PDU management
- RFID swing handle locks for physical access security
Expandable up to 500 sensors via E-Sensor8 and E-opto16 modules, it scales to meet the needs of distributed data centers.
Dry Contact Integration
With 60 opto-isolated dry contacts, the SP5ES-X60 connects to a variety of external systems, including fire alarms, UPS, HVAC, and access control. These I/O ports can drive relays, triggers, or control external safety devices, bridging IT monitoring with facility management.
Alarm Management
A robust alarm system ensures prompt notification using:
- SNMP traps for Nagios, PRTG, WhatsUp Gold, Check_MK
- Email alerts via SMTP/SMTPS
- SMS/voice messages via GSM/4G
- HTTPS push and Syslog integration
Configurable escalation chains guarantee critical alerts are never overlooked.
Technical Platform
Based on Linux with i.MX25 ARM processor, 128 MB NAND flash, and SD card slot (up to 16 GB). Supports:
- SNMP v1/v2/v3 with MIB integration
- MQTT/MQTTS for IoT platforms
- HTTPS secure web management
- RADIUS & VPN for secure authentication
Scalability
Expansion via E-Sensor and RS485 allows integration of up to 500 sensors and modules at distances of 300m. Its modular architecture adapts from compact rooms to enterprise campus installations.
Application Areas
- Server room monitoring – climate, power, and security control
- Data center supervision – scalable for hundreds of sensors
- Facility management – integration with building and safety systems
- Industrial monitoring – process and infrastructure control
- Telecom & edge sites – secure remote monitoring over GSM/VPN
Conclusion
The AKCP securityProbe5ES-X60 is a professional-grade monitoring solution offering robust sensor integration, 60 dry contacts, modular scalability, and advanced alarm management. It sets a benchmark for data center, IT, facility, and industrial security monitoring.
