AKCP AC Sensor Controlled Relay

Reliable control of electrical equipment is a key component of modern IT and industrial infrastructures. With the AKCP AC Sensor Controlled Relay, companies have a state-of-the-art solution that combines automatic load control with network integration. This intelligent relay enables both remote control and automated switching of systems based on data from connected sensors. In doing so, AKCP provides a solution that improves both operational safety and energy efficiency.

The relay serves as an optimal link between monitoring and automation. In data centers, for example, it can automatically activate ventilation and cooling systems when defined temperature or humidity thresholds are exceeded. It also creates value in building automation and industrial process control, as its network-based management allows flexible control at any time via web interface or SNMP.

Technical Features of the AKCP Sensor Controlled Relay

• Input voltage: 110–220 V AC via IEC C14
• Output voltage: IEC C13, universal compatibility
• Relay capacity: 10 A at up to 250 V AC operating voltage
• Protection functions: integrated MOV and snubber technology
• Status indicators: LEDs for input/output voltage and switching status
• Integration: seamless connection to AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe systems
• Alerts: e-mail, SMS, SNMP traps depending on scenario

Innovative Control and Protection Functions

The AC Sensor Controlled Relay is more than an ordinary relay module. It provides protection against voltage surges and spikes through MOV (metal oxide varistor) and snubber circuits, making it suitable for continuous operation even in demanding environments. Beyond that, it enables intelligent load automation: when linked to AKCP sensors (e.g. temperature, humidity, smoke, or motion), complex processes can be triggered—from switching on air conditioning systems to automatically activating security measures.

Remote Control and Central Administration

Via the web interface of the sensorProbe and securityProbe base units, the relay can be remotely managed at any time. Administrators can monitor switching status through LED indicators and intuitive dashboards, and they can define conditions for automatic response. Thanks to SNMP support, the relay can also be seamlessly integrated into common platforms such as Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG, or IBM Tivoli, including alarm forwarding and escalation management.

Typical Applications

• Data centers: remote control of cooling systems, air conditioning, and UPS units
• Industrial automation: control of machinery and process systems
• Building automation: intelligent lighting, HVAC systems, or access controls
• Telecommunications: management of redundant circuits and emergency switching
• Remote sites: remote power control in unmanned facilities

Integration and Automation

Through close integration with AKCP monitoring systems, sensors and relays can be combined to create flexible automation schemes. For instance, exceeding a humidity threshold can trigger immediate activation of ventilation systems, or a power failure can automatically start backup generators. These IF-THEN logics enable intelligent processes in line with Industry 4.0 and modern building management automation.

Economic Benefits

The advantages for operators are clear. The AKCP AC Relay enables processes to be controlled automatically and in an energy-efficient manner. This reduces personnel effort for routine tasks while lowering energy and maintenance costs. In addition, early and automated responses to temperature or power issues help prevent costly downtime. As a result, the relay module pays for itself after only a short period of operation.
