AKCP Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Continuous monitoring of ambient temperature and humidity is essential in modern data centers, server rooms, and industrial facilities. Even slight deviations in these parameters can result in corrosion, equipment damage, or complete system failures. The AKCP Temperature and Humidity Sensors provide precise, SNMP-enabled solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing monitoring infrastructures, ensuring safe, automated operations.

Particularly powerful is the AKCP Dual Temperature and Humidity Sensor, which combines two critical climate measurements in one device. This dual functionality delivers highly accurate temperature control alongside precise humidity detection, presenting a comprehensive view of environmental conditions. By monitoring both parameters within one sensor, hardware costs and ports are optimized, and efficiency across IT and industrial monitoring is significantly improved.

Using AutoSense technology, AKCP sensors are automatically detected and activated once connected to AKCP sensorProbe+ base units. Administrators simply configure warning and alarm thresholds, ensuring that overheating, excessive humidity, or overly dry conditions are promptly identified. All values can be transferred via SNMP to central platforms such as Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG for complete visualization and historical analysis.

As a core element of modern environmental monitoring, these sensors are indispensable across multiple industries – beyond IT environments, they play vital roles in pharmaceuticals, food storage, museums, archives, and remote facility monitoring.

Dual Sensor for Temperature and Humidity

The AKCP Dual Sensor is designed to measure temperature in the range of -55 °C to +75 °C with 0.1 °C resolution and ±0.5 °C accuracy. At the same time, it provides humidity values from 0% to 100% RH with ±2% to ±5% accuracy. This dual function makes it ideal for environments where both parameters directly affect device safety, material storage, and process reliability.

Available in different designs, the sensor can be supplied as a 30 cm fixed lead version, or in extended types with cabling lengths up to 100 ft (≈30 m) or 330 ft (≈100 m). Using RJ45 connectors and high-quality Cat5/6 cables, integration into modern IT infrastructures is straightforward and flexible.

Calibration and Redundancy Options

For long-term accuracy, the sensors are calibrated to ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST standards. Redundant models are available: NIST2 versions utilize dual calibration checking for live redundancy, while NIST3 variants employ triple redundancy, ensuring seamless accuracy even in case of sensor inconsistencies. These redundancy features are essential in mission-critical environments such as banks, pharmaceutical operations, and enterprise-scale data centers.

When calibration anomalies occur, the system triggers an alert to inform administrators. Maintenance or recalibration can then be scheduled proactively, ensuring data accuracy and operational reliability.
