AKCP Temperature Sensor

Monitoring sensitive IT infrastructures without reliable temperature control is hardly conceivable. Server rooms, data centers, and industrial environments depend on stable conditions to ensure smooth operation. The AKCP Temperature Sensor provides a professional solution designed for the requirements of modern IT environments. With precise SNMP-based temperature measurements, it delivers early warnings of critical changes that could otherwise result in costly hardware damage or downtime.

Whether as part of a comprehensive data center monitoring strategy or in combination with other AKCP sensors, this high-performance sensor is an essential tool for administrators and facility managers. It integrates seamlessly into IT infrastructure monitoring, delivering real-time measurement data to central management systems for full climate control – even in large and complex deployments.

The AKCP SNMP Temperature Sensor is among the most advanced solutions on the market. Its semiconductor technology and microprocessor-driven architecture ensure outstanding accuracy. Fully compatible with AKCP sensorProbe+ and securityProbe base units, it empowers flexible, scalable, and secure remote monitoring. Thanks to full network capability, administrators are provided with smooth integration into existing infrastructure monitoring tools.

Alongside high technical performance, it also offers practical usability. AutoSense functionality ensures a fast installation process, while the robust stainless-steel casing and water-resistant sensor cable guarantee durability in demanding conditions. With cable lengths of up to 50 meters and custom options, AKCP sensors can adapt to specific requirements – from small server rooms to large-scale data halls.

State-of-the-Art Temperature Measurement

The key advantage of the sensor is its highly precise and continuous temperature measurement. With a resolution of 0.5°C, even slight changes are promptly identified. Given that IT hardware is highly heat-sensitive, early detection of deviations via the AKCP sensor helps prevent service disruptions and serious damage.

For specialized applications – such as industrial environments, laboratories, or medical facilities – AKCP also provides thermocouple and ultra-low temperature sensors designed for extreme conditions. This extends coverage from standard server rooms to cold storage warehouses or production processes where accurate monitoring is mission-critical.

Easy Integration into Existing Systems

AKCP base units – such as the sensorProbe+ and securityProbe series – provide an easy-to-use platform for integrating sensors. With AutoSense technology, the sensor is instantly detected and configured upon connection, requiring no manual setup. Administrators can then simply define threshold values and alarm rules to start monitoring without delay.

SNMP support allows queries via OID and seamless integration into network monitoring systems. This enables visualization, alerts, and trend analysis via Nagios, PRTG, or Zabbix, ensuring that no critical climate event goes unnoticed.

Robust Design & Flexible Installation

The stainless-steel casing offers protection against external impacts, and its water-resistant cable makes it suitable for deployment under raised floors or in high-condensation areas. Easy installation is further ensured by supplied mounting clips, while cable options are available from 30 cm up to 50 m, and even custom lengths. This makes deployment flexible, supporting multi-point monitoring across complex data center layouts.

NIST Calibration & Reliability

A standout feature of AKCP temperature sensors is professional calibration using NIST-certified procedures. The NIST2 version actively compares two sensors for accuracy, while the high-redundancy NIST3 sensor continuously monitors with three paired sensors. Automatic failover ensures uninterrupted measurement in case of anomalies, providing the highest reliability in mission-critical setups.

NIST3 sensors are ideal for sensitive environments like banks, hospitals, or enterprise-scale data centers. They are compatible exclusively with sensorProbe+ units, while NIST2 models are also supported by the securityProbe series.

Practical Applications

• Server room monitoring – protect IT assets from overheating.
• Data center monitoring – deploy multiple sensors for climate zone control.
• Cold storage – ensure constant storage temperatures.
• Industrial use – safeguard temperature-sensitive processes.

Combined with humidity, water leakage, or smoke sensors, the AKCP solution creates a complete infrastructure monitoring ecosystem – detecting and responding to multiple environmental risks in one platform.

Reliability & Safety

Combining measurement accuracy, rugged design, and intelligent redundancy, the AKCP SNMP Temperature Sensor provides highly reliable monitoring. NIST-certified calibration reduces false alerts, while alarm notifications ensure administrators can act rapidly to protect systems and maintain uptime.
