SPX+ Standard Configurations

SPX+ is available in several standard configurations. These “off the shelf” units cover most peoples monitoring requirements. These base configurations can be built upon, adding features with additional modules. Use our online configuration tool to check your configuration meets 1U or 0U mounting dimensions.

SPX4

• 4x intelligent sensor ports.
• 1x EXP / Modbus / RS485 port.
• 1x BEB port.
• 1U rack mounting, brackets included.
• Short DIN rail mounted version available. (SPX4-D)
• Basic configuration, build your customized device with additional modules.

SPX4-X10

• 4x intelligent sensor ports.
• 10x I/O Dry contacts. (Isolated dry contact options also available, please see list of optional modules)
• 1x EXP / Modbus / RS485 port.
• 1x BEB port.
• 1U rack mounting, brackets included.
• Short DIN rail mounted version available. (SPX4-X10-D)

SPX8-X60

• 8x intelligent sensor ports.
• 60x I/O Dry contacts. (Isolated dry contact options also available, please see list of optional modules)
• 1x EXP / Modbus / RS485 port.
• 1x BEB port.
• 2U rack mounting, brackets included. (Optional mounting “back to back” in 1U)
• Configuration consists of master SPX+ and additional BEB unit.

SPX+ Modules

The below modules can be added to the standard configurations to build up the device with what you need. For example, if you wish to have 12 sensor ports, you can order an SPX8 and an additional sensor4 module. You can also build your unit using our online configuration tool to check that it fits in 1U or 0U rack mounting. If you exceed 1U then there is the option to continue the configuration on an additional U connected via BEB to the base unit.

sensor4 Additional sensor ports can be added to the base SPX+ module in blocks of 4. sensor4 modules are compatible with all AKCP intellligent sensors. Build a cost effective monitoring platform, able to monitor multiple cabinets from a single IP address. Module Code :- S

Dry10/20 Dry contact modules come in several flavors. IO modules, and isolated input only. Use dry contacts for monitoring a variety of third aprty devices, door contact sensors, digital outputs from UPS, control panels and alarm panels. Use IO dry contacts to actuate responses to inputs. Module Codes :- D1, D1i, D1iV, D2, D2i, D2iV

AC Voltage Detection Monitor 10x or 20x AC Voltage inputs, detect if circuits are energized or not. This module does not give a votlage reading, only the presence or absence of AC Voltage. Voltage range is 5-30ACV @ 44mA. Module Codes :- D1ACV, D2ACV

Cellular Modem and Optional GPS The cellular data modem module gives the SPX+ ability to communicate over a cellular data network. An external antenna ensures a good signal can be received even if the SPX+ is inside a cabinet. Send SMS alerts directly from the SPX+ device, or connect it to our central monitoring platform, AKCPro Server, via a VPN connection. Cellular modems are available in 4G European and US bands. Optional GPS antenna can be added for geolocation of the device. Module Codes :- MA, ME, M4A, M4E / GPS

4x Analog to Digital inputs This module is ideal for connecting third party analog sensors with a 0-5VDC or 4-20mAmp scale output. Many industrial sensors are available with this scale output, opening up the possibilities of monitoring many different sensors not provided by AKCP. Module Code :- A2D4, A2D4 (4-20)

4x Mini Relays This module includes 4x mini DC relays. Use them to switch on/off low current devices directly, or use them to drive larger relays. Ideal for systems and control, building and industrial automation. Module Code :- 4MR

2x Mini Relay and 2x Analog to Digital inputs This module is a combination of the above modules, with 2x relays and 2x 0-5VDC or 4-20mA analog sensor inputs. Module Code :- A2DMR, A2DMR (4-20)

Ball Valve Control Module If you have DC motors or electronically controlled ball valves which require polarity reversal to turn in the opposite direction, this module is applicable. Ideal for water irrigation or industrial applications which require valve and motor controls. Module Code :- VC

Internal UPS (4x AA rechargable batteries) This module provides backup internal power supplied by 4x AA rechargable batteries (batteries not included). Ideal for use in situations where poiwer may be unstable, to esnrue continued logging of data. Combine with a 3G or 4G modem for continued alerts even if your network is down. Module Code :- UPS

sensorProbeX+ Expansion Architecture

Every SPX+ comes with both EXP (Expansion) and BEB (Basic Expansion Bus) ports. These expansion ports give you the ability to add functionality to your base device, so your system can grow with your needs.

Basic Expansion Bus (BEB)

BEB is suitable for short distance expansion within your cabinet. Build up your system adding additional SPX+ BEB Remote units. Daisychain the expansion units up to a maximum of 20 meters for the total chain. SPX+ BEB Remote units are cost effective expansion when you place the unit within the same or neighbouring cabinet.

4x BEB – Max total cable length 10 meters

3x BEB – Max total cable length 18 meters (3x 6m)

2x BEB – Max total length 20 meters (2x 10m)

2x BEB – Max total length 20 meters (1x 20m)

Expansion (EXP)

EXP is used where you need to extend the distance up to 300 meters. SPX+ EXP Remote devices can be daisychained, with a maximum of 300 meters between each unit.
