Choose from standard configurations or build your own!
sensorProbeX+
The latest generation of sensorProbe devices, in a form factor that allows for 1U, 0U and DIN rail mounting. A low profile design that is economical on cabinet space. sensorProbeX+ comes in several standard configurations, or can be customized by choosing from a variety of modules such as dry contact inputs, IO’s, internal modem, analog to digital convertors, internal UPS and additional sensor ports.
- Every sensorProbeX+ is equipped with Ethernet, Modbus RS485, EXP and BEB communications
- Compatible with sensorProbeX+ EXP and BEB units, expand the capabilities of your device.
- 1U rackmount brackets, Tool-less 0U mounting or DIN rail mounting options.
- Notification by SNMP, Email, SMS (requires optional cellular modem), built in buzzer.
- Compatible with wide range of AKCP Intelligent sensors.
- Start with base configuration and build up your device with modules you need.
- Up to 80 virtual sensors.
Intelligent Sensors
sensorProbeX+ is compatible with all AKCP Intelligent sensors, making it an extremely versatile and cost effective monitoring solution. From the data center, to remote sites, industrial controls it has you covered.
Environmental Monitoring Sensors
Wherever monitoring of environmental conditions is important to your daily operations and health of equipment, deploy sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, airflow and water leaks.
Security Sensors
RFID Access control swing handle cabinet locks, door contacts and motion detectors will keep you in tune with the security situation at your sites down to cabinet level. Control who can access and when with RFID access control, centrally managed and monitored through AKCPro Server.
Power Sensors
AC Voltage detection, DC volt meters, sensor controlled relays and power metering can all be done on the SPX+
Specialized Sensors
Tank depth pressure sensors can monitor for liquid levels in fuel tanks, oil storage, chemical tanks and so on. Any tank up to 2 meters in depth can be monitored. Alarms generated when levels drop to critical levels, making sure you can re-fill with sufficient notice. Other specialized sensors include the keyswitch override, to disable notifications while maintenance work is being performed, and a programmable LCD display.
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.

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.

















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 expasion units up to a maximum of 18 meters for the total chain. SPX+ BEB Remote units are cost effective expansion when you place the unit within the same or neighbouring cabinet.
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.
AKCP smartRack System
Both wired and wireless solutions for creating your own intelligent racks. Monitor temperature, △T, humidity, differential pressure, power, control access and more. Fully SNMP compliant, monitor from your existing NMS or using our free DCIM AKCPro Server.
