What is the internal impedance of your DC Voltmeter sensors?
Our Digital Volt meter has an input impedance of 2M ohms (2,000,000 ohms).
If I do extend the run length of my sensors, for example my temperature/humidity sensor, does this affect the reading and accuracy of the sensor?
Does extending the sensor will it affect the reading? All temperature and humidity communications are 100% digital with no loss of accuracy regardless of the length. There is an A/d…
I noticed you have a 5 dry contact sensor for the sensorProbe2, what is the OID for this sensor?
You would use the same OID for the 5 dry contact sensor as you would for the switch sensor type or single dry contact sensor. You can download our OID…
I see you have two types of temperature and the dual temperature humidity sensors, can I extend both of them?
Yes, we offer two types of these sensors. The TMP01 and THS01 are the fixed one foot type and are only designed to be connected directly to the AKCP base…
Can I connect these sensors through my RJ-45 CAT5/6 patch panels? Can I use those female to female CAT5 RJ-45 couplers to extend them?
No, we do not recommend you trying to connect any of our AKCP sensors including the temperature and dual temp humidity sensors though patch panels or using the RJ-45 couplers…
Can AKCP provide me with the wiring diagrams for each sensor I have?
Wiring diagram and pinout for AKCP intelligent sensors? Yes, we have all the wiring diagrams for all of our Intelligent sensors. Please contact the AKCP Support Team at [email protected] for…
Can AKCP provide me with CE certifications for your sensors?
Yes, we have CE certificates for most of our products. You can request them from the AKCP Sales Team at [email protected], or you can download them from our web site….
Can I connect third party sensors to my sensorProbe, or securityProbe?
Yes, actually, one of our greatest strengths is AKCP can provide a data collection center for many different third party sensors. Using our 4-20mA intelligent sensor, we can interface to…
Can I connect a third party sensor using the 4-20mA sensor if it outputs more than 5 VDC?
Can I connect third party sensors with 4-20mA sensor? You can apply more than the 5VDC, but you need to be careful not to exceed the 20mA current. The 4-20mA…
What is the accuracy of a 4-20mA converter?
The accuracy of our 4-20mA converters is 2%. The resolution of our 4-20mA converters is 0.1mA. You can use these figures in conjunction with your sensor?s accuracy to find the…
I am sure that all settings for the Digital Voltmeter sensor are correct, but it seems to have error in the reading. How can I correct this error?
The Digital Voltmeter and 4-20mA sensors have an input as analog signal which will be converted to digital using an A/D converter. Normally, the A/D converter is calibrated in production…
I just finished a calibration process, but the reading is still a little bit off. Is there any way to fine tune the reading?
In the calibration process, we set the offset of the reference voltage so that the raw analog read 500 when the input to the RJ45 port is 1.25 volts. However,…
