Intelligent Sensors Knowledge Base
Intelligent Sensors Knowledge BaseCan 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,…
Do you have any sensor that is capable of reading the fluctuation of electricity, and send me reports?
How to monitor electricity fluctuations? We have a sensor that is capable of monitoring Voltage, Wattage and Amperage. This is our Power Meter Sensor. You can set alerts as with…
I noticed you have an airflow sensor, can you tell me how can I utilize this sensor in my environment to help prevent problems?
The AKCP airflow sensor is designed for systems that generate heat in the course of their operation and a steady flow of air is necessary to dissipate this heat generated….
Can you please explain how your airflow sensor works?
The way the air flow sensor works is there are two thermistors, one internal and one external. A thermistor changes resistance based on air temperature. The internal thermistor is the…
How accurate is your airflow sensor?
The airflow sensor is not a precision measuring instrument. This device is meant to measure the presence or the absence of air flow. The placement of the sensor is very…
