AKCP SensorProbe2+

In modern data centers and server rooms, reliable and scalable monitoring of critical environmental parameters is essential to prevent downtime, hardware damage, or data loss. With the AKCP SensorProbe2+, AKCP introduces a compact, cost-effective, and highly flexible IT monitoring solution that is perfectly tailored for professional use in critical infrastructures.

The SensorProbe2+ was specifically developed to meet the growing demands of server room monitoring. It combines advanced sensor technologies with user-friendly operation, providing companies with a smart solution for monitoring temperature, humidity, water leaks, airflow, and other security-relevant parameters. This makes the SP2+ an indispensable component of environmental monitoring in data centers, industrial facilities, or even telecommunications hubs.

The device stands out for its versatility: it comes with two active sensor ports by default, which can be expanded to four with a Pro license. This allows the SensorProbe2+ to adapt precisely to the specific requirements of its environment. From simple rack installations to complex distributed monitoring setups, the system’s modular architecture ensures it can grow and be extended at any time.

Its major strength lies in the combination of flexible sensor integration, extensive protocol support such as SNMP or Modbus, and redundant power supply for maximum operational reliability. Additionally, the optional cellular module provides accessibility even in isolated networks or remote sites. This makes the SensorProbe2+ a future-proof, scalable, and economical solution for operators of all sizes.

Intelligent Sensor Integration and Maximum Flexibility

At the core of the SensorProbe2+ is its innovative support for a wide range of AKCP sensors. Common applications include temperature monitoring, humidity control, airflow detection, security monitoring via door contacts, and critical water leak detection. Depending on the model and license chosen, up to four sensor ports can be used to cover extensive scenarios simultaneously.

Thanks to AKCP’s proprietary autosense technology, the SensorProbe2+ automatically detects and configures connected devices. Combined with plug-and-play setup, this eliminates lengthy and complex manual configurations. This significant simplification reduces error potential and ensures fast deployment even in highly complex IT environments.

Scalable Architecture – Basic and Pro Models

The SensorProbe2+ is available in two main models: SP2+ Basic and SP2+ Pro. While the Basic version with two active ports provides a strong entry-level solution, the Pro version unlocks all four ports and significantly extends functionality.

The Pro version additionally offers support for SNMPv3, VPN, RADIUS authentication, Modbus TCP/IP, and IPv6. Furthermore, it includes five virtual sensors by default, which can generate calculated values or logical associations. With expansions, companies can add up to 80 virtual sensors to cover even complex scenarios. This turns the SensorProbe2+ from a simple monitoring device into a professional IoT platform for the data centers of the future.

Enhanced Connectivity and Communication

A key feature of modern monitoring systems is seamless integration into existing networks. The SensorProbe2+ comes standard with HTTPS, TLS, and SNMP monitoring. With the Pro license, integration of Modbus and secure protocols such as VPN or RADIUS are available. This makes the SP2+ highly attractive for companies that must adhere to strict compliance requirements.

For special scenarios, AKCP offers a version with optional cellular modem. This enables communication even without Ethernet infrastructure. Particularly practical is the ability not only to transmit data but also to send emergency SMS alerts or initiate voice calls. This ensures technicians are notified even during network failures.

Redundant Power Supply and PoE Support

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support significantly reduces cabling requirements. A single cable is sufficient to supply both data and power to the SensorProbe2+. In addition, the device supports a redundant power supply. Users can integrate both AC and DC input to greatly increase operational reliability.

These features are particularly valuable for data centers and telecommunications providers, where uninterrupted operation is essential. In combination with dual PDUs, the monitoring system automatically switches between different power sources in case of an outage, ensuring continuous monitoring even at critical times.

Virtual Sensors and IoT Integration

A unique feature of the SensorProbe2+ is the ability to use virtual sensors. These can calculate values from physical sensors, such as dew points, heat indexes, or air quality metrics. The Pro version also offers advanced alarm logic, allowing multiple sensor conditions to be combined into complex rules.

Furthermore, the SP2+ supports modern IoT protocols such as MQTT/MQTTS, integrating it seamlessly into modern cloud and edge computing environments. This makes it possible to analyze data not only in local networks but also across decentralized structures, enabling predictive maintenance strategies.

Applications and Practical Use Cases

The application possibilities of the SensorProbe2+ are extensive. Typical scenarios include:

• Server rooms: Monitoring temperature, humidity, water leaks, and access security via door contacts.
• Data centers: Complex interplay of many sensors for holistic environmental monitoring, rack thermal mapping, and energy consumption measurement.
• Telecommunications: Monitoring remote network infrastructures with redundant power supply and optional cellular modem.
• Industry: Integration of generators, UPS systems, or production equipment via Modbus, as well as the use of the RS485 option.

Robust Design and Industrial Quality

Its compact design and robust hardware ensure a long lifespan even under challenging conditions. With high-quality SMD components and industrial-grade manufacturing techniques, the SensorProbe2+ offers high reliability. Its wide operating temperature range and tolerance to humidity make it suitable for harsher environments as well.

Future-Proof Investment

The SensorProbe2+ is a solution that grows with its operators’ needs. Its modular architecture, flexible licensing, and continuous development of new features by AKCP make it a sustainable, long-term investment. Thanks to modern IoT integration, the device is ensured to remain part of future monitoring concepts.

What are the differences between Basic and Pro?

The Basic version includes 2 active sensor ports and supports standard protocols such as HTTPS and SNMPv1/v2c. The Pro version unlocks all 4 ports, adds support for IPv6, SNMPv3, RADIUS, VPN, and Modbus, and comes with 5 virtual sensors included.

How does water leak detection work?

Using special AKCP leak detection sensors, the SensorProbe2+ can detect even the smallest amounts of escaping water. Notifications are sent immediately via e-mail, SNMP traps, or optionally by SMS or phone call through the cellular modem.

What is the role of the Pro license?

The Pro license significantly expands functionality, turning the device into an enterprise-grade solution. In addition to unlocking more sensor ports, it enables advanced network protocols, integration into security policies (e.g., RADIUS), and support for modern cloud/IoT connections.
