Compact Monitoring for a Single IT Rack
The AKCP sensorProbe 1+ (SP1+) is a compact monitoring device for monitoring a single server cabinet or smaller technical room. It features an intelligent sensor port, a dry contact input (Dry Contact I/O), and a fixed temperature sensor on a 5-foot cable. The SP1+ uses the same user interface as the larger devices in the sensorProbe+ series and therefore includes the same functions: MQTT, IPv6, SNMPv3, RADIUS, TACACS, Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet, as well as up to 80 virtual sensors (some of which require a license).
In combination with a sensor splitter box, thermal map sensors, and a contactless current meter, the SP1+ can be expanded into a complete rack monitoring solution – with temperature measurement at the front, rear, top, middle, and bottom of the cabinet, Delta-T control, humidity, and power consumption monitoring. The dry contact is additionally suitable for door contacts, while virtual sensors enable the integration of third-party devices.

Extension 5DCS
AKCP sensorProbe1+: License for 5 Dry Contacts (5DCS) – Extended Status Monitoring for Your Infrastructure Expand the functionality of your AKCP sensorProbe1+ base unit and integrate a wide range of binary status signals into your central monitoring. The "License for 5 Dry Contacts (5DCS)" unlocks five additional inputs for dry contact sensors on your sensorProbe1+, allowing you to reliably monitor critical states such as door openings, smoke alarms, or the status of UPS systems. This package is ideal for supplementing your monitoring strategy with simple but crucial on/off signals. What are dry contacts and how do you benefit from them? Dry contacts are simple electrical contacts that report a binary state—open or closed. They do not emit voltage themselves but react to an external change (e.g., a door closing, a relay being triggered) and signal this state to the sensorProbe1+. Typical applications for dry contacts include: Security monitoring: Door contacts, window contacts, motion detectors, alarm status of intrusion detection systems. Environmental monitoring: Leak sensors (water, liquids), smoke detectors, fire suppression systems. Device status: UPS status (battery operation, mains failure), status of circuit breakers, fan failures, emergency stop switches. With the "License for 5 Dry Contacts (5DCS)", you can connect five such external devices or sensors to your sensorProbe1+. The base unit immediately detects changes in the state of these contacts and can trigger correspondingly configured alarms—whether via email, SMS, or SNMP trap. This transforms your sensorProbe1+ into an even more versatile guardian for physical security and operational status. Why choose this license for your sensorProbe1+? The sensorProbe1+ is a cost-effective and compact solution for basic monitoring. By adding the dry contacts license, you significantly expand its range of applications. You can easily integrate existing switches or alarm systems and obtain a central platform that collects both environmental data and important status messages. This is particularly advantageous for small server rooms, remote technical locations, or sensitive areas where both environmental and security aspects need to be monitored. Your benefits at a glance: Versatile status monitoring: Capture a wide range of on/off states. Increased security: Monitor doors, windows, and access points. Enhanced environmental control: Integrate smoke and leak detectors. Easy integration: Use standardized dry contact interfaces. Reliable alerting: Immediate notification of state changes. Make your sensorProbe1+ an even more powerful and comprehensive monitoring tool—with the license for 5 dry contacts!
