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.
