Product Information
Product Description
Ensure your critical IT and industrial environments stay cool and operational with the AKCP Air Flow Sensor, an advanced environmental monitoring sensor designed to detect the presence or absence of airflow in real time. Whether you need data center airflow monitoring, server room airflow detection, or HVAC system monitoring, this industrial sensor solution helps prevent costly downtime caused by overheating or airflow disruptions.
Key Benefits and Applications
-
Real-Time Airflow Measurement: Detects both steady air movement and interruptions to ensure optimal cooling performance.
-
Rack Cooling Optimization: Monitor air circulation to maximize cooling efficiency in server racks, reducing energy waste and operational risk.
-
Prevent Server Overheating: Receive instant alerts when airflow stops, helping you act quickly to protect critical equipment.
Plug-and-Play Integration
This plug-and-play sensor connects easily to any AKCP sensorProbe or securityProbe controller without the need for additional software or configuration. Simply place the sensor in the air stream path—up to 1,000 feet away from the controller using standard sensor extension cables (5 ft cable included)—to begin air movement detection right away.
Network-Enabled Monitoring and Alerts
With its network-enabled sensor capabilities, the AKCP Air Flow Sensor integrates seamlessly with your existing AKCP monitoring platform. Access real-time status through a web browser interface, and leverage SNMP interface features for:
-
SNMP polling via GET commands
-
SNMP traps for immediate alert notifications
-
Graphical status display showing air flow on/off conditions
When an alarm condition is detected, the system can automatically send notifications via email or SMS with the fault's description and location, keeping you informed no matter where you are.
Ideal for Industrial and IT Environments
The AKCP Air Flow Sensor is a cost-effective and reliable solution for:
-
Data centers seeking to improve rack cooling optimization
-
Server rooms needing air circulation monitoring
-
HVAC systems requiring continuous environmental monitoring
-
Industrial sensor applications where airflow reliability is critical
Fully compatible with AKCP sensorProbe and securityProbe devices, this sensor provides the visibility and control you need to prevent server overheating and ensure optimal performance across your facilities.
