Product Description
Ensure Accurate Environmental Monitoring With The AKCP NIST2 Temperature Sensor Featuring SNMP Integration.
Temperature data is only useful if you can trust it. The AKCP NIST2 temperature sensor includes two sensors in one housing, each calibrated to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards. Every second, the sensor checks the primary reading against the secondary one. If the two readings differ by more than the stated accuracy, the monitoring system alerts you that the sensor needs recalibration, before bad data reaches your reports.
The sensor plugs into the RJ-45 intelligent sensor port on an AKCP sensorProbe+ or securityProbe base unit. The base unit then detects and configures it automatically, so setup comes down to setting your warning and critical thresholds. Each sensor has its own SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) OID, allowing readings to be integrated into the network management system you already run.
Paired with a sensorProbe+ or securityProbe unit, the sensor reads in 0.1°C increments with ±0.2°C accuracy from -10°C to +75°C. Its full measurement range is -55°C to +75°C. A water-resistant stainless steel tube protects the sensing element in server rooms, data centers and industrial control spaces. Power comes from the base unit, so you have no extra supply to wire.
Choose the cable that fits your installation:
- TMP01-NIST2, 1 ft fixed cable: The sensor comes on a 1 ft cable with an RJ-45 connector. It works best for monitoring at the rack or cabinet that holds the base unit. This model can’t be extended in the field.
- TMP00-NIST2, 5 ft extendable: A remote sensor unit that ships with a 5 ft CAT5 cable. You can extend it up to 165 ft (50 m) with standard CAT5 cable to reach the far side of a room or a separate enclosure.
- Custom fixed lengths: For a longer fixed cable, call for information.
Note: NIST2 sensors work only with AKCP sensorProbe+ and securityProbe series base units. A sensorProbe+ or securityProbe controller is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NIST2 mean?
Each sensor has two NIST-calibrated temperature sensors inside. The primary reading is checked against the secondary reading once a second. If the difference exceeds the stated accuracy, the base unit flags the sensor as out of calibration, so you know when to recalibrate.
Should I choose the TMP01-NIST2 or the TMP00-NIST2?
Choose the TMP01-NIST2 if you’re measuring at the rack or cabinet where the base unit sits. Choose the TMP00-NIST2 if the measurement point is farther away. It ships with a 5 ft cable and extends up to 165 ft with standard CAT5.
Can I extend the TMP01-NIST2 or run it through a patch panel?
It depends. The TMP01-NIST2 is a fixed-length sensor and isn’t designed to be extended in the field. AKCP also advises against connecting any of its sensors through patch panels or RJ-45 couplers. If you need more length, choose the TMP00-NIST2 or call to order the TMP01-NIST2 plus a custom fixed length.
Which base units work with NIST2 sensors?
TMPxx-NIST2 sensors work only with AKCP sensorProbe+ and securityProbe series base units.
Do I need a separate power supply?
No. The sensor draws its power from the base unit through the RJ-45 sensor port.
