Intelligent Sensors Knowledge Base
Intelligent Sensors Knowledge BaseCan you please explain how your airflow sensor works?
The way the air flow sensor works is there are two thermistors, one internal and one external. A thermistor changes resistance based on air temperature. The internal thermistor is the…
How accurate is your airflow sensor?
The airflow sensor is not a precision measuring instrument. This device is meant to measure the presence or the absence of air flow. The placement of the sensor is very…
Is it possible to extend the run length of my sensors?
Yes, you can extend the run length of your sensors, but each sensor has its own maximum, so please contact the AKCP Support Team about your specific sensor. Also remember…
I have one of you DC Voltmeter sensors and my question was can this sensor handle DC signals from 0 to 10 mV?
What is the resolution of the AKCP DC Voltmeter? The lowest signal will be 0.1V (100mV). We display only the one decimal place in the web interface of the unit….
Do I have to use a special type of cable to extend the run length of my sensors?
You can use any type, or brand of standard CAT5/6 UTP LAN cable to extend your sensors.
What is the internal impedance of your DC Voltmeter sensors?
Our Digital Volt meter has an input impedance of 2M ohms (2,000,000 ohms).
If I do extend the run length of my sensors, for example my temperature/humidity sensor, does this affect the reading and accuracy of the sensor?
Does extending the sensor will it affect the reading? All temperature and humidity communications are 100% digital with no loss of accuracy regardless of the length. There is an A/d…
I noticed you have a 5 dry contact sensor for the sensorProbe2, what is the OID for this sensor?
You would use the same OID for the 5 dry contact sensor as you would for the switch sensor type or single dry contact sensor. You can download our OID…
I see you have two types of temperature and the dual temperature humidity sensors, can I extend both of them?
Yes, we offer two types of these sensors. The TMP01 and THS01 are the fixed one foot type and are only designed to be connected directly to the AKCP base…
Can I connect these sensors through my RJ-45 CAT5/6 patch panels? Can I use those female to female CAT5 RJ-45 couplers to extend them?
No, we do not recommend you trying to connect any of our AKCP sensors including the temperature and dual temp humidity sensors though patch panels or using the RJ-45 couplers…
Can AKCP provide me with the wiring diagrams for each sensor I have?
Wiring diagram and pinout for AKCP intelligent sensors? Yes, we have all the wiring diagrams for all of our Intelligent sensors. Please contact the AKCP Support Team at [email protected] for…
Can AKCP provide me with CE certifications for your sensors?
Yes, we have CE certificates for most of our products. You can request them from the AKCP Sales Team at [email protected], or you can download them from our web site….
