Yes, the securitySensor can actually be wired in sequence. You can take the contact from one security sensor and wire it to the next. The only limit to the number of sensors you can have in series is the maximum run length of the Security Sensor, which is 300 meters, or about 1,000 feet. You have a couple options. You can connect the security sensor, from each door to each extra dry contact input (X20). The advantage of this solution is that if you have 20 doors you can label each one individually and see which one has triggered. With them wired in sequence you will know a door has opened but not which door.

Climate Change and Data Centers
As the climate changes, so should Data Centers. Natural disasters and warmer global temperatures are making the Data Center Industry think about their future.
Case Study: Simon Fraser Mechanical Room
Simon Fraser University has constructed a new research data center. It is a 175 rack facility which houses Cedar, the world's 50th largest supercomputer. Construction was recently completed with 107 racks fully populated. AKCP sensor solutions were chosen to monitor the data center and the mechanical room which houses the chilled water plant equipment.
In the initial phase, spot and rope water sensors have been installed in the mechanical room connected with AKCP sensorProbeX+ SNMP enabled base units. The spot and rope water sensors are placed at key points where leaks are most likely to occur. Rope water sensors are laid out along the lengths of pipes or perimeter of an enclosure.
