Introduction
In this manual we will talk about the general features of SP1+. We will not go into details
of sensor configuration or notification setup, as these are the same between any
member of the sens family such as SP2+ and SPX+. Please refer to the
manuals of these units for more information.
What is the SP1+?
The SP1+ is a compact monitoring device. It has a hard wired temperature sensor and a
dry contact. There is an RJ45 sensor port that supports connecting AKCP sensors.
Note that SP1+ doesn’t support a modem option.
SP1+ comes equipped with 1x intelligent sensor input and 1x dry contact digital I/O, a
hard-wired temperature sensor on 5ft cable, and PoE as standard. Connect any of
AKCP’s sensors, including cabinet thermal maps, and contactless current meter using
the sensor splitter interface box.
All SP1+ devices come with SNMPV3 support. Additional security features can be
unlocked such as support for IPV6, Radius and TACACS. Up to 80 virtual sensors
monitor third party devices via SNMP or Modbus TCP/IP.
Options
5VDC USB power - External USB power supply, used in combination with PoE as a
redundant power input.
Modbus RS485 - Convert the dry contact I/O input to Modbus RS485.
Mini Relay - Convert the dry contact I/O to a mini relay.
What’s the difference between the SP1+ and SP2+, SPX+?
The SP2+ has 4 sensor ports for connecting any compatible AKCP sensor.
SP1+ is similar to SP2+ but only with one sensor port and no modem option.
The SPX+ supports expansion modules and has a modular design allowing you to
choose your own configuration.
