4-20 mAmp Sensor

The 4-20 mAmp signal converter is used to integrate the sensorProbe with a 4-20 mAmp transmitter

AKCP intelligent sensors

The AKCP 4-20 mAmp signal converter is used for integration of the AKCP sensorProbe and AKCP securityProbe remote security devices with a 4-20 mAmp transmitter. The 4-20 mAmp technology is used to transmit analog signals over long distances in enviroments with electrical interference.

The process control industry uses this technology to collect the analog values from remote sensors because current signals are much less susceptible to noise than voltage signals. A voltage signal can be converted to current and then broadcast over a long distance before it is converted back to voltage and read by the AKCP sensorProbe or AKCP securityProbe device.

Individual adjustment of measurement units in the web interface

In the Web interface of the sensorProbe and securityProbe IP Meters You can customize the settings of the signal converter 4 20mAmp / measurement converter indivuduell.

So you can rename the connected analogue sensors foreign individual and the unit, such as Celsius (C), revolutions per minute (rev / min), Pascal (Pa) registration form.

SNMP functionality of the sensor measurement converter 4-20mAmp

The sensor and securityProbe IP Alarm Server are SNMP compatible. The sensor 4-20mAmp Signal Converters / measurement converter is equipped with a so-called. "Object Identifier" (OID) and can be used in SNMP tools (MRTG, Cacti, etc.) or network management systems (OpenNMS, Nagios etc.) are involved.

The required MIB files and SNMP Utilities are included with all sensorProbe and securityProbe monitoring systems!

Installation

The installation of 4-20mAmp measurement converter is straightforward. After attaching the appropriate sensor (pressure sensor, gas sensor pp.) To the 4-20mAmp measurement converter, you just have to plug the Cat5 cable supplied to a free sensor terminal of the sensorProbe or securityProbe monitoring device.

Thanks to the Auto Sense feature, the sensor measurement converter is automatically identified and displayed in the web interface of the sensorProbe or securityProbe. You then define the desired units and limit and warning values at lower or exceeding the measured values of the devices connected to the converter sensor.

AKCP 4-20 mAmp Sensor

 

The 4-20 mAmp signal converter is used to integrate the sensorProbe with a 4-20 mAmp transmitter. 4-20 mAmp technology is used to communicate analog signals over long distances where electrical interference is a problem. This solution is often used in the process control industry to collect the analog values from a wide array of remote sensors.
