AFS60: Airflow sensor 

measures the presence or the absence of airflow 

AKCP airflow sensor is a switch type on/off style sensor.

A threshold can be set to determine the sensitivity of the sensor. Ideal for placing in-front of air intake or exhaust fans to indicate if the airflow is sufficient and as an early warning of failures in the cooling sytems or fans. It is best used to send an alert in the case of a fan, AC failure or when airflow is present when it should not be.

AKCP airflow sensor is designed for systems that generate heat in the course of their operation and a steady flow of air is necessary to dissipate this heat generated. System reliability and safety could be jeopardized if this cooling airflow stops.

AKCP airflow sensor is placed in the path of the air stream, where the user can monitor the status of the flowing air. AKCP airflow sensor is not a precision measuring instrument. This sensor is meant to indicate the presence or the absence of air flow - not to measure the amount of airfow.

In addition to the sensors ON or OFF status, AKCP airflow sensor's condition can also be read via an SNMP get using its OID. SNMP traps sent when critical. SNMP polling via get available. Web browser interface available. When an alarm condition is activated the description and location of the fault can be sent via email, page.

Features and Benefits
• On/off alarm signal of airflow
• Accurate, cost effective flow sensing
• Operates from a single +5V DC power supply which is powered by the sensorProbe monitoring appliance
• 2 LEDs indicate the status of airflow and that the sensor is securely plugged into the sensorProbe monitoring appliance
• Electronics mounted in a small plastic case
• sensorProbe auto detects the presence of AKCP airflow sensor
• Full autosense including disconnect alarm
• Data graphically displayed via a web page
• Sensor can be extended to your desired cable length using a CAT-5 cable of any length up to 60 feet

Package Includes
1x Airflow sensor
1x 60 foot CAT-5 cable with 2x RJ-45 connectors

Note: AKCP does not recommend connecting the airflow sensor though patch panels, or using RJ-45 couplers to extend them.
