Summary of Contents for AKCP Airflow

  • Page 1 Airflow Sensor User Manual On / Off Type & Percentage Firmware versions SP+ 1.0.4997 - SP76 - SEC405s Copyright © 2019, AKCP Co., Ltd.
  • Page 2 Configuring the Airflow sensor on your sensorProbe+ unit a) Plug the sensor into one of the RJ45 ports on the rear, or front panel of the unit. The Airflow sensors can be extended using CAT5/CAT6 UTP straight through cables. The maximum run length from the AKCP base units RJ-45 sensor port to the sensor is 100 feet or 30 meters.
  • Page 3 Now you can re-name your Airflow sensor, adjust the rearm and sensitivity settings and change the Normal State. You can change the Normal state to be in the normal state when the airflow is present or not present. This is quite convenient in the event you required to be alerted if airflow is present that is not desired, for example, an air sealed clean lab where Airflow should only be flowing out of the room and not in.
  • Page 4 These details also apply to our sensorProbe and securityProbe base units below. Polling the On/Off Type Airflow sensor via SNMP. The Airflow sensor is not a switch type sensor, as it is measuring and reporting a level of airflow from 0 to 100, but it has only 2 status’s.
  • Page 5 SP+ product manuals, so please refer to these that are on our website. Configuring the airflow sensor on your sensorProbe unit a) Plug the sensor into one of the RJ45 ports on the rear panel of the unit.
  • Page 6 Airflow sensor, adjust the rearm and sensitivity settings and change the Normal State. You can change the Normal state to be in the normal state when the airflow is present or not present. This is quite convenient in the event you required to be alerted if airflow is present that is not desired, for example, an air sealed clean lab where Airflow should only be flowing out of the room and not in.
  • Page 7 After clicking on the Calibrate button, a reminder will be displayed as shown above, then you would click the OK button to begin the calibration of the airflow sensor. For the Relay Control and Siren Control please see the Dry Contact, Sensor Controlled Relay or the Siren / Strobe user manuals for information on these options.
  • Page 8 Status and change the Normal State to the Presence or Absence of airflow. The sensitivity can be set to a specific number in the event the airflow is a lot or very low. - 8 -...
  • Page 9 To calibrate the Airflow Sensor, click in the Calibrate button as shown above. After clicking on Calibrate button, you are able to calibrate the airflow sensor. The airflow sensor should be calibrated only if the sensor does not seem to be detecting airflow properly.
  • Page 10 The airflow sensor is really designed to sense the presence of air, not to measure the amount of airflow. The best application is to place it near the air source but if you want a reading of less than 100% then you need to place it further away but again it is not designed to be an anemometer. It is best used to send an alert in the case of a fan, or in your case, AC failure.
  • Page 11 The Airflow sensor is placed in the air stream, where the user can monitor the status and the amount of flowing air. In addition to an on/off indication, it also graphs the analog values over a period of time.
  • Page 12 Airflow Sensor are lost, the status of the Airflow Sensor is changed to “sensorError”. Can I extend the airflow sensor, if yes, how do I do that and how far can I extend it? Yes, you can extend the airflow sensor using standard CAT5 LAN cable. The total run length of this sensor is 30 meters or roughly 98 feet.
