Using cost effective Power Monitoring Sensors from AKCP linked into your power supply will monitor power consumption, and connected to the securityProbe 5E, an intelligent monitoring device, will enable notification and alerts to be generated to give you control over building facilities like Lighting, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
For many building or facilities managers in the Telecoms and Data Center sectors it’s important to keep on top of power consumption and this is possible through smart or sub-metering where power is measured coming into specific rooms, floors or buildings.
Example Application:
* Site:
For a small data center building with say 2 floors and 8 offices occupied during normal office hours.
* Problem One:
The facilities manager wants to monitor power consumption and cost on a monthly basis.
* Problem Two:
He wants control over computer/server systems that consume power and needs to demonstrate costs savings as well as audit consumption data.
* Situation:
The facilities manager is targeted by his management team with reducing the data centers power consumption and must provide analysis of power (cost) usage by equipment (systems) on a room by room basis over time, and so identify potential savings
How AKCP can help:
* Using the securityProbe (an intelligent monitoring device) the power is monitored through Power Monitor Sensors (PMS) and Current Transformers (CT’s) connected to the power source (sub-metering) and the AKCP securityProbe.
* Use the AKCP securityProbe 5E web interface to set parameters like cost per unit and the monitoring of loads to specific locations and equipment.
* Set up unit costs to give an accurate cost report for specific locations, rooms or floors.
* The AKCP securityProbe 5E connects to various systems via the dry contacts to control HVAC, Lighting and security systems.
* Set up motion detectors so if no motion is detected in a computer room for a given period of time the lights can be switched off where an employee has left the computer room but forgets to switch off the lights.
* Not only are you able to control power usage but the AKCP securityProbe 5E also has a great Access Control and video surveillance functionality allowing you to monitor and record unusual events and activities.
* The AKCP securityProbe 5E also has an alert and notification feature that lets you know if something has exceeded a give parameter. |
