The SPX+ is a versatile IP based sensor monitoring device. Connect up to 16 of AKCP’s intelligent sensors, 20x dry contact I/O’s, 0-5VDC or 4-20mAmp inputs, control relay outputs and monitor third party devices.
Since its recent release, the SPX+ has grown to an installed base of approximately 5,000 base units. On average we have 4 hardware failures per year that require RMA replacement. That is to say that the SPX+ is operating for 43,800,000 hours for every 4 failures. That is a MTBF of 10,950,000 hours. The sensors have an approximately similar record of durability.
The reason that this failure rate is so low is by design. The SPX+ was created for rugged environments. The components used in the SPX+ can withstand high-temperature environments because they generate very little heat. The SPX+ operates on 1 Watt of power. This stands in contrast to larger systems running more complex, and less reliable operating systems such as Linux.
Typical small computers often run at 300 Watts requiring a fan. The SPX+ doesn’t need fans or special cooling. The case is built from Aluminum, not plastic. The SPX+ has been tested in environmental chambers to be able to operate reliably at 70° C. During the manufacture every SPX+ is tested, then burned in for 96 hours in order to eliminate infant mortality. The system is put into stock awaiting a customer order.
