SP2+B-LCD (SP1+B and SP2+B)
Quick Start Guide – 2023

Introduction

The SP2+B-LCD combines the SP2+ software & features with the LCD display. These compact units include the hardware to support up to 4 sensor ports, dry contact, built in PoE and LCD display to show data from connected sensors. The SP2+ LCD Basic can be upgraded to the Pro version with a one time software license.
Basic vs Professional Versions
The below table shows the features included with the SP2+B-LCD Basic, and the benets of upgrading to the Professional license. Please contact our sales team (sales@akcp.com) for the cost details.

Setup of the SP2+-B-LCD Base Unit & Notifications

Please refer to the SP2+ Introduction and Notifications manual on our website support portal for all of
the details on the setup of the unit, connecting sensors and sending notifications.

**Hardware Configuration Options

**

Connect up to 4 AKCP sensors, including combined cabinet thermal maps and contactless current meters, providing up to 9 sensors per port.

**Optional Hardware & Configurations

**

4G Modem – External cellular data modem plugs into dedicated UART EXT modem port.
External PSU – Add a 5VDC external power supply for reduancy when combined with PoE
Modbus RS485 – Change the dry contact input to be Modbus RS485 (SP2+B -LCD-MOD)

Again, please refer to our specific product manuals for the USB external modem, the Modbus RS485 & the dry contact here below when setting these up on the SP2+B-LCD;

Dry Contact Input & Output

When connecting an external 3rd party dry contact to the internal dry contact input on the SP2+LCD, the connections are Pin 2(SIG) and Pin 3(GND) as shown in the diagram below. The initial status will be critical, and when shorted it becomes normal.
This is the same when configuring the dry contact as an output. The connections are Pin 2(SIG) and Pin 3(GND), When the status is set to low, Pin2 and Pin3 is 0VDC which you can check via a multimeter, then when the status is set to high the voltage is 5VDC.

Dry Contact Web UI configuration
Please see the screen shots below on where in the SP2+LCD web UI the dry contact is configured.

LDC display

The LCD display combined on the SP2+B-LCD base unit can be programmed to display the data from any AKCP sensor or virtual sensor.
You can mount the unit on the end of an aisle, on the door of every cabinet, or on the wall of a room.
The LED indicators will alert if a sensor is in critical condition, as well as the on screen display of the critical or warning status.
LCD Overview

Features:

• Easy to read, high quality backlit LCD display
• Program to display specific sensors
• Keyhole mounting
• LED Status indicator for Critical and Warning sensor statuses
• Built-in temperature sensor (not available on the SP2+LCD)
• Displays the base unit’s IP address (see below)

Please Note: The temperature reading in the top left corner of the unit will not show as the built-in temperature sensor is not available on the SP2+LCD.
Watch our YouTube video referring to the LCD sensor: https://youtu.be/kIieKQJ52-U Which will also apply to the LCD functions on the SP2+LCD.
SP2+LCD Reset Button
The reset button on the SP2+LCD unit functions the same as the SP2+ unit.
The reset button performs the following on the SP2+LCD.
A. IP address broadcasting (press for 0 – 3 seconds)
B. Device reboot (press for 3 – 7 seconds)
C. Web UI password reset (press for 7 – 12 seconds)
D. Soft reset (press for 12 – 17 seconds)
E. Hard reset (press for 17 – 22 seconds)
F. Reset to default IP 192.168.0.100 (press for 22 – 25 seconds)
G. No action (25 seconds)
SP2+LCD Power & Additional Connections

1. Reset Button | The reset button as explained above.

2. Ethernet Connection & PoE.

3. Power Connections. The unit can be powered by both PoE and a micro USB

5VDC adapter simultaneously (micro USB cable included).
It can also be powered by our 5.5VDC 3A power adapter using this DC jack to micro USB adopter shown below. The 5.5VDC adapter or the adapter shown below are not included.

4. Power LED.

Note: Please contact our sales team for more details on the options available when ordering the SP2+LCD units.

LCD Configuration

The SP2+-B-LCD configuration is shown below in the following screen shots.

Now you can define the display rotation list that will be displayed on the LCD. The Primary Rotation List is what will be normally displayed on the screen.

Click on the Add button, and one by one add the sensors that you’d like to have their statuses displayed on the LCD.
Note: You can only select the sensors which are already connected to the unit.

For each sensor, you can define the duration of the display, before it will switch to the next sensor status display.

The preview screen will show you how the configured display will look like, with the actual sensor reading and status value.
The small index counter on the top right corner of the LCD screen shows the sensor’s order number in the list. You can reorder the sensors by selecting them and clicking on the Up/Down buttons accordingly.
Save your configuration, then it will be uploaded to the sensor (this takes a few seconds).

There’s also a Critical Rotation List configuration, which will be used when one of the monitored sensor’s status is in a warning or critical state.
Important: The Critical Rotation List will override the Primary Rotation List if a sensor’s status is warning or critical and will only display those sensor statuses.
The display configuration is the same as for the Primary Rotation List, but you can also define a blinking rate value (slow or fast) to emphasize the value reading that is being displayed.
LCD Display Sensor Types
Switch type sensors that have no unit values are displayed as a sensor- type. The following list provides a definition of the sensor mapped to a specific sensor type. Examples can be seen on the following page.
ST-01 – Airflow
ST-02 – Dry Contact I/O
ST-03 – Dry Contact Input
ST-04 – Motion Detection
ST-05 – Water Sensor
ST-06 – Security Sensor
ST-07 – Siren and Strobe
ST-08 – Sensor Controlled Relay
ST-09 – AC Voltage Sensor
ST-10 – 8x Sensor Controlled Relay
ST-11 – Smoke Detector
ST-12 – 8 Dry Contact I/O

Examples of LCD Display program

Through the SP2+LCD web interface the LCD display is programmed to display the sensors you wish to view and the sequence in which they are displayed. The above example shows a series of 4 sensors status being displayed.
