(May 30, 2025) Power management may not be flashy, but it’s foundational, and AMETEK SurgeX just dropped a new tool that aims to give integrators more control while dialing back service calls. Say hello to Axess ELITE+, a rack-mounted power management system that blends the company’s Advanced Series Mode surge protection with remote monitoring and IP outlet control, all tied into their SurgeX CONNECT cloud platform.
This isn’t just about filtering noise or flipping outlets remotely. SurgeX is leaning on its core technologies here – most notably its non-sacrificial Advanced Series Mode surge elimination. That means it can knock out power surges without introducing issues like ground contamination or common-mode noise. It's the kind of clean, quiet protection that mission-critical AV systems need and hardcore enthusiasts want.
Designed for both residential and commercial installs, Axess ELITE+ supports up to 9 NEMA or 11 IEC individually controllable outlets (including one right on the front), and it includes expected pro touches like a swappable locking power cord, external temperature and humidity sensor support, and a locking on/off switch.
Where this unit really opens up is through SurgeX CONNECT. The platform gives integrators access to cloud-based tools for monitoring power conditions, managing outlets, setting up auto-ping and power-cycling rules, and automating actions based on thresholds or events—all from a single interface. You can even daisy-chain up to 16 units and control them together via a built-in web GUI.
Steve Trunkett, Director of Global Sales at SurgeX, summed it up: “Axess ELITE+ incorporates our decades of power know-how with our latest remote management capabilities, providing the premium power protection our customers expect, whilst making systems safer and integrators’ lives easier.”
For anyone already using SurgeX gear, ELITE+ slots into the Protect + Connect lineup and plays nicely with the rest of the ecosystem. Everything feeds back to SurgeX CONNECT, giving integrators a centralized view of power quality and hardware health across all their deployments.
