Thermal Monitoring/Monitoring

For many key businesses, financial, I.T, media, petrochemical, oil & gas, telecommunications, large scale manufacturing etc.consequences of sudden unexpected power failures can result in severe financial and/or safety costs.The need for real predictive maintenance of all key components has been a desire that until now could not be met. The current accepted method of non-contact thermal inspection has been through thermography via thermal imaging cameras, however, this only gives a snap shot on the day - problems could arise the next day undetected.

{mosimage}Another major limitation with traditional thermal scanning is that no IR device can 'see through' solid objects, all they can do is measure the external surface of a panel, components which are not adjacent to an external surface can never be measured accurately and some not at all.

Exertherm™ is a different form of IR inspection. Small, low cost, accurate, non-contact, infrared sensors are permanently fitted where they can directly monitor key components e.g motors, pumps, drive bearings, gearboxes, generators, and even inside enclosures monitoring high and low voltage switchgear.

{mosimage}They monitor 24/7 and miss nothing.These sensors which require no external power measure the target temperature in relation to ambient with the signal indicating the °C rise on ambient, so avoiding inaccuracies due to weather conditions, environment etc.

The sensors feed back signals to a PC where automatic data logging provides instant on-screen trend graphs. Two alarm levels per sensor automatically activate in the event that preset levels are exceeded, thus identifying problem component and allowing planned maintenance to be carried out.

{mosimage}The system can be connected to over 250 building management systems and fitted to new projects, retro- fitted and easily expanded.

{mosimage}New developments include data transfer via ethernet, internet, cell phone, using GPRS technology for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Data can be transferred from various sites to central monitoring unit even from un-manned locations. See Telemetry

To complete your electrical maintenance regime - for inspection of less critical areas outside switchgear not requiring continuous monitoring use our hand held scanner. Typical applications: fuses, MCB's, DIN rails, terminations, switches, contactors, distribution boards, cables etc.

Features: REAL PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE 24/7 - NOT JUST A PERIODIC SNAPSHOT - IDENTIFIES FAILURES BEFORE THEY HAPPEN - USES SMALL NON-CONTACT INFRARED SENSORS - EVEN FIT INSIDE SWITCHGEAR ENCLOSURES - SENSORS MTBF =1000yr+ - NO EXTERNAL POWER - IDENTIFIES FAILURES BEFORE THEY HAPPEN - AUTOMATIC DATA LOGGING FOR INSTANT TREND ANALYSIS - TWO ALARM LEVELS - DATA TRANSFER OPTIONS - CONNECTS TO OVER 250 BMS
