Remote Sensor Units (RSUs)

temperature alarm and logging system

MSM Enterprise Edition
MSM temperature alarm and monitoring systems have been guaranteeing the integrity of valuable product and samples in health-care and pharmaceutical environments since 1995. The new Enterprise Edition satises a customer move towards network friendly systems with devolved departmental responsibility linked to a secure audit trail. The MSM system consists of a Central Scanner monitoring the data collected by a network of Remote Sensors Units. Remote Sensors Units are mounted adjacent to the storage locations they are monitoring, and can be up to 1km from the Scanner.

True continuous logging

The Scanner interrogates the RSUs at a rate of 9 channels per second. The Scanner stores in the data log the worstcase value measured during each logging interval.

Ethernet Interface
An Ethernet interface means that anyone on the network with a valid password can access the system.

Alarms monitored on any PC

Alarms can be continuously monitored or periodically interrogated on any networked PC. If an alarm occurs, user entered advisory text appears in a pop-up window so that staff have the appropriate information to deal with the situation. The operators name and comments are also recorded when the alarm is cleared.

Central Scanner
The Scanner is the display, alarm, logging and control station. The large clear display makes it easy to understand what is happening. Menu selection using ve pushbuttons means that everyone nds the system simple to use. The Scanner is completely self-contained and doesnt rely on a PC for its operation. When out of limit conditions occur, the Scanner generates both audible and visual alarms, and tells you exactly what is happening. No cryptic fault codes or unrecognisable channel numbers. You dene the location title and the error messages displayed for each alarm type.

Audit trail
The time, date, error message and sensor value for each alarm are recorded in the event log. Anyone can mute an alarm, but it cant be ignored. It will re-alarm after a preset time. If staff with an access key cancel an alarm or make settings changes at the Scanner, their identity and details of the actions are recorded in the event log. If the Scanner is accessed remotely, either via a modem or over the network, the users identity and actions are again logged.

Remote Sensor Unit (RSU)

The RSU is a three-channel logger with local audible alarm and LED status indicators for each channel. Each channel will also accept two digital alarm inputs. Temperature versions measure from -200C to +200C using a Pt100 probe to BS EN 60751 (IEC 751), class A. RSU versions for relative humidity, differential pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are available with user set display units and range. Other parameters are measured using universal versions that accept voltage or current inputs.

Central Scanner

Built-in alarm management

The system has 12 independent alarm outputs (zones). Two different combinations of channel alarms are allocated to each alarm output. This permits different day/night settings on each alarm output. This powerful tool ensures that alarms are directed to the department/person who owns the problem. An optional Speech Dialler can be connected to any alarm output. It stores three user-recorded messages and calls up to 4 telephone numbers or pagers until it gets a response.

Passwords and Scanner access keys

56 passwords and coded access keys mean that every user can be identied. The system manager assigns levels of access permissions for each user and can restrict which channel alarms a user is allowed to reset.

Security for your valuable data

A back-up battery ensures that your system will continue to collect data and generate alarms for at least 6 hours when the mains supply fails. A foolproof archive procedure ensures no valuable data is lost, accidentally overwritten or deleted. Data can be archived locally or to a network drive. Individual coded access keys, in addition to multi-level password protection, eliminate unauthorised setting changes. The Bus Monitor continuously checks for valid databus trafc and generates an independent alarm if, for whatever reason, there is a system failure.

Easy to use software

Displays of logged data show alarm conditions at a glance. A 5 level zoom makes it easy to nd out what happened. Data can be exported to other applications for inclusion in reports. Upper and lower alarm limits, alarm delays, logging interval, channel title, sensor name, alarm message text and operator instructions are independently set for each sensor. An alarm analysis function enables you to use the data youve collected to identify and investigate channels that are causing problems and thus improve performance on your site.

Clear and concise printouts

You can print graphs of logged data in colour, showing settings and statistics, in portrait, landscape or strip chart format. The event log, tabular data, archive catalogues, system settings and calibration status can also be printed.

Temporary alarm disable

No more spurious alarms during defrost cycles. Alarms are temporarily disabled, for example, during defrost and automatically re-enabled when the cycle is completed. Disable times are individually set for each location, and temperatures are logged throughout defrost. The user initiating the temporary disable and the times at which the alarms are disabled/re-enabled are logged.

A range of systems you wont outgrow

MSM systems are ideal for applications which will expand above 50 points. The 360 point system will monitor your entire site. It even looks after your satellite locations using telephone or radio links. If you need less than 50 points, ask for information on our SCANLOG and ALARMLOG systems. Call us today to arrange a site survey. Its free; there is no obligation.

Traceable calibration and validation

The Calibration Pack is NAMAS certied. PC software guides the non-technical user through the calibration sequence. The calibration date is stored within the RSU and a certicate is printed. The Alarm Limit Test Unit validates the alarm settings.
