John Crane launches wireless vessel monitoring
John Crane has launched its wireless 3in1 Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), designed to remotely measure the pressure, temperature and level of the barrier fluid in a system.
All of these are easy to operate when wearing gloves, with six being reserved for drive commands, while the other two are used for such functions as 'crane on', 'horn' or lights 'on/off'.
Also, its high performance re-chargeable NiMH battery means that when used for around two hours per day, the Quadrix can work for up to 20 days without the battery having to be re-charged.
Crane Care radio specialist, Mark Hollyhead, has been impressed with the versatility of the Quadrix, commenting: "This cost-effective product has been twelve months in the making and has come about as a direct result of Crane Care and HBC listening to the demands and preferences of both UK and European customers.

Ours is always a tight marketplace and we are confident that in launching the Quadrix, we have stolen a march on our competitors by bringing an equally effective but more compact and lightweight unit to the table".
Weighing only 330 grams, the Quadrix is a user friendly handset, fitting comfortably into most pockets while still promising the same high levels of performance and functionality as its predecessors.
Mark continues: "In addition to its sheer convenience, the Quadrix benefits from having in-built Automatic Frequency Selection (AFS), which as a non interruptible system, means that in areas with high radio density, signals on various frequencies from neighbouring devices won't interfere with its performance.
However, should there still be any frequency problems or any possible unauthorised use of the transmitter, its newly developed locking 'STOP' impact switch is part of an innovative switch-on mode which can be executed quickly to prevent mis-use".
Crane Care prides itself on offering outstanding products and as sales and marketing director, Sharon Evans, concludes, the Quadrix is another high quality addition to the company's product range: "When bringing a new product to market, it is always important that we offer our customers something different to what has been available before.
As such, the functionality of the Quadrix is immense, with various extra features including a hidden switch to allow the operator to change frequency when necessary, making it an even more attractive proposition.
In short, the Quadrix is another exceptional piece of HBC equipment and we are confident that it will soon find its niche in the marketplace".
