Hanwell Instruments announces the launch of FloodWatch, an innovative new alarm system for alerting maintenance personnel when there is danger of internal flooding
Typical applications include tank level alarms, system failures, power failure monitoring and remote alarms.
AlarmWatch combines 4 contact inputs and stores up to 8 telephone numbers.
Once an alarm has been registered, an SMS alarm message is sent to the first programmed number.
If there is no response the other numbers are called in order until a response is received.
The delay time for a response is user programmable.
The alarm message contains alarm number, alarm information and site name.
What makes AlarmWatch unique is the incorporation of a watchdog to monitor the modem status.
This means that should there be any problem with network connectivity, the modem will automatically reset itself and reconnect to the network.
This avoids the communication problems generally associated with off-the-shelf GSM modems.
The AlarmWatch units are battery powered, which is user replaceable, with a life expectancy of approximately two years.
All set-up is done via the USB interface, using a free and simple software programme. Request a free brochure from Hanwell Instruments ...
