Sensaphone is your round-the-clock solution for remote monitoring and alarm dialer. Monitor water and wastewater treatment and management, pumping stations, operating equipment, labs and office facilities. Know immediately about environmental changes and alarm conditions. Minimize contamination, overflow or costly repairs. Choose the model of Sensaphone that's right for your environment.

Temperature: All the Sensaphone models listed above can monitor for temperature. The SCADA 3000 offers 16 universal inputs for 10K thermistors, as well as an additional Thermocouple module capable of monitoring extreme temperatures. The Express II's inputs (8 inputs are standard but you may have as many as 40) are universal and can be configured to accept four different kinds of analog thermistors: 2.8K F, 2.8K C, 10K F, or 10K C; high and low limits are user programmable. The Sensaphone 2000's eight universal inputs will accept both 2.8K and 10K thermistors with user-defined limits.

Power Failure: All the Sensaphone models above can monitor for power failure. SCADA 3000's universal inputs can monitor power. Optional standard or extended backup batteries are available. The Express II can use Dry Contact (N.O./N.C.) sensors and comes with a Gel-cell rechargeable backup battery to provide 6-12 hours of backup operation. The Sensaphone 2000 monitors AC power in addition to its 8 universal inputs. It includes a compartment for 6 Nickel-Cadmium batteries to provide 10-15 hours of backup. Input status is viewable with the free Manager software accompanying the 2000.

Pressure: SCADA 3000, Express II, 2000, and 1800 accept sensors which can be configured to monitor pressure. All three offer universal inputs that can all be configured as 4-20mA (to measure current) or 0-5V for any pressure gauge sensor that puts out from 0 to 5 volts. SCADA 3000 offers PID algorithmic control functions to monitor and maintain pressures, and Real-Time screen building to give you a look at conditions as they exist. The Sensaphone 2000 offers Data Logging, downloadable Event Logging, Graphing and Polling to keep you informed of pressures and can store over 32,000 input readings.

Flow Rates: SCADA 3000, Express II, Sensaphone 2000 and 1800 accept 4-20mA sensors that can be attached to analog flow meters, and 0-5V transducers, which can themselves be flow meters. SCADA 3000 includes Gas Flow functions and PID functions. The high speed Pulse Count expansion module handles pulse rates up to 10kHz. Express II, in addition to 4-20 mA and 0-5V, can be configured for Pulse Count sensors. A typical pulse count sensor is a flow meter utilizing a turbine to measure flow by accumulating pulses. Maximum pulse rate for this configuration is 1Hz. Sensaphone 2000 allows monitoring of flow meters in real-time graphical form using bars, gauge or contact status forms.

Timers: The Express II has a built-in Time Accumulator for use with N.O. Dry Contact inputs, to accumulate and tally the total amount of time that an input sensor is closed. The Sensaphone 2000's real-time Data and Event logging record information at specified intervals. The SCADA 3000's universal inputs handle run-time accumulation. Coupled with its PID functions, C and Ladder programming, it offers the widest variety of timer control, as well as both Data and Event logging.

Alarms: High and low alarm limits are programmable in the Sensaphone SCADA 3000, Sensaphone 2000 and 1800. The Express II includes a built-in microphone allowing you to listen in to sound levels on site. You can program the unit to respond with an alarm when sound levels exceed a normal level.
