IKS has introduced the Titan range of interface substations, the latest addition to its Xiltrix registration, monitoring and alarm system.
These substations are intended to simplify the setup and operation of comprehensive laboratory monitoring systems.
Such systems can include hundreds of sensor inputs and alarm outputs - up to a thousand in some cases - and the new substations are designed to facilitate system integration while improving reliability and reducing overall costs.
Parameters such as temperature, CO2 and oxygen concentration, pressure and humidity can all be monitored by Xiltrix sensors.
The new substations can be used to connect either four Pt100 temperature sensors or four current-based sensor signals for other parameters.
Up to four digital inputs to monitor events such as door opening can also be connected.
Four digital alarm output channels are available.
Flexible communication options offer real-time monitoring using hard-wired, network or wireless connectivity.
The Titan substation monitors the local power supply and gives an alarm in case of power failure, while continuing to function using its built-in battery back-up system.
The new design is fully compatible with all existing Xiltrix monitoring systems.
According to Han Weerdesteyn, Xiltrix product manager at IKS, Xiltrix offers real-time monitoring, flexible communication and alarm options and comprehensive data logging, providing a complete monitoring and alarm solution for all laboratories.
