Monitherm has unveiled a differential pressure sensor and an air-flow sensor to enhance the range currently offered by its wire-free MLS2000 monitoring system
The addition of a differential pressure sensor and an air-flow sensor, based on the Wilson grid principle, extends the Monitherm range which already covers temperature, relative humidity, CO2, O2, and light levels.
These new sensors will allow independent monitoring of clean-room conditions and Cat 3 or 4 containment laboratories.
The MLS2000 is a comprehensive independent monitoring system, launched at the end of last year, designed to cover all aspects of monitoring laboratory equipment and is virtually wire free.
All data is sent from the sensor to the base station via R/F and then logged to a hard disk.
This information can be displayed either in tabular form or graphically.
Out of limits alarms can be set for each channel and the system will alert visually and audibly as well as alerting off-site staff if required.
As well as guaranteeing traceability, the system also provides flexibility and has been designed to allow new sensors to be added quickly and easily at any time, with the base station accommodating up to 128 probes of any parameter.
Each channel is individually configured for units of measurement, high and low limits, and alarm delay time.
Calibration of the sensors is done using techniques approved by the NPL and then compared to a UKAS calibrated standard.
With a range of up to 250m in all directions, this monitoring system will cover most sites with a single installation.
Since there are no wires, the MLS2000 also enables sensors to 'follow' equipment required to be moved from one location to another as well as integrating additional items at any time.
The company will be pleased to demonstrate the system at prospective customers' premises.
