American Innovations Introduces
APM2AM – New 2 Channel Wireless Remote Monitoring Device
AUSTIN, TX – July 19, 2002: American Innovations
is now offering a new addition to their Bullhorn® family of wireless
remote monitoring products – the APM2AM. This device is very flexible
and ideal for general monitoring, cathodic protection monitoring, and
test point monitoring. It has 2 channels, which can accept analog (+/-5V,
+/-50mV, or 4 to 20 mA with external resistor) or digital signals.
Just like the rest of the Bullhorn family, the units
can be set to report by exception when under "alarm" conditions
or at pre-configured "health check" intervals. Alarms can
be configured in a variety of ways, and advanced alarming capabilities,
which eliminate false alarms, are standard in the product. Automatic
alarm notification can be sent via fax, page, or e-mail.
"American Innovations is committed to providing
the best value in wireless remote monitoring. The newly released two
channel unit is sized for smaller point count applications and provides
an extremely cost effective way to monitor remote equipment," explains
Lee Blankenstein, AI's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Applications
for this unit include cathodic protection monitoring and pipe to soil
measurements. With this release, American Innovations offers a new PVC
enclosure which effectively hides the antenna from vandalism while offering
an option for an integral permanent half cell."
The standard APM2AM has a lithium battery capable of
1500 transmissions (approx. 4+ years transmitting once/day); it's optionally
available in an anodized aluminum enclosure and/or with the gel cell
battery with solar or AC charger.
The Bullhorn system uses the MicroBurst™ wireless
network from Aeris.net to transfer information from remote equipment
to a central database. In seconds, data packets are transferred from
the Bullhorn unit over the cellular network to the Aeris.net operating
center and on to AI's secure web site where packets are decoded and
the data is posted for customers to view or to download.
