New Satellite Wireless Remote Monitoring Device: Get Data From Your
Equipment Anytime, Anywhere
AUSTIN, TX – March 9, 2004: American Innovations
(AI) is offering an exciting new addition to their Bullhorn® family
of wireless remote monitoring products—the APM4AM-SAT. The APM4AM-SAT
uses the Inmarsat D+ satellite system for communication and is an excellent
way to supplement installations where 100% cellular coverage is unavailable.
It is ideal for international use and enables equipment monitoring in
very remote locations.
The APM4AM-SAT monitors many different kinds of equipment
including cathodic protection equipment (rectifiers, test points, and
critical bonds), city gates, compressors, storage tanks, pumping stations,
pressure, flow, temperature and much more. In addition to monitoring
inputs from equipment, the Bullhorn APM4AM-SAT provides automatic notifications
of alarm events via voice notification, fax, page and/or email. With
secure access, data can be viewed on the Internet from anywhere in the
world, day or night.
“Our new satellite capability extends the coverage
of the low-cost, reliable Bullhorn Wireless Remote Monitoring System
allowing communication from those areas without cellular coverage,” explained
Lee Blankenstein, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for AI. “This
technology will allow Bullhorn to provide 100% coverage while remaining
the lowest cost solution available. Also, our customers can now easily
monitor their assets in international locations since the satellite
system covers the globe.”
The APM4AM-SAT has a total of 6 inputs. Channels 1-4
can be analog or digital; channel 5 can be digital or an accumulator;
and channel 6 can be digital or an accumulator reset. It is powered
by a lead acid battery charged by a solar panel or AC charger. For corrosion
applications, it can be used with rectifier interfaces, test point filters,
and surge protection. UL/CUL approval is pending for installation in
hazardous locations.
