NEW MONITORS
March 1st 2004

Sensonics has just launched two new monitors; the DN36 Spyder range of machine monitoring and protection equipment and the new SpyderNet plug n play monitor. The DN36 family is line stackable to ensure rapid system integration/installation and minimal wiring needs and can be connected to any Ethernet network to give remote monitoring via standard internet tools. DIN rail mounting to 35mm or G type DIN rails, ensures that monitors can be mounted in panels with other equipment or positioned locally. Suitable for monitoring rotating machinery the complete DN36 series offers dual channel monitoring, providing mix and match measurement options such as vibration, displacement, temperature, speed, eccentricity etc across both channels. Measurement function on all units is set by fitting personality cards, while operators can set measurement range, units, alarm trip points and filter selection by means of the front panel software interface. Two alarm levels per channel are available to drive common relays for the safe tripping of plant; a system integrity alarm is also routed to a separate relay. Able to monitor eight standard ICP type or current mode accelerometers as well as 4-20mA process inputs, the new SpyderNet provides a solution to remote monitoring of vibration or process channels. The unit has an integral webserver for network monitoring and interfaces easily with the rest of the Sensonics DN36 and existing DN2600 monitors.
