A picture of health

Monitran has launched a robust microcontroller-based condition monitoring system.
The MTN/5000-16 contains up to 16 Monitran g-mac signal conditioning units. It has a 2.8in TFT touchscreen with easy-to-navigate menu that enables users to set data sampling periods, ranges and accuracy levels plus vibration threshold (alarm) levels on a channel-by-channel basis or across all channels. The system has 20 digital I/O channels, enabling it to be integrated with other systems. Andy Anthony, MD, says: “The MTN/5000-16 is a versatile system that can be used at the heart of a plant/machine protection scenario or as the monitoring system within a condition-based predictive maintenance strategy.”

Each g-mac unit within the MTN/ 5000-16 can accept any standard twowire accelerometer; data can be viewed and interpreted as acceleration or velocity. The g-macs can also be used with other transducer types and the MTN/5000- 16's software can, upon request, be written to display virtually any parameter. Systems are made-toorder; customers can specify number of channels, condition to be monitored by each channel, level of control, and power source.
