The MTN/5000 can have up to 12 channels (to be specified when ordering) and
features a 3.5in TFT touchscreen and an easy-to-navigate menu. The user
is able to set data sampling rates (up to 1million/second), input ranges and
resolution and alarm levels, on a channel-by-channel basis or across all
channels.

The system is designed to work with Monitran’s accelerometers and velocity
sensors but can also accommodate most other sensor types including those
for measuring temperature, pressure, displacement and proximity. It can also
accept a voltage or current as input, and raw signals are made available at
BNCs on the front panel.

As standard the MTN/5000 has 12 digital I/O channels which can be used for
multiple alarms or as a communication channel for integration with other
systems. As an optional extra, the system can be fitted with Modbus
TCP/IP, for networking purposes or to enable multiple MTN/5000s to operate
together within a larger monitoring or control system.

Andy Anthony, Managing Director of Monitran, comments: “With the MTN/5000
we’re providing engineers with a versatile tool that can provide a picture of the
health of plant and equipment, raise alarms and indicate when further
investigation may be warranted.”
