GSM modem used to alarming effect

A Jekyll Electronic Technology product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 4, 2004

The Filtertechnik PC9000 oil monitor now comes fitted with the latest Telemodem2 Mobile low power GSM modem to offer customers a remote oil monitoring capability.

Hydraulic systems, lubrication systems and heavy switchgear rely on clean, contaminant free oil for efficient operation.

As more machines operate round the clock, regular oil checking is imperative for maintaining productivity without incurring costly breakdowns.

Monitoring oil manually is both time consuming and expensive.

Machinery oil replacement normally takes place during a routine service, when signs of inefficiency start to show or if the machine actually breaks down.

In such cases, equipment is normally out of action for long periods, even before the fault is found.

With fewer specialist engineers generally available today, companies are now looking for a more intelligent approach to the problem.

As a leading supplier of industrial monitoring equipment, Filtertechnik has developed a reputation with customers for delivering reliable products with a high quality service.

The PC9000 is one system that monitors hydraulic and lube oils in all manner of machinery from earth excavators to wind turbines.

Now, the PC9000 comes fitted with the latest Telemodem2 Mobile low power GSM modem from Jekyll Electronic Technology to offer customers a remote oil monitoring capability.

The modem is designed to send a text message alarm to a designated mobile phone, pager or palmtop, the moment oil pollution levels exceed a predefined limit during a continuous monitoring process.

This setup means customers have a convenient reliable, remote monitoring capability with instant notification of a problem direct to their mobile phone.

Rather than relying on a routine scheduled appointment, the oil checking is done continuously and without any human intervention.

The alarm setup also alerts managers to problems at the very earliest stages, so the appropriate maintenance action can be taken.
