Sensonics has chosen Maintec 2004 to launch two new monitors: the DN36 Spyder range of machine monitoring and protection equipment and the new SpyderNet plug in and play monitor.

Sensonics has chosen Maintec 2004 to launch two new monitors: the DN36 Spyder range of machine monitoring and protection equipment and the new SpyderNet plug in and play monitor.

Both units can be viewed for the first time on Stand A6.

The complete DN36 family is line stackable to ensure rapid system integration/installation and minimal wiring requirements and can be connected to any Ethernet network to provide remote monitoring via standard Internet tools.

DIN rail mounting to either 35mm or G type DIN rails, ensures that monitors can be mounted in panels with other equipment or positioned locally in a junction box to the machine to be monitored.

Suitable for monitoring many types of rotating machinery, including turbines, motors, pumps and fans etc, 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 factory set by fitting personality cards, and 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.

Units can also be fitted with an optional web server for which no additional software is required.

Capable of monitoring eight standard ICP type or current mode accelerometers as well as 4-20mA process inputs, the new plug-in and play SpyderNet also to be introduced at the show, provides a cost-effective solution to remote monitoring of vibration or process channels.

The compact (123 x 107 x 51mm) unit is fitted with an integral web server for network monitoring and easily interfaces with the rest of the Sensonics DN36 and existing DN2600 monitors.
