General Description

The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm is a complete temperature monitor and alarm system with integrated autodialer.

The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm monitors up to four (4) K-type thermocouple temperature sensors, one (1) dry contact alarm input, and power.

The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm has programmable high and low temperature limits and an alarm time delay for each sensor. An identification message can be recorded for each sensor, indicating where the sensor is located to allow a quick response to a problem. The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm has numerous options that allow it to be configured for any application.

The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm can monitor any switch, relay, or dry contact with its dedicated dry contact input. A time delay can be programmed, enabling a contact to be closed a maximum amount of time before the buzzer is activated and the Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm begins its alarm procedures.

The Four Zone Temperature Monitor and Alarm will turn on the alarm relay and buzzer and begin making emergency notification calls when the temperature of any sensor is out of limits for greater than the alarm time delay or if the dry contact input is active.

The Ethernet Data Collection Package version (VM520-DCP) allows you to collect data across your LAN and store readings on PC. Also, alert emails can be sent out to alert staff to temperature issues. A built-in web server allows you to use a simple web browser to check the temperatures by entering the IP address of the device into a web browser.
