ISACC COMBINES MONITORING,
COMMUNICATIONS AND CONTROL

MONITORS VIA 16 DIGITAL OR ANALOG IN­PUTS

Unlike other systems, ISACC lets you select a
digital or analog sensor for each of the 16
inputs. You can program ranges to suit your
specific monitoring requirements. Digital
functions include open/close dry contact input
and/or pulse counting. Analog can be read as
a percentage, or via a user-defined lookup
table.

CAPABILITIES INTO A SINGLE
SOPHISTICATED SYSTEM.

IF YOU CAN’T BE THERE, ISACC TAKES
CORRECTIVE ACTION AUTOMATICALLY.

ISACC can turn on or turn off your equipment;
it can control heating and cooling; it can set
temperatures and control process valves.
With ISACC’s extensive programming capa­bilities, and digital and analog inputs and
outputs, you achieve the flexibility of a custom
designed system without the high cost.
ISACC may be the most versatile and complete
way available today to protect your equipment,
your processes, and your entire facility.

ALERTS YOU 4 DIFFERENT WAYS

When problems occur, ISACC automatically
dials up to 8 phone numbers to alert key
personnel. Each number can be dialed inde­pendently in voice or data mode. ISACC keeps
calling the numbers in sequence until it re­ceives verification that an authorized person
has been reached.

Local alarm:

immediate action from onsite personnel.

Voice dial-out:

voice-synthesized English. Even leaves mes­sages on an answering machine.

Data mode:

nel at their computers through standard tele-

An acoustic alarm prompts

Delivers alert messages in

The system contacts key person-

phone lines. Alert messages pop up onscreen.

Pager:

ISACC even dials directly to a pager

and identifies itself.

CONTROLS VIA 8 DIGITAL AND 4 ANALOG
OUTPUTS

ISACC’s twelve outputs maintain
control for you: Eight user-defined digital out-
puts provide on/off control of the conditions
you’ve chosen. Four analog outputs provide
proportional control for your analog equip­ment. You can adjust controls right from your
PC.
All inputs and outputs are protected against
over-voltage as well as reverse voltage.

BUILT-IN DATA LOGGER

ISACC’s data logging function allows you to
log activity such as trends, usage and other
factors. 512 events can be stored internally
and retrieved by modem or via the local
RS232 port. All data is stored in the system’s
non-volatile memory, protecting data even
during loss of both AC and battery power.
Time is kept by an on-board real-time clock
with its own battery backup.

HOW ISACC WORKS

ISACC monitors and automatically reacts to sensitive conditions affecting your building environment,

your security, your process equipment, your computer and your communications.

PROGRAMMING YOUR ISACC

You can program ISACC remotely, from
any PC, with its user-friendly software.
Two levels of programming are available. The
first is a simple point-and-click setup to
define the parameters for the monitoring and
alarming features. For advanced decision­making, ISACC has a built-in C language
interpreter, allowing the system to schedule
actions on a variety of input factors entered
directly from a C program. (For example,
temperature control may be based on indoor
and outdoor temperatures, along with rate of
temperature change.)
You can copy programming from one unit to
another, upload and download C-programs.
There’s even a feature that lets you view
selected input values as a graph in real time.
