Integrated alarm systems and management solutions specialist Drax (UK) Ltd. has launched SiteWatch, a new GSMbased system designed for simple, economical offsite monitoring 24 hours a day. It consists of single or multiple remote transmitter units positioned adjacent to equipment to be monitored, a central receiver unit and a PC equipped with management software, typically at the facilities managers office or service organisation. Remote units (up to 255) are hardwired to the monitored equipments outputs and read signals generated, such as on, off, fire, fault, open, closed, etc. Signals are encoded and a customised data message sent via SMS to the SiteWatch Manager. Activation of these inputs can be preprogrammed to send tailored messages via email or text message, such as immediate action, advise client, schedule for next maintenance visit, allowing for the relevant response.
