Another major limitation with traditional thermal scanning
is that no IR device can 'see through' solid objects,
all they can do is measure the external surface of a
panel, components which are not adjacent to an external
surface can never be measured accurately and some not
at all.
ExerTherm™ is a different form
of IR inspection. Small, low cost, accurate, non-contact,
infrared sensors are permanently fitted where they can
directly monitor key components e.g motors, pumps, drive
bearings, gearboxes, generators, and even inside enclosures
monitoring medium and low voltage switchgear.
They monitor 24/7 and miss nothing.
These sensors which require no external power measure
the target temperature in relation to ambient with the
signal indicating the °C rise on ambient, so avoiding
inaccuracies due to weather conditions, environment
etc.
The sensors feed back signals
to a PC where automatic data logging provides instant
on-screen trend graphs. Two alarm levels per sensor
automatically activate in the event that preset levels
are exceeded, thus identifying problem component and
allowing planned maintenance to be carried out.
The system can be connected
to over 450 building management systems and fitted to
new projects, retro- fitted and easily expanded.
Our Sigma Data card allows for Modbus native communications.
With our optional protocol modules the Sigma module
can be used with all the common protocols with in your
BMS system.
With ExerTherm™ software solutions, we can provide stand
alone monitoring, web enabled OOI solutions, as well
as ethernet connectivity to your server.

New developments include data
transfer via ethernet, internet, cell phone, using GPRS
technology for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
Data can be transferred from various sites to central
monitoring unit even from un-manned locations. See
Telemetry
To complete your electrical
maintenance regime - for inspection of less critical
areas outside switchgear not requiring continuous monitoring
use our hand held scanner. Typical applications: fuses,
MCB's, DIN rails, terminations, switches, contactors,
distribution boards, cables etc.
