Wireless Digit Reader
Non-invasively read mechanical odometers and/or LED/LCD numeric indicators and wirelessly transmit the data to a PC, data acquisition or automation system
Digital displays which show total hours, pressure, temperature and other process indicators are found in virtually every facility monitoring critical instrumentation. In older buildings, local displays may be the only instrumentation available, and technicians are required to perform regular “rounds” with clipboard and pencil to log readings. It is a time consuming and error prone process.
Replacing these odometers or displays with electronic transducers or transmitters have been disruptive – requiring process shutdown, leak checks, drawings changes, and installation of cabling. A single transducer point can cost $4,000 to $6,000 installed.
Cypress Envirosystems’ Wireless Digit Reader is a non-invasive device which simply clips-on to the front face of an existing digital display to capture and transmit the reading. It installs in minutes and does not require removal of the existing equipment, breaking pressure seals, performing leak checks, running wires or interrupting the underlying process. It costs 70% less to install than a traditional transducer.
