Remote Sensor Units (RSUs)
temperature alarm and logging system
MSM Enterprise Edition
True continuous logging
MSM temperature alarm and monitoring systems have
been guaranteeing the integrity of valuable product and
samples in health-care and pharmaceutical environments
since 1995. The new Enterprise Edition satisfies a
customer move towards network friendly systems with
devolved departmental responsibility linked to a secure
audit trail.
The Scanner interrogates the RSUs at a rate of 9 channels
per second. The Scanner stores in the data log the worstcase value measured during each logging interval.
The MSM system consists of a Central Scanner monitoring
the data collected by a network of Remote Sensors Units.
Remote Sensors Units are mounted adjacent to the
storage locations they are monitoring, and can be up to
1km from the Scanner.
Central Scanner
The Scanner is the display, alarm, logging and control
station. The large clear display makes it easy to
understand what is happening. Menu selection using five
pushbuttons means that everyone finds the system simple
to use. The Scanner is completely self-contained and
doesn’t rely on a PC for its operation.
When out of limit conditions occur, the Scanner generates
both audible and visual alarms, and tells you exactly
what is happening. No cryptic fault codes or
unrecognisable channel numbers. You define the location
title and the error messages displayed for each alarm type.
Remote Sensor Unit (RSU)
The RSU is a three-channel logger with local audible
alarm and LED status indicators for each channel. Each
channel will also accept two digital alarm inputs.
Temperature versions measure from -200°C to +200°C
using a Pt100 probe to BS EN 60751 (IEC 751), class A.
RSU versions for relative humidity, differential pressure,
oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are available with user
set display units and range. Other parameters are
measured using universal versions that accept voltage or
current inputs.

Ethernet Interface
An Ethernet interface means that anyone on the network
with a valid password can access the system.
Alarms monitored on any PC
Alarms can be continuously monitored or periodically
interrogated on any networked PC. If an alarm occurs,
user entered advisory text appears in a pop-up window so
that staff have the appropriate information to deal with
the situation. The operator’s name and comments are also
recorded when the alarm is cleared.
Audit trail
The time, date, error message and sensor value for each
alarm are recorded in the event log. Anyone can mute an
alarm, but it can’t be ignored. It will re-alarm after a
preset time. If staff with an access key cancel an alarm or
make settings changes at the Scanner, their identity and
details of the actions
are recorded in the
event log.
If the Scanner is
accessed remotely,
either via a modem or
over the network, the
user’s identity and
actions are again
logged.

Built-in alarm management
Passwords and Scanner access keys
The system has 12 independent alarm outputs (zones).
Two different combinations of channel alarms are
allocated to each alarm output. This permits different
day/night settings on each alarm output.
56 passwords and coded access keys mean that every
user can be identified. The system manager
assigns levels of access
permissions for each user
and can restrict which
channel alarms a user is
allowed to reset.
This powerful tool ensures that alarms are directed to the
department/person who owns the problem.
An optional Speech Dialler can be connected to any
alarm output. It stores three user-recorded messages and
calls up to 4 telephone numbers or pagers until it gets a
response.
Easy to use software
Displays of logged data show alarm conditions at a
glance. A 5 level zoom makes it easy to find out what
happened. Data can be exported to other applications for
inclusion in reports.
Upper and lower alarm limits, alarm delays, logging
interval, channel title, sensor name, alarm message text
and operator instructions are independently set for each
sensor.
An alarm analysis function enables you to use the data
you’ve collected to identify and investigate channels that
are causing problems and thus improve performance on
your site.
Clear and concise printouts
You can print graphs of logged data in
colour, showing settings and statistics, in
portrait, landscape or strip chart format.
The event log, tabular data, archive
catalogues, system settings and calibration
status can also be printed.
Security for your valuable data
A back-up battery ensures that your system will continue
to collect data and generate alarms for at least 6 hours
when the mains supply fails.
A foolproof archive procedure ensures no valuable data is
lost, accidentally overwritten or deleted. Data can be
archived locally or to a network drive.
Individual coded access keys, in addition to multi-level
password protection, eliminate unauthorised setting
changes.
The Bus Monitor continuously checks for valid databus
traffic and generates an independent alarm if, for
whatever reason, there is a system failure.
Temporary alarm disable
A range of systems you won’t outgrow
No more spurious alarms during defrost cycles. Alarms
are temporarily disabled, for example, during defrost and
automatically re-enabled when the cycle is completed.
Disable times are individually set for each location, and
temperatures are logged throughout defrost. The user
initiating the temporary disable and the times at which
the alarms are disabled/re-enabled are logged.
MSM systems are ideal for applications which will
expand above 50 points. The 360 point system will
monitor your entire site. It even looks after your satellite
locations using telephone or radio links.
Traceable calibration and validation
The Calibration Pack is NAMAS
certified. PC software guides the
non-technical user
through the calibration
sequence. The
calibration date is
stored within the RSU
and a certificate is printed.
The Alarm Limit Test Unit validates the alarm
settings.
