Product name: | MERMAID DATALOGGER | ||||
| Item number: | MLMMD | |||||
| Description : | This datalogger monitors, records and help troubleshoot multiple motors at the same time. Perfect for wastewater lift stations. | |||||
Overview
The Mermaid electrical datalogger is a very small AC and battery powered datalogger able to monitor 3 phases for 3 motors plus 4 digital inputs and one analog input. It reads every input 10 times per second. A reading is recorded only when its value has changed. This way, for most lift stations, it is possible to record near one month of data before the newest rools over the oldest. Each motor input can be used to record frequency and current or voltage.
This device is perfect for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting electrical equipment. It could tell which motor, pump or equipment will probably fail next. It can find intermittent problems in minutes instead of hours or days, without replacing parts! Do not stop production if you do not have to.
Small, this datalogger can be hidden in the electrical panel and work several weeks on 2 C batteries.
