WIRELESS
REPORTING METER TRACKS ACTUAL “RUN HOURS”
An onboard, electronic device that measures the actual
“run hours” of virtually unlimited types of
equipment (ex.: engines, motors, hydraulic pumps, compressors, etc.) is
being introduced by Shockwatch®. The
RF Hourmeter sends runtime information via wireless network (802.11 b or g ) to
either local or remote computers running the companion management, Java-based
software (supports client, server or internet capabilities).
The
Shockswitch® RF Hourmeter can monitor three independent inputs such as
keyswitch, drive motor, and hydraulic motor. Its alert capabilities tell of
maintenance needs due: (ex: oil change, trans service, tire service) and an
instant alert capability can activate message delivery process via e-mail.
The device is equipped with LED operating status indicators – power
on/off, active input, RF (solid)
connected to local wireless network, Flashing (not connected), CON (connection
established to RF Hourmeter Software).
The
new RF Hourmeter from Shockwatch® may be applied on any vehicle or machine
(stationary or moving). The wireless reporting capability reduces maintenance
costs due to less manpower retrieving information from scattered pieces of
equipment, as well as more accurate preventive maintenance. Examples of suitable
applications include: forklift trucks, cranes, earthmoving equipment, air
compressors, sawmills, welding machines, portable lighting equipment, RV’s,
boats - even taxicabs. Ideal for rental companies that want to calculate rental
charges, or public utilities, municipalities, contractors, commercial farmers
and other organizations that would like to schedule maintenance, based on actual
operating hours rather than the calendar.
