System Overview

The PST system begins with a powerful battery-powered transmitter and pre-wired sensor. Transmitter range is up to 1200 feet. Each pre-calibrated sensor installs easily, requires very little setup and requires no calibration.

Our receivers each handle up to 150 transmitters. Receivers resend transmissions to a computer with iStatus software. Connection to a receiver may be local through a USB cable or remote over your company's network. A single monitoring computer can manage up to 64 network receivers.

The heart of the PST system is our iStatus software. Simple yet powerful, iStatus checks each data transmissionagainst user-configured alarm thresholds. New alarms trigger e-mail or text notification. iStatus automatically logs data at user-configured intervals in a SQL database. Users can run convenient pre-configured reports to view trends or program their own in the SQL database.

Installation and commissioning

PST sensors easily "bolt on" to existing equipment. Receivers do not require permanent installation but feature convenient mounting tabs. USB receivers are powered from the computer. Network receivers feature Power over Ethernet (POE) capability, making installation a snap. The iStatus software installs easily and includes SQL Express 2008.

Once your equipment is installed, sensors are easily added and configured in the intuitive user interface. Configuration is easy: enter the alarm thresholds and email/text contact information and you are finished. iStatus will notify you when there is a problem.

Industries Served

PST wireless condition monitors were developed for industrial use in many applications:
