iStatus Wireless Sensors
iStatus wireless transmitters are designed to work in harsh industrial environments.
The weather tight enclosure is sealed with an O-ring and screw on cover. They come
with powerful magnetic mounts for easy installation and the flanged enclosure can
al
so be permanently mounted with screws. The rugged 900 MHz proprietary wireless
protocol ensures that your data will be received and that other communications will
not be affected. Battery life approaches 2 years for the standard AA batteries.
The screw-on cover does not require tools so battery replacement is simple and easy.
Open field range can be up to 1200 feet, but it is best to design around a 450 foot
range until a site evaluation can be done to optimize receiver placement. Each wireless
transmitter can manage up to 3 sensors. They are pre-configured to your specification
at the factory. Standard cable length for the sensing elements is 36 inches. Custom
lengths are available for a nominal charge.
To build a part number, start with PST- and then add a sensor number for each input.
Example
1:
To order a sensor to measure temperature and current on a motor the part number
would be: PST-T01-AC1
Example 2:
To add a discrete input to watch a pressure switch to the previous example,
just add the sensor element on to the part number. In this case the part number would
be : PST-T01-AC1-D01

PST-T01 Temperature SensorThe PST-T01 temperature sensor measures surface temperature to asses equipment health. A rise from "normal" operating temperature is a good indicator that the equipment needs maintenance. Popular for motor and bearing monitoring, it features an integral mounting lug that attaches quickly with ordinary screws. Range: -40 to 392°F Accuracy: 1% of span |

PST-THD Environmental SensorThe PST-THD environmental sensor measures air temperature, humidity and dewpoint. It monitors conditions inside rooms, server rooms, freezers, refrigerators, warehouses and any environment where air quality can have an impact on safety, reliablity or product quality. Range: -40 to 124°C Accuracy: 1% of span |

|
PST-AC1 Current SensorThe PST-AC1 current sensor measures AC current to detect abnormal loading conditions or audit energy usage. Range: 0 to 150 amps Accuracy: +/- 2% of full scale

Analog SensorsPST analog sensors connect to a wide range of measuring and control sensors. Once done, this sensor information is integrated into the iStatus database. Existing sensors connected to legacy controllers can be monitored and trended with very little wiring. PST-MA1 Range: 4-20 mA Accuracy: .05% full scale
PST-A10 Range: 0 to 11 VDC Accuracy: .05% full scale
PST-A05 Range: 0 to 6 VDC Accuracy: .05% full scale |

Discrete SensorsThe PST-D01 discrete sensor monitors the state, count and frequency of a dry switch contact. The count is the total number of contact closures since the last reset (totalizer). The frequency is measured in Hz and is useful for flow meters and other devices that output a proportional frequency. The state is either open or closed. All discrete sensors can deal with voltages up to 24 VDC. PST-D01 Max Frequency: 400 Hz* The PST-DRC discrete sensor monitors the dwell time, switch rate in changes/hour and total count of switch changes.
PST-DRC Max Frequency: 400 Hz* *The frequency can be increased to 10 kHz. The 400 Hz limitation was added to remove switch bounce |
Vibration Sensor with optional triggerThe PST-V01 vibration sensor measures velocity. Magnetic mounts for the sensor and transmitter make this fully wireless sensor a very effective maintenance tool. Sensor can be triggered to sample at a specific time or sample at timed intervals.
