Continuously monitor industrial equipment with this device
By providing continuous, remote thermal monitoring of electrical panels and other components, the K6PM Thermal Condition Monitoring Device (photo) lowers the time and cost required for critical equipment inspections and minimizes the risk of unplanned shutdowns. Device failures have various causes, most of which lead to overheating and subsequent insulator breakdown. Using the K6PM, users can know that their equipment is being monitored on a continuous basis for any abnormalities resulting from overload, vibration, condensation or other causes. Automated data collection and analysis enables even inexperienced personnel to recognize a potential device failure early on and take action to prevent serious problems. — Omron Automation, Hoffman Estates, Ill.
