AlarmLynx®

Overview

AlarmLynx, utilizing the SMS4D discrete alarming device, is a four-input alarm notification device that uses proven alarm technology to transport remote alarm conditions directly to you on a report-by-exception basis. You can "tune" the device to accept erratic inputs. AlarmLynx is compatible with most alarming requirements. You can interface with the device via the eLynx web site. A customer-specific login allows you to administer the alarm notification lists, as well as examine the alarm history of each activated input.

Principle Of Operation:

The AlarmLynx / SMS4D utilizes the existing cellular infrastructure, in particular GSM technology to transport remote status changes using SMS messaging. Once a status change is detected on one of the four inputs, the device “wakes up”, and the 10 second de-bounce timer begins counting down. If the input does not transition back to its previous state before the timer expires, an alarm message is sent directly to the eLynx data center.

Once the alarm message is received, an automatic process immediately identifies the unit by its embedded ten digit ID number. The entire message is then parsed, and alarm notifications are forwarded to all entries in the customer's notification list for that specific input. The change of status is simultaneously updated to the customer's web. The entire process typically takes less than one minute.

Typical Applications:

Tank level alarm
Valve position
Dehydrator low temp alarm
Intrusion detection
High or low pressure alarms
Loss of commercial power
Low flow alarm
