Overview
CompressorLynx compressor shutdown alarming

CompressorLynx uses the SMS4D discrete alarming device and SMS "store and forward" technology to transmit a compressor shutdown alarm to the eLynx Data Center. Once the alarm is received at the eLynx Data Center (usually within seconds), the eLynx system issues simultaneous email or pager messages to multiple personnel reporting on the location and nature of alarm.

The CompressorLynx / SMS4D utilizes the existing cellular communications 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.

Additional browser-based tools provide our clients with the following data:

• Status (down or normal)
• Last 7 days run time percentage
• Month to date run time percentage
• Real-time alarm notification
• Down hours
• Run hours
• Drill downs that provide you with alarm history duration and device data history
