Wired or Wireless: Which is best for your monitoring needs
Wireless systems are usually easier to install and are more flexible, however you may have radio signal issues or you may want to use existing cabling/sensors. AAW can provide systems that use both options. We have supplied the following information to assist you in deciding what the right option is for your business.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
Both system options can be set with a maximum of 120 inputs. There are 64 alarm templates available; locations that are monitored by multiple sensors are able to share 1 alarm template, allowing for easy management of alarm limits in a location with several inputs.
Wireless System
The wireless IT sensors send monitored data to the RIOT-S unit via it’s 433mhz network. Dependent on building materials/layout of site, our wireless IT sensors can transmit data over 500 metres. Mains powered Signal Repeater units can be installed to resolve any issues within poor signal locations.
If required additional RIOT-S units can be installed allowing for further wireless expansion.
Ideal for sites with a number of locations to monitor across a big area
Hardware analytics allows our team to assist with system diagnostics remotely in the first instance
Easy & fast install, with no need for additional wiring
IP68 bags allow IT sensors to be used within wash down areas
Mobile stock can be monitored & spare sensors kept on site for temporary monitoring needs
Replacement hardware can be delivered & installed by site personel, saving on site visit costs for repairs
Wired System
Wired sensors are connected via expansion boards; each of which has 16 inputs. The boards are then housed within a stainless steel ‘Expansion Box’ that can be mounted to the RIOT-S unit (each expansion box can house 2 boards – 32 inputs).
Additional Expansion Boxes can then be installed around site, as per your requirements, connecting back to the RIOT-S unit using wired or wireless data links.
