AVTECH Software Frequently Asked Questions
AVTECH Software is a privately owned US based company who have been in existence since 1988, specialising in environment monitoring hardware and software. Their customer base includes wide use throughout US government and Military establishments. Their range of environment and temperature monitors offer robust value for money solutions. AVTECH Product Range
Yes the AVTECH monitors are supplied with 12 months maintenance and support. This is renewable after that date for a small charge.
It is not possible to connect a GSM modem directly to the RoomAlert. However this is possible with the AKCP SecurityProbe 5E device. We recommend the Teltonika G10 modem or the Samba 75.
The PS1 Power Sensor is actually a power presence sensor rather than a sensor which measures voltage/power output. It is a switch sensor that is normally in a closed state and will change state and therefore alert or change status, to loss or disruption of power for instance. The AVTECH PS2 Power Sensor alternatively shows real-time monitoring of amps, voltage and watts which you will find here I will email you the application note for the PS2 Power Monitor shortly.
The air flow monitor is only designed to work with the AVTech Software environment monitor units, as such AVTech Software don't release the technical specifications for their probes.
With the AVTECH Room Alert 11ER, SMS alerting is possible using an email to SMS service, using SMTP relay/SNMP traps to integrate to an email to SMS application or using a mobile device that can accept SMS. The only device which will do email server independant SMS directly is the securityProbe5E with the addition of a GSM modem.
You do not need Intellipool to monitor. The Room Alert has an in-built web server and is supplied with Device manager software for setting up thresholds, graphs, logs and alerts.
More than one recipient can be alerted by email or email to text service simply by inputting email addresses separated by commas. The device will also do SNMP traps.
Alerts and thresholds are set up for each probe individually so high/low thresholds can be set for digital sensors and open/closed for switch sensors. Alerts are then triggered on individual sensor thresholds being breached and sent per sensor with relevant information. . It would be possible to set and alert on multiple thresholds on the same sensor but you would need to integrate with alternative software that could do this.
The 4ER Room Alert has one internal temperature sensor, plus 3 external ports. Two of these external ports are digital and one is a switch port. Therefore you can put the digital temperature sensor supplied into one of the external digital ports and have one digital port free and one switch port free.
The AVTECH Room Alert 4ER is only compatible with all AVTECH probes, not those from other manufacturers. There are a wide variety of AVTECH probes available including temperature/humidity at the bottom of the Room Alert 4ER page at this link Room Alert 4ER.
The dry contacts on the AVTECH 24E are for relaying sensor information back to the 24E unit. There are a couple of alternatives however that you may consider. If you have a requirement to integrate an environment monitor with for example, a building management system or other device you may consider the AKCP securityProbe5E which will support a wide range of protocols as well as relay out sensors. Alternatively, if you require just an audible/visual alarm, then you can add the Room Alert Signal Tower Combo.
Yes. You can send SMS alerts using two methods:
- Use an email to SMS service that converts emails to SMS messages; or
- Use the bundled Device ManageR software and purchase a SMS modem and the alert add-on.
Option 1 is by far the cheapest and easiest option requiring no software or hardware purchases though it does require the purchase of credits from a service provider like AQL. The downside is that it requires an internet connection because it relies on using email.
Option 2 by contrast is an out of band solution. In other words it does not require an internet connection. It is however a more expensive option because it requires the purchase of a SMS modem.
