Monitor/controller accepts up to 13 inputs

— filed under:

Computronics Corporation Ltd has released a new unit in its Farmscan agproduct series, the Jackal.

Monitor/controller accepts up to 13 inputs

This device however has much more than agricultural appeal. It is a full batch controller as well as having the ability to monitor a number of discrete channels for RPM, temperature, pressure, level or flow.
It would be particularly useful for older non monitored excavators, skid steers, dozers etc, not equipped with performance monitoring. Sensors would need to be fitted to the machine and this device would then read them as required.
The Jackal is equipped with 13 inputs that can be programmed for a host of different monitoring tasks. Alarms can be set for high or low levels, and the output will switch on when an alarm condition occurs, enabling engine shut down or remote indication to be wired.
As a batch meter, say in a quarry, it allows a user to set up a batch function using any suitable flow meter, and run an exact quantity all day every day. The batch function also features in flight compensation enabling the Jackal to compensate for lag in solenoid activation time.
Built using the latest SMD technology the unit is designed for rough environments. It operates on 12 volt DC so it can be used in both mobile and stationary modes with an optional power pack.
