CIMTechniques' new "Six Pack" is designed to provide a very cost-effective solution for critical monitoring and data logging requirements in small hospitals, blood banks, clinics, and research facilities. 

"Six-Pack" System

The "Six Pack" will continuously monitor and record the temperature in up to 6 refrigerators or freezers and optionally monitor door ajar contacts on each unit. The system will alert users to alarm or abnormal conditions via a local alarm indicator or e-mail messages. The most recent 3-5 years of measurement data is retained in non-volatile storage for instant access or archiving to a file or files on a computer. Current conditions can be viewed or reports generated at any time from any PC on the facility's local area network using free software provided 


Systems Shipped Ready to Install, Validate, and Run

The Six-Pack system comes pre-configured and ready to run, right out of the box. Installation can be easily accomplished with the instructions included in the package. Essential validation protocols are also provided. CIMTechniques can also provide installation and validation services if desired.

The Six-Pack is built on proven CIMScan monitoring system technology. The first CIMScan system was shipped in 1995 and has been continuously improved ever since.


Completely Secure,
Self-Contained
System

All measurement data, including events logs, audit trails, alarm lists, etc., are maintained internally for a period of from 3 to 5 years, depending on the number of events recorded. None of this information can be altered in any way. Access to view the data or configure the system is under strict ID/Password control. Passwords can be set to automatically expire and unique Public Names and ID/Passwords combinations are enforced over the life of the system. Every externally initiated activity is recorded in an audit trail which can be viewed at any time.

View Real-Time Displays from any PC

Display the current values of any of the monitoring points from any PC on the facility's local area network.  (Of course, this is under password control.)  The following is a screenshot of a typical real-time display.


Alert Key Personnel
through E-Mail

Specific personnel can be immediately alerted to impending or actual problems via e-mail messages. Messages can be triggered by alarm or warning conditions, a door that has been left open for a longer the specified period of time, or any faults detected by the system.

All Necessary
Reports Built-in

Daily, weekly, and monthly status reports containing 1) a chart showing the measurement data with limit lines displayed, 2) statistics (max, min, and average) for each measurement point, 3) a summary of all alarm limit changes, and 4) a list of any alarms that were detected. Ad hoc status reports can also be printed over any user-specified period of time as well as the contents of event logs, audit trails, alarm lists, etc. A complete report of the system configuration can also be printed at any time.


Either Wired or
Wireless Sensors

The Six-Pack monitoring system can either use a range of easy to install wireless sensors or our standard I/O Pods. The wireless sensors are completely battery operated with a typical service life of 3-5 years. Sensors can be located up to 480' feet from the receiver (600' with the PV-02 receiver). A variety of temperature, temp/RH, and door ajar sensors are available.

The standard I/O Pods interface directly with thermistors and RTD's as well as 4-20 ma signal conditioners, and communicate with the Six-Pack controller over a dual twisted pair cable. The Pods are powered from the uninterruptible power supply.
