TimeLog

TimeLog

Combined hour and alarm transmitter

• Timelog facilitates reading of hour meters and control of machines, wherever they may be.

Datacom's TimeLog is a GSM based hour meter which facilitates remote reading of operating hours on various machines. The unit can also call for maintenance according to a set service interval.

TimeLog is also equipped with alarm inputs. When triggered the inputs generate alarm messages which can be defined by the user.

Alarm via SMS

TimeLog communicates through text messages, which can be sent to a mobile phone or a service computer. The information can be relayed by the service computer to the parties concerned via email, SMS, Fax, txt files etc.

Broad Supply Voltage Range

Time Log can be run on supply voltages from 9-28V DC
(29-80V DC is an extra option)

Hour Meter

The unit is equipped with 2 inputs which can trigger the hour meter. The accumulated time is stored in a nonvolatile memory.

Upon installation, the TimeLog's can be synchronised with the machines existing operation hour meter.

3 Alarm Inputs

The TimeLog also has three alarm inputs which can be connected to various sensors. Alarms can be sent for e.g. low oil pressure, high water temperature, etc.

Both N/C and N/O sensors may be used.

2 Relay Outputs

The units two relay outputs are remotely controlled via SMS. This could be to activate or switch off different equipment on the machine.

Reading The Hour Meter

The hour meter is read by SMS or e-mail; information about accumulated operating hours, service interval and remaining time to service is returned as an SMS to a mobile phone or a service computer.

Service Interval

The service interval settings can be sent to the unit via SMS. When the interval is reached, the unit calls for maintenance by sending a message to a mobile phone or a service computer. After the maintenance, the service interval meter can be reset.

PC - Programme

A specifically developed PC software is available for easy administration of machine objects. The programme handles and forwards the alarms to the appropriate recipients. the units are stored in the system with accompanying information about the objects.

The programme can automatically read the hour meter according to a set interval. The system is also able to generate files with machine object numbers and current operation time, to be used as a basis for invoicing.

Alarms may be forwarded to the chosen recipients via SMS, email, fax, txt file, web etc.

Configuration

The unit can either be configured previous to installation, or when installed on the machine. The settings are easily made with the accompanying PC-Programme TimeLog Config Tool. Most setting can be made remotely via SMS.
