Construction Monitoring
Construction monitoring covers a wide range of monitoring applications including monitoring for both continuous and transient vibrations. This type of monitoring is usually done to comply with local, state or federal regulations and often requires the monitoring of three ground and one air-overpressure channel. The regulations may also require you to provide an infield printout of the vibration records.
The Instantel® Minimate® and
Blastmate® family of products are very flexible and will meet this wide variety of required vibration monitoring applications. They are easy to configure, set up, operate and all models are capable of downloading events to a PC for backup, analysis and report printing. Our products can monitoring for extended periods of time, remotely monitor with automatic storing of data on your office PC, have a wide dynamic range, can trigger external alarms, have programmable sample rate to increase the frequency response, have flexible record times for both continuous and transient record modes and have zero dead time between events.
Contact your Instantel Dealer for more information and assistance in selecting the monitoring unit and sensors that best meet your monitoring application requirements.
