Ethernet-based energy monitoring system

OneTemp has released the Hobo U30-ETH Remote Monitoring System, an industrial-grade energy monitoring system that provides real-time, remote access to energy and environmental data over any ethernet network.

The system allows users to easily implement facility-wide, networked monitoring solutions for tracking energy usage, HVAC/R systems performance, and green building efficiency. It is easy to use, simply plug in sensors of choice, connect an ethernet cable and remotely access and manage Hobo U30 systems distributed throughout a facility. This, in turn, enables users to optimise data collection efficiency while generating long-term, facility-wide energy profiles.

Key system features include: alarm capabilities - the system enables users to set up alarm conditions for any connected sensors and receive automatic notification via email or mobile phone text messages when monitored conditions exceed user-defined limits; and industrial-grade dependability - the system features a NEMA 6-rated, double weatherproof enclosure which is suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. This is an advantage, for example, in applications where rooftop HVAC or other outdoor systems need to be monitored. Another feature is a full suite of sensors. Users have access to a wide selection of sensors for measuring a range of parameters including temperature, relative humidity, kW, kWh, AC voltage, AC amps, DC amps, gauge and differential pressure, CO₂ and more.

To view and analyse data, the Hobolink web-enabled software platform allows users to access current and historical data, set alarm notifications and relay activations, and manage and control HOBO U30-ETH systems from their desktop.
