Small HygroTrac wireless sensors are installed throughout a building to monitor relative humidity, temperature and moisture content. Readings are transmitted to the data acquisition gateway that is connected to a dedicated and secure web server via Ethernet or phone line. Data can be viewed virtually live on the web site as well alarms set that send email warnings to your pc or mobile phone by way of text messages.
A single gateway can receive data from up to 600 sensors that can be installed in a 150 ft to 250 ft area. Data gathered from sensors is easily managed using the secure web site. The web site offers tools to help users automatically compile comprehensive reports and graphs for presentation.
