Monitor gases in multi-level car parks
Wireless sensor technology monitors gases in multi-level car parks system
The measurement system consists of a receiver unit and up to eight wireless gas sensors As many as eight receiver units, i.e 64 gas sensors, can be linked to the central analysis system on a local operating network (LON) bus

EasySens - The Progressive Radio Sensor System
Our world is changing rapidly. Building control technique is changing. EasySens make it possible to build up wire-less and maintenance-free sensors within buildings.
EasySens successful in first major projects
EasySens solar-powered, autonomous radio sensors are maintenance-free compared to battery-powered wireless solutions.
Integration of the transmitter unit on the sensor board creates a compact and economical wireless gas sensor.
The power comes from a standard battery with a life- time of three to four years.
Use of solar cells was not possible because of the poor light in such car parks.
Currently available are wireless gas sensors for CO (carbon monoxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxi- de).
These measure the exhaust concentrations of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the ambient air.
The system complies with legal directives in more than 90% of all countries.
Further wireless gas sensors are being developed and are due to be available by the end of 2005.
APPLICATIONS.
The system is primarily aimed at enclosed car parks and satisfies stipulations like VDI 2053 in Germany, Norm in Austria and UL 2075 in the USA.
If specified exhaust concentration limits are exceeded, digital relay outputs in the detection system will activate ventilators, warning lights or horns to protect persons against the toxic fumes.
In addition to car parks, there are applications in cooling systems (NH3) or oxygen monitoring in laboratories or on production lines.
BENEFITS.
Wireless gas sensor technology reduces the elec- trical installation investment in car parks by as much as 80%.
Considering that a gas sensor is needed for every 400 to 500 sqm of an enclosed car park, the potential for savings is obvious.
MSR ELECTRONIC.
MSR Electronic designs and produces gas sensor technology (toxic, combustible, oxygen, refrige- rant) for building automation and semi-industrial applications: Analogue (AT/4 series, 20 mA) Digital (DT/LON bus series) Wireless (RT/868 MHz series).
