February 2, 2010 - Net Safety Monitoring added HART to its line of intelligent flame detectors. Data is quickly and easily communicated between the detectors and practically any compatible host system. A host can be any software application, from a technician's hand-held device or laptop to a plant's process control, asset management, or safety system platform. In addition to the inherent instrument alarm function, the HART protocol permits remote access to the configuration, diagnostics, as well as maintenance and alarm records of any networked Net Safety flame detector. Field operators can accurately assess device conditions and prepare for routines before traveling into the field.
One of the unique features of the Net Safety HART solution is an easily accessible separated input option. Most flame detectors installed in the field are mounted close to ceilings in order to effectively monitor hazardous areas. The separated input option gives field-operators a direct, ground-level input to Net Safety flame detectors using any remote HART host device, such as a hand-held communicator or laptop.
