Spiratec R16C Automatic Steam Trap Monitor
Description The Spiratec R16C is an automatic steam trap monitor for up to 16 steam traps. Remotely mounted, it continuously scans electronically up to 16 Spiratec sensors and indicates when steam wastage or waterlogging occurs at any of the traps being monitored. A sensor is screwed into each sensor chamber or steam trap and is connected by wiring to the R16C which is sited at a convenient point. When all the steam traps being monitored are working correctly a single green light will be illuminated. If one or more of the steam traps is failing, then the corresponding 'fail' lights (of which there are thirty two) are illuminated and the green light is extinguished. The R16C, which operates continuously, will indicate that either all the traps are operating correctly, or that there is a failure of any particular identified trap or traps. The unit can be interfaced with most computer controlled Building Management Systems, through a pair of volt free contacts, which will open on trap failure. Available types R16C steam trap monitor is available as standard for use with low voltage supplies at 24 Vac. The monitor is supplied for wall or panel mounting.
