HWg-Ares14

Ares 14 is an industrial unit for remote monitoring and alarming over GSM for locations without LAN access. Includes battery backup. Connect up to 14 external sensors and 2 dry contact detectors.

Ares monitors the readings of connected sensors. When a value reaches the alarm threshold, the device sends an e-mail or a text message (SMS), or dials specified numbers. Use the free SensDesk portal to view measured data in a complex dashboard.

Ares products support FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for remote firmware updates.

HWg-Ares 14 is a remote environment monitoring solution which only needs GSM signal coverage. The device contains an internal back-up battery and if an external power supply fails, up to 5 recipients are alerted by e-mail or text message. HWg-Ares 14 can be used also as a simple GSM thermometer. Simply connect external sensors (temperature, 4-20mA, humidity, light and other sensors) or two dry contacts and monitor all probes remotely. Sensor data can be read into HWg-PDMS (free software), connected with a Web portal or passed to a SCADA/NMS system. HWg-Ares is a complete GSM monitoring system – from sensors to MS Excel data export. GPRS traffic is cost-optimized. A unique feature is that you can mix LAN based IP sensors with the GSM/GPRS HWg-Ares devices. There is an available plugin for Nagios – most popular free SNMP monitoring software.
