J Fine Innovations has successfully upgraded its Titan 12 management and security system panel thanks to the integration of the SIMCOM 900 GSM wireless engine supplied by Otto Wireless Solutions.
The Titan 12 offers a GSM/SMS/GPRS-based solution for industrial monitoring, management and security. Featuring both a 12-zone wireless alarm system as well as 12 configurable wired inputs, it is ideal for managing industrial installations, remote radio and cell towers, and substations. In addition to its inputs, the device also has outputs to facilitate the remote control of air conditioners, generators and other equipment.
The 12-zone wireless alarm system can accommodate up to 24 wireless detectors with alarm, tamper and supervision signals. Each wireless zone or wired input can be configured to operate with the alarm arm/disarm function or remain permanently active. The unit also has four outputs for connection to an armed response radio transmitter. Three relay outputs operate gas discharge (manual or automatic) and internal and external sirens.
Up to six of the wired inputs can be analog inputs, and one of them is especially configured for fuel tanks and connects directly to the fuel level meter. The special fuel tank input will give a reading when the Titan 12 is armed and disarmed to enable monitoring of fuel theft. The remaining analog inputs can be used to monitor battery levels, temperatures and other devices with analog outputs.
The system can be controlled by up to 24 keyring remote controls that can operate the Titan 12 with user identification. An additional 12 users can operate it by means of the password-protected keypad or via SMS. In unmanned or remote sites, the unit can also operate independently by means of pre-programmed timers.
According to inventor Jonathan Fine, “The standard system includes more than enough I/Os for most applications. However, the system can be expanded by means of additional control boards which can be connected via the onboard RS485 and RS232 connections. The SIMCom SIM900 wireless engine has proven to be very reliable in the field, and the unit can be programmed over the air, reducing the maintenance and support effort, and eliminating visits to each site to update the software functionality.”
