PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System
Monitoring system with large 5-digit display / additional clamping screw /
a high quality wooden carrying case is delivered

The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System is the cheapest solution for monitoring and surveillance as well as for quick, easy and safe domestic automation. The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System can also be used in the industrial sector. The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System can detect analogue and digital temperature sensors, humidity, access, vibration, smoke, voltage, leakages, gases, movement, level, pressure and others, as well as it can control up to 240 sensors per module and record corresponding values. The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System also allows video surveillance through USB or IP camera. All sensors are automatically detected. With the PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System it is very easy to perform a logic programming that sends messages or images (from USB cameras), SMS, email or ICQ/AIM if limit values are exceeded. Sensors and relays can be placed at some kilometers from the monitoring system by using an intermediate station. The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System can also be connected to switches and relays for a domestic automation to check if digital inputs have enough voltage to make the device react. Here you will find an overview of monitoring systems.

Using the software, which is installed in the PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System, you can perform any configuration in your PC through a web browser, such as connect relays or switches both manually or automatically and also monitor with a camera the diverse sensors.

Contact module

This module has a contact strip
This contact strip allows the user to assess and monitor switches and other On/Off conditions to which the PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System can react according to preliminary indications:
Weight: 0.4 kg, Dimensions: 145 x 30 x 62 mm. Delivery content: User manual, technical information, UTP Patch cable (1 m), 4 pins with terminal strips TBW-5-6P and 4 shelf-adhesive rubber feet.

Relays/sensor module

This device is used for the surveillance and automation, for example, in remote rooms from the base station . Input for 8 analogue sensors, 10 digital sensors or a card reader/iButton reading head. Additionally, the module has 4 x 3-point relays with a maximum switching power of 10 A – 250 V AC/30 V DC.
Weight: 0.6 kg, Dimensions: 145 x 30 x 90 mm. Delivery content: User manual, technical information, UTP Patch cable (1 m), 4 pins with terminal strips TBW-5-6P and 4 shelf-adhesive rubber feet.

Relays/sensor module with plug

Same design as the foregoing relay/sensor module however this version has sockets for cables at the  rear side instead of relays like in the previous one. By means of these outputs the automation system can react to programmed events.
Weight: 0.6 kg, Dimensions: 145 × 30 × 90 mm Delivery content: User manual, technical sheet, UTP Patch cable (1 m), 4 pins with terminal strips TBW-5-6P and 4 shelf-adhesive rubber feet.

GSM Module

The GSM module allows the user to send SMS even if the Internet connection fails. It is connected to the base unit of the PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System.

Sensors
The wide range of sensors includes, apart from temperature and humidity sensors, voltage, flooding and sensors to measure other parameters. There are different sensor types: digital and analogue sensors. They differ from each other by the type of connection and cable length. For example, in a digital input up to 6 different sensors can be connected. You will find more information regarding sensors at the top of the image in the corresponding sensor category. We are currently developing wireless sensors for the PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System which will be available soon.

Sensors, analogue
The maximum distance between analog sensors (except for contact sensors and level alarm systems) and the base station or any expansion module is from 30 to 50 m and will depend on the cable type. To get the maximum extension we recommend to use UTP or STP cables with RJ11 connectors. Both contact sensors and level alarm system operate even a few kilometers away. Using additional expansion modules, it is possible to add more sensors (max. 240).

Temperature sensor

Indoor temperature sensor for the sensor system with a temperature range from -40 to +100ºC. Dimensions: 60 x 18 x 18 mm, Weight: 50 g. Delivery contents: Sensor, 2 m connection cable, clamping screw, double-sided tape.
