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 check analog and digital temperature sensors, humidity, access, vibration, smoke, voltage, leakages, gases, movement, level, pressure and others, as well as can control up to 240 sensors each module and record corresponding values. The PCE-IMS 1 Monitoring System also allows for video surveillance through a 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 a USB cameras), SMS, email or ICQ/AIM if limit values have been exceeded. Sensors and relays can be placed at some kilometers from the monitoring system by using a 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.

Relays / sensor module

This device is used for the surveillance and automation, for example, in remote rooms from the base station . Input for 8 analog 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.

Relays / sensor module with plug

Same version of the relays one / earlier 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 contents User's 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 sensors types: digital and analog 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, analog
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 the use of UTP or STP cables with RJ11 connectors. Both contact sensors and level alarm system operates 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.
