The ARB module (Ellab Monitoring Solutions Ltd Part Number: IN-NA002) is an optional piece of IP53 rated hardware that works with the Notion Pro System (Figure 6 below) and provides users with additional functionality, such as visual and audio alarms, RFID for data backfill and a Bluetooth interface for interacting with handheld devices, not available with other devices.

These convenient, wall mountable, alarm modules can be connected anywhere on the Notion Pro network where alarm information is required. See Figure 5 below:

ARB Modules have been designed specifically to provide users with visible alarm displays via the front OLED display.

From an ARB Module, users can acknowledge alarms and mute buzzer sound alerts via a reset button and cycle through alarm information via the keypad.

The ARB Module can provide alarm triggered outputs on either the Module's internal relays or an RS485 output to associated Hanwell MS1000 System Relay Cards.

Alarms can be programmed from a PC via the ARB Module.

TCP/IP communications capability enables ARB Modules to communicate with each other, via the PC software, for relay activation.

In the unlikely event of gaps in data, the RFID interface and cradle enables quick and accurate data backfill directly from transmitters.

Additional Bluetooth capabilities enable users to interface data directly to the Notion Pro system from TME MM7000 ThermoBarScan hand-held temperature recording devices and download mobile temperature/ barcode readings from them via Bluetooth.

 

ARB Modules are mains powered from the supplied adaptor.

Note: The ARB module does not have battery back-up as it cannot power the network from a battery. If network or power failure notification is required an Notion Pro SMS unit could provide this function.
