Smart proportioners: Remote maintenance reduces downtimes

To guarantee faultless operation of a fire extinguishing system, regular maintenance also to the proportioners is a must. ‘Smart Proportioners’ optimize maintenance processes, allow remote troubleshooting and reduce costs.

• Reduce downtimes

Verifying the functionality of foam extinguishing systems requires checking the proportioning rate of proportioners at given intervals. However, the procedure practised until now, in written notes and calculations, can be susceptible to errors. A monitoring system for proportioners will exclude various error sources, including human error in proportioning rate testing. It guarantees correct verification and logging of the proportioning rate and supports the system owner in terms of maintenance date monitoring. Likewise, the system improves the possibilities of remote diagnostics and contributes to reducing the service costs.
