The MultiProtector app now makes monitoring, evaluating and protecting your pump even easier and more efficient. The app offers the following functions: - Read data directly from the MultiProtector device. This gives you access to the fault memory/counter, allows you to assess the current status of the pump and view the operating data. - Create a report in PDF format in no time and forward it directly to your customers if needed or use it for your own documentation. Additional functions (does not require a gateway): - Retrieve the data sheets for the installed NETSZCH MultiProtector, so that they are available quickly and paperless during maintenance and repair work in the plant. - Analyze the status of the pump via the LED blink code, set the blink code and get the current error displayed directly

HVAC and other rotating equipment often emit vibratory forces that can often be used to diagnose machinery health. This information can be used to create a maintenance plan to avoid premature failure and downtime. The WVS-1000 data acquisition device (DAQ) connects wirelessly to smart devices with Apple® iOS® 10.3 operating system and above. Using the Johnson Controls® Vibration Diagnostics Service mobile app, the user can collect vibration data that uses a tri-axial vibration sensor and expedites the data collection process. The data is then uploaded from the smart device to the cloud. The data is analyzed by certified vibration analysts and a customer report is generated and sent via email.
