Smart Monster, by The Hose Monster Company, is bringing flow testing into the digital age. That means no more manual conversions or human error. The Smart Monsters replaces your analog gauge and flow charts and displays live pressure readings and flow rates on your smart phone or tablet. Waterproof and just as durable as other Hose Monster equipment, Smart Monster is the future of flow testing. The Smart Monster 2.0 app will automatically connect to nearby Kraken Smart Monsters pressure transducers through Bluetooth signals. When you need to take your readings further than the Bluetooth signal range, the Arcus Range Extenders are easy to deploy and allow readings from distances several hundred feet away*. With additional Arcus Range Extenders, each signal can be repeated for even greater distance. Smart Monster 2.0 has many new added features: Live Total Flow: The live total flow function can combine all flow lines, allowing the inspector to know exactly how many gallons per minute are flowing. Record Flow Data: You can record the test and have the flow data exported to an excel spreadsheet. The total amount of water flown during the test will display upon completion. The Tool Box Tab allows for the storage of spare Krakens so that only the Krakens being deployed will show on the screen. Smart Monster Equipment (Sold Separately) is required for this application. *The signal distance will vary depending on the environment. Certain machinery at a location may cause radio interference, limiting the signal to Bluetooth range. Learn more and order Smart Monster here: https://hosemonster.com/smart-monster/
