Data collector for multiple applications suits all users

The new Entek Enpac 2500 portable condition monitoring data collector and analyser provides a cost-effective condition monitoring tool for the analysis of rotating equipment – giving the potential to identify and correct problems before they impact production and safety

Based on the Windows CE operating system, the Enpac 2500 combines lightweight, easy-to-use features with scalable functionality for use in a range of industries including power generation, pulp and paper, metals, water & wastewater, food & beverage, automotive, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and petrochemical.

“The portable data collector and analyser is a key component of any condition-based maintenance program,” explains Josep Manuel Fernandez, business manager, Integrated Condition Monitoring, Rockwell Automation.

“We are committed to providing customers with advances in technology and integration that provide the best business value.”

The Enpac 2500 contains many user-friendly features that make it ideal for safe and efficient data collection in a variety of industrial environments, these include: its small, rugged, lightweight design; speeds of up to 50% faster; an intuitive icon-driven menu system; and an easy-to-read 1/4 VGA colour display. To cater for harsh environments, it has a Mil 810 spec drop rating, IP65 sealing (dust and water proof) and an operating temperature range from
-10 to 50°C.

With a Large, virtually unlimited memory capacity, the data collector is supported by Rockwell Automation’s industry-leading Emonitor Enterprise software. Advanced functions – such as two-plane balancing and two-channel functionality – make it just as suitable for the experienced analyst as it is for the beginner.

The Enpac 2500 uses Spike Energy and ESP technology for early bearing wear detection and other potential problems related to lubrication and pump cavitation. It also includes a patented internal laser tachometer that allows the user to take speed and phase measurements without additional equipment.
