MINNEAPOLIS, June 11, 2007 – Honeywell introduced additions to the series of Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM) System detectors developed specifically to monitor industrial equipment. The EHM system is used to monitor operation condition variances in industrial machinery that can lead to breakdowns, increased maintenance costs and production stoppages.The EHM devices, first offered in 2005, monitor the steady state temperature, vibration and other characteristics of equipment. An alarm sounds automatically when operating values drift from pre-defined settings, alerting a maintenance engineer to the condition. Early alert can lead to early responses and efforts to correct the condition before it leads to equipment failure.
Ten detectors are available to monitor the following conditions: temperature loss, fluid flow, temperature rise, mechanical noise, fluid leak, mechanical wear, audible noise, vibration, tilt (slope change) and mechanical insertion.Additions to the series of detectors include accessory and replacement connector pins and cables.Honeywell International is a $33 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.
Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are traded on the New York, London and Chicago Stock Exchanges. It is one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is also a component of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
