DataNab, a provider of low cost IP enabled solutions for residential and commercial systems, is enhancing its range of 1-Wire temperature sensors and is focusing on OEM manufacturers, business, end users, and systems integrators who need economical embedded monitoring or control solutions in temperature related applications such as refrigeration and HVAC, geothermal, solar and other alternative energy systems that make use of multiple temperature sensors.
These new sensors include a unique flush-mount room temperature design which could be hidden within walls, a tiny stainless steel probe design which could be attached to pipes and an extremely low cost inline potted design. Eventually, these sensors would help customers to reduce costs by making use of low cost controllers and also simplify the method of deploying the sensors across a network infrastructure. Its built-in addressable chips support communication to a central controller across a single cable network, and reduce costs related to materials and labor. When compared to legacy solutions which require a home run cable to the controller from each sensor, this solution gives a much more efficient alternative, as multiple wires and A/D input connections are eliminated.
According to Adam VanOort, President of DataNab, many small businesses offer inexpensive systems for monitoring and controlling geothermal, solar and other green energy systems. DataNab’s 1-Wire technology would help these small businesses to provide affordable systems for modern temperature control applications. The company has recently introduced three new temperature sensors in the market, namely the Inline Potted Digital Temperature Sensor, the Stainless Steel Digital Temperature Probe and the Flush Mount Room Temperature Sensor. They are also planning to release two new designs by the fourth quarter of 2011 by merging stainless steel probe designs with long jacketed cables for general temperature measurement applications.
