MI Issue 4

The Spiratec R16C is an automatic steam trap monitor for up to 16

steam traps. Remotely mounted, it continuously scans electronically

up to 16 Spiratec sensors and indicates when steam wastage or

waterlogging occurs at any of the traps being monitored.

A sensor is screwed into each sensor chamber or steam trap and

is connected by wiring to the R16C which is sited at a convenient

point.

When all the steam traps being monitored are working correctly a

single green light will be illuminated. If one or more of the steam

traps is failing, then the corresponding 'fail' lights (of which there are

thirty two) are illuminated and the green light is extinguished.

Available types

R16C steam trap monitor is available as standard for use with

The R16C, which operates continuously, will indicate that either all

the traps are operating correctly, or that there is a failure of any

particular identified trap or traps. The unit can be interfaced with

most computer controlled Building Management Systems, through

a pair of volt free contacts, which will open on trap failure.
