WTMS (Patent applied)

Wireless Trap Monitoring System

The Forbes Marshall Wireless Trap Monitoring System, WTMS (patent applied), is a network for monitoring the health of steam traps at
dispersed locations in a plant. It broadcasts an alarm when there is a steam leak in a trap or when the trap is water logging and not
ejecting condensate. Its handheld communicator helps to configure, download and troubleshoot the network and application data. This
ad hoc self adjusting wireless network of traps avoids cabling to remote trap locations. Its centralized web based graphical interface
reduces operator intervention and makes data available on the internet any time.
