The OMEGA® iBTHX transmitter let's you monitor and record Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software except a Web Browser.

The OMEGA iBTHX serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings, display charts of barometric pressure, temperature and humidity, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.

The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA Applet that records a chart over the LAN or Internet in real time. With the OMEGA iBTHX, there is no need to invest time and money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data.

Adjustable Charts
Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 125°C, and 0 to 100% RH) or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C). Barometric Pressure can be displayed in hectopascals (hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of Mercury (inHg).

Display and Chart Measurements

The iBTHX transmitters come complete with a barometric pressure, temperature and humidity probe for measurement of a single location. OMEGA offers a choice of industrial probes in 5" lengths and a wand style for ambient indoor applications.
 



Optional Caps available for Wand style and 5" Industrial Probes.
Award-winning Technology
The OMEGA iBTHX is simple to install and use, and features OMEGA's award-winning iServer technology that requires no special software except a Web Browser. The iBTHX connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web Browser and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as "Cleanroom 5" or "Midwest Server Room" in any Web Browser, and the iBTHX serves a Web Page with the current readings.

Email Alarms
In addition to the mechanical alarm relays, all OMEGA iBTHX models that are on a LAN that is connected to the Internet can trigger an alarm that can be sent by email to a user or a distribution list anywhere in the world, including an Internet enabled pager or cell phone.

Typical Applications
The OMEGA iBTHX is great for monitoring temperature + humidity in applications such as: clean rooms, computer rooms, HVAC systems, pharmaceutical and food processing and storage, hospitals, laboratories, semiconductor fabs, electronic assembly, warehousing, museums, manufacturing, greenhouses, farm animal shelters, and many more.

NEW iBTX-SD with SD Flash Memory
and LCD Display

The OMEGA model iBTX-SD with LCD display, adds several valuable features in addition to the backlit local display of barometric ressure and temperature.

SD Flash Memory Card
The iBTX-SD comes complete with a removable 2 GB SD Flash Memory card that can store up to seven years of readings taken at ten second intervals.


Records on SD Flash Cards
The data is recorded on widely available SD (Secure Digital) flash cards. The format is a simple ".txt" text file that is easily imported to spread sheets and other programs. It can be read on a PC or MAC with a USB card reader. You can also download the data remotely over an Ethernet network or the Internet.
       
Alarm Relays
The OMEGA iBTX-SD features two 1.5 Amp relays. With the easy Web-based setup page, the two relays can be programmed for any combination of temperature or pressure, and high or low set points. The relays can also be programmed to remain latched and require a manual reset if a limit is exceeded.

Battery Backup
The iBTX-SD comes with a universal 100 to 240 Vac power adapter. A standard 9 Volt Alkaline battery (also included) allows the device to log data for up to 2 days without external ac power. A failure on the Ethernet network will not interrupt data recording.

Link to Web CAM or IP Camera
If you get a message about an alarm condition, you can quickly click on the link to view the actual scene over the Internet.
