ARA-Pro Next

ARA-Pro Next is an alarm bank system for monitoring multiple technical installations with clear alarm handling for large numbers of alarms with a duty schedule for service people. ARA-Pro Next is used in areas where one single alarm sensor is no longer sufficient. The call methods are voice messages, app alerts with high attention levels, SMS and paging (via SOAP and API).

The benefits

  1. Integration of external process computers (feed and climate computers, SCADA systems): detailed alerts directly from your technical systems through network-controlled alarms (via Octalarm Link)
  2. Linking with the Dupline I/O system (up to 25 modules) so that large quantities of alarm contacts can be connected
  3. Alarm handling via service staff duty schedule
  4. Status and alarms directly on your smartphone
  5. Second network interface for separate technical network
  6. Monitor technical systems with watchdog monitoring
  7. Automated configuration of locations and alarms
  8. Grouping of alarms into categories
  9. Easy configuration of call lists via alarm categories

Note

For existing users, the time to switch to ARA-Pro Next depends on the current set-up and the completion of replacement functionality for that set-up.

IP messaging via a corporate network using the ARA-Pro Version 5 method is no longer supported with ARA-Pro Next.

Extension in a later version

  1. Receipt of alarm messages from Octalarm-Touch and Octalarm-Touch Pro alarm diallers at remote locations
  2. Increase number of links to the Dupline I/O system (> 25 modules) so that large numbers of alarm contacts can be connected
  3. Possible Priva Operator coupling (still requires engineering at Priva)

More functions will become available step by step. The development sequence and priority is not yet known exactly. You will understand that we are also dependent on the suppliers of the climate computers for the links. They too will have to do some work to make the new link.

From Octalarm-Touch Pro to ARA-Pro Next system

Every existing Octalarm-Touch Pro can be converted to an ARA-Touch Pro with an extra licence, so it can function within the ARA-Pro Next system. Please contact our sales department for more information.

Note

The ARA-Touch Pro (the dialler of the ARA-Pro Next system) has 8 contact inputs and is NOT expandable to more contact inputs (via the EM-8001). Among other things, ARA is specially designed for interfacing Dupline I/O modules.
