Omniport 40: Up to 50 % time savings in the maintenance of ventilation systems

Omniport 40 Multifunctional Hand-held Meter: connection of multiple probes

The Omniport 40, the latest hand-held measuring device from E+E Elektronik, offers a wide range of measurement options. A large selection of hand-held and process sensors enables the recording of various measured variables such as temperature, humidity, flow, dew point, moisture in oil or CO2 - precisely and on site with just a single device. This means that maintenance and optimisation work on corresponding systems, such as ventilation systems, can be initiated more precisely and thus carried out in a much more time-saving manner.  

Measuring CO2, humidity and temperature is particularly important in office buildings in order to make the working environment as pleasant as possible for employees. Excessive COlevels, for example, can significantly reduce concentration and motivation. For this reason, modern building construction is increasingly focussing on controlled room ventilation, whereby temperature, humidity and CO2 are continuously measured and the required air flow is regulated accordingly.

Record several measured variables simultaneously and save time

To adjust ventilation systems and check the air quality during operation, selective control measurements are carried out at the workplace in addition to the permanent control in the process. Mobile hand-held measuring devices such as the Omniport 40 are best suited for this, as several measured variables can be recorded simultaneously by connecting two sensors. This enables time savings of up to 50 %.  

The Omniport40 automatically recognises the connected sensors and displays the measured values. Various measured value views are available to the user:

  • 3-Line for a compact overview of the most relevant measured values
  • Diagram view for the historical course of a measured value
  • Statistical display with the minimum, maximum and average values since the start

All measured variables supported by the sensor can be displayed. It is possible to customise the view and configure it according to requirements. For example, the most important measured variables can be displayed in priority and parameters that are not required can be hidden.

Measurement data management with various modes

Measurement data management can vary depending on the application. The Omniport40 offers various modes for this purpose: 

  • In data logging mode, up to 1 million data records can be stored in the Omniport40's memory.
  • Data collecting is ideal for recording measured values at several locations. For this purpose, the locations can be given descriptive names such as Office 1, Office 2 or Laboratory using the product configuration software. Up to 20 locations can be created in advance. This makes it easier to allocate the measurements for subsequent analyses.

Measurement procedure

If the system is started in Office 1, the required sensors are connected and the Omniport40 is started. The HTP201H and EE872, for example, are suitable for measuring humidity, temperature and CO2 in offices. The sensors are placed in a suitable location and after the stabilisation time, the current measured values can be saved under Data Collecting in Office 1. The next location is the laboratory. Humidity, temperature and air velocity are required here. The HTP201H and AVP201H sensors can be connected for this purpose and these measured values can also be saved under the predefined Laboratory location.  A digital EE072 is already permanently installed in Office 2 for permanent temperature monitoring. The measured values of this sensor can also be read out with the Omniport40, taking into account the correct Modbus parameters. To do this, the sensor is connected and the measured values are saved again in the Data Collecting menu item under Office 2.

Simplified post-processing and evaluation of measurement results

Once all measurements have been completed, the Omniport 40 is connected to the PC via USB-C. The product configuration software makes it possible to import all values from the data collecting mode. The data can be filtered and exported to a .csv file for further use. This procedure saves an enormous amount of time during the measurement, as several sensors can be connected at the same time. Post-processing is also simplified by filtering and exporting only the required measured values.
