ROCHESTER, NY, U.S.A.-AMETEK Power Instruments-a recognized leader in process control room instrumentation-has received CE Certification for its new AN-3100D Annunciator. Successfully launched in 2004 in North America, the new AN-3100D has users rethinking their alarm management strategy.

The highly versatile AN-3100D performs many new functions, consolidating the amount of control room equipment previously required. In addition to standard visual alarm display functions, the AN-3100D timestamps alarms to determine the sequence of events, identifying the order in which alarms occur to establish the cause of a failure.

Adding to its versatility, the AN-3100D is easily configured through a software tool that places access to all features and functions a mouse click away. The system is completely upgradeable, and system capacity can be expanded if needed.

Using super bright long life LED’s for visual indication of all alarms, the AN-3100D is practically maintenance free. The system performs many self diagnostics such as Serial/Ethernet communication status, lamp failure detect, ground fault detection in external wiring and overall system status. The AN-3100D provides reliable worry-free operation, making it the perfect choice for the power generation, transmission, distribution, petroleum, petrochemical and other process industries.

The AN-3100D is backed by AMETEK’s more than 50 years of experience in process control room annunciators and displays. AMETEK has long been recognized as the power and process industry leader with the most comprehensive line of annunciators, event monitors, and graphic displays.
