1.3. HACCP Compliant Data Logger and the PC Communication Protocol and Software
American Panel Corporation understands the benefits and the importance of a complete HACCP system. That is
why we designed WIMS 200 to incorporate a complete Critical Temperature Control Points monitoring system.
WIMS 200 records the temperature inside the walk-in at preset time intervals. Also, it records the occurrence of
critical events such as air alarms, panic alarms, and power failures together with the date and time of the
occurrence. When needed, this data can be viewed and printed from a computer via the communication protocol
or the provided SD card and USB adapter. The HACCP system is backed-up by a self-rechargeable battery
system and a real time clock.
In the event of a power failure, WIMS 200 will display a power failure message that alternates with the common
readings (air temperature and time). It will continue to record the events until the battery is depleted,
approximately four more hours.
The PC connection interface was designed to allow the user to monitor and control the WIMS 200 from the
convenience of the office computer. The software’s interface emulates the control panel.
1.4. Electronically Controlled Light Switch and Automatic Light Off
The flexibility of WIMS 200 allows the user to operate the light from multiple locations such as multiple doors.
The integrated light button is equipped with two LED lights to display the ON/OFF status of the light and also
to indicate the button location in the dark.
The Automatic Light Off feature of WIMS 200 enables the user to save energy. The amount of time the light
will stay on can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes, or it can be set for manual shut off.
Back-to-back and multi-way light controls are provided as optional features.
