Software Updates
Note if you own an RM system from Aware and would like to update your Aw-Srad dos software and, if previously
purchased, the Aw-Graph dos software, we can E-Mail the update package
to you in the form of a zip file. A standard update of the dos based
software is $22 (unless there is a problem with the old software).
Include in your E-Mail to us enough information such that we can find
the purchase info. in our database. For example include Name and/or
address where unit was shipped, or invoice #. Otherwise the
standard set of software costs $99 and Aw-Graph costs $74. To order
using credit card see above section "To Order". Purchasers of the
Aw-Radw Windows program Aw-Radw are entitled to
free updates which include updates of Aw-Srad and Aw-Graph: Aw-Radw Updates
LATE ADDITION: Alarm Software-Solid State Relay kit
Chop off those Radon peaks.
Aware Electronics Corp. has available a special version of the
radiation software (both the standard collection and display
software AW-SRAD.EXE and the TSR program AW-MRAD.COM), which brings
a pin high in the serial port when the radiation alarm level is
exceeded. All other aspects of the software are identical to the
standard set, including the scrolling bar charts. This special software
package is called Alarm Software Package.
As with the standard software set, the alarm level is compared to
the average radiation level for any time period desired (user
settable). Also the software can automatically start from the
autoexec.bat file, so even if power fails and then PC reboots, the
software will automatically start.
This allows the user to carry out many useful functions. For
example, a user may wish to control a Radon mitigation fan or HEPA room
fan-filter. To do so, he could plug an RM-60, 70 or 80, with or without the
Aware Fan-Filter add-on into a PC (any IBM clone including XTs, 200LX Palm
Top, etc.). He would tap the serial port output pin (same serial port
that the RM unit is plugged into), and connect this lead along with
signal ground, to the input of a solid state relay, then connect the
output of the relay in-line with the power cord to the mitigation fan or
HEPA filter fan. Now, every time the average radiation level exceeds the
alarm set point, the solid state relay will start the mitigation or HEPA
filter fan. When levels drop below the set point, the fan will
deactivate. (See user's page for user's experience User's Page
Price of the Alarm Software package (part # ASP-1) is $45 when purchased
with an RM unit or as an update, and $49 when purchased
separately.
Also available: Solid State Relay Kit (part # SSRK-1) which "snaps"
in-line with the telephone cable running from the PC to the RM unit
(RM-60, 70, 80, PMI-30, etc.). The Solid State Relay kit contains an
opto-isolated solid state relay (with zero crossing triac, input: 3 to
30 volts, 1ma/V; output: 24 to 280 VAC, 10 amps max.) mounted in an ABS
box (4.4"x2.44"x1.06"; ABS includes flame retardant), with surface mount
MOD jack - wiring box fused to ABS box for easy snap-in connection to the
PC serial port adapter included with the RM unit.
Input circuit includes current limiting diode, to keep current draw from
serial port to a minimum. Kit is completely wired, ready to snap
in-line with cable from RM unit. All user need do is wire in the
mitigation or HEPA filter fan power lead (for example use an extension
cord, cut one lead and wire to heavy duty output screw terminals on
solid state relay, within the ABS box). Also included: Six feet six
conductor telephone cable to run from the PC to the box.
Cost of the Solid State Relay kit: $99 If you would like us to wire in
a 120 volt plug and socket, add $25.
Note: All serial port adapters shipped with RM units for the
last few years have included wiring of the proper pins for the Alarm
software. If your RM unit is older than a few years, we'll include two
new adapters, no charge.
An example order for a complete system follows:
RM-60 system:----------------------$149.50
Fan-Filter Add on:-----------------$ 79.00
Solid State Relay Kit:-------------$ 99.00
Add the 120 Volt Plug and Socket:--$ 25.00
Alarm Output Control Software:-----$ 45.00
One should also consider AW-GRAPH package: $74. As with the
standard software, data can be displayed with AW-GRAPH as the Alarm
software runs. (Fan-Filter includes MAKDECAY).
For running under Windows one should order our new Aw-Radw Windows
program which includes all the features of the above listed Alarm Output
Control Software as well as all the features of Aw-Graph but includes many additional features.
