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).

- 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)

Extension in a later version
- Receipt of alarm messages from Octalarm-Touch and Octalarm-Touch Pro alarm diallers at remote locations
- Increase number of links to the Dupline I/O system (> 25 modules) so that large numbers of alarm contacts can be connected
- 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.

Touch IP65
The ARA-Touch Pro has a protection class of IP42. The alarm dialler is suitable for installation against a wall in a clean room where no strong pollution or splash water can occur. For less clean rooms and in places where there is a risk of splashing water, Adésys supplies a sealed cabinet with an IP65 protection degree, the Touch IP65.
The Touch IP65 is a standard IP65 cabinet that has been modified by us with a mounting rail and supplied cover plate (and associated screws). This allows you, where necessary, to install the Octalarm-Touch neatly finished quickly and easily in a protected environment.
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.
