How does it work?

In order to operate, SteamStar must be “fed” with information about the traps. There are two ways to supply this data: either by collecting the data manually, which requires that a technician run through each trap (generally once a year); or by collecting the data continuously and automatically, using Armstrong wireless monitoring tool - SteamEye®.

SteamEye® is installed on the pipe line upstream of the trap. This makes it completely universal - in fact, it can be used on any make or type of trap. SteamEye monitors the operation of the steam traps 24/7. The results are transmitted by radio frequency (RF) to a central receiver, and could be transmitted to SteamStar if Internet connection is available

This makes SteamStar and SteamEye the ideal combination for managing your steam trap system!
