There are many reasons why the Omni16R should be considered when the time comes to replace those rack based legacy alarm systems. One of the major benefits, besides being a fast and cost effective upgrade/replacement solution is the increased reliability that it provides. Most rack based legacy alarm systems rely on a single CPU, causing complete loss of the alarm system in the event of a CPU failure. However, the Omni16R does not rely on a single CPU and each Omni16R alarm card is a standalone 16 point alarm annunciator in its own right, with its own processor and watchdog, eliminating complete loss of the alarm system due to a single CPU failure.
The system is based around the successful Omni16C alarm annunciator logic, cleverly re-packaged into a 19” rack mount version (up to 320 alarm points in a rack). The technology used is identical to the Omni16C (providing the benefit of many years of field experience), which has also been Emphasis assessed for use in the UK nuclear industry. Omni16R is a proven upgrade path for 19” rack mount legacy alarm systems.
