Q: What types of alerts are available?

Alerts are available for all types of CORIS sensors: temperature, relative humidity, LN2 level, CO 2 level, water sensor, door open/closed, external alarm port, motion/occupancy, etc.

Q: How will staff and researchers be notified when there is a problem?

Alerts are sent to users via email, text message and/or phone call, based on user preferences. Each user can customize how they want to receive alerts based on the severity of the alert, the time of day and the day of the week.

Q: Once we have a system in place, can we expand it?

Additional CORIS sensor modules can be added at any time to monitor any number of devices, so you can start with monitoring a single device and grow to thousands.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of CORIS sensors that can be monitored?

There is no limit to the number of sensors or devices that can be monitored. Hundreds of CORIS sensors can share one CORIS Gateway, and there is no limit to the number of CORIS Gateways that can be active for any customer, in any number of locations around the world.

Q: What else can be monitored besides temperature?

The CORIS system can also be used to monitor relative humidity levels, CO 2 levels, LN2 levels in dewars and tanks, water leaks and flood detection, open/closed doors, motion/occupancy, external alarm circuits on lab equipment, and electrical usage of appliances including freezers and refrigerators.

Q: What is the temperature range that can be monitored?

The CORIS Extreme Temperature Sensor (ETS) probes cover a range of -250°C to +1200°C (2200°F). Higher temperature monitoring is available by special order. The CORIS TH-D covers a range of -25°C to +50°C.
