APPLICATION LIBRARY | AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT & MONITORING

Choose industrial instruments around real applications. Explore measurement briefs, compatibility checks and linked project stories before specifying sensors, meters, gateways and controllers.

ProSense Instruments applications library

Start with what you need to measure

The application determines the equipment. Before choosing a model, establish the medium, range, accuracy, environment and output required. These selection briefs help you prepare a complete specification, while companion pages at ProSense Solutions explain the system and operating context.

Explore application briefs

Cleanroom Pressure Monitoring with LEFOO

State the expected differential pressure, required positive and negative range, accuracy and reference arrangement. Do not confuse display resolution with measurement accuracy. Tell the supplier which side of the boundary is the reference, the operating environment and whether the reading is for observation, alarms or a control input.

Irrigation Zone Water Balance and Flow Monitoring

Provide the pipe dimensions, water quality, minimum and maximum flow, operating pressure and installation location. The lowest normal zone flow matters as much as the peak. A meter selected only from pipe diameter may be unsuitable at the operating points the customer most needs to distinguish.

Hygienic Liquid Batch Measurement

A useful specification includes liquid identity, conductivity where relevant, viscosity, entrained gas or solids, temperature, pressure and the expected flow range. State minimum batch size and acceptable tolerance. These details help distinguish a suitable meter from one that merely has the right pipe connection.

Water Detection Around Edge IT Cabinets

List the cabinet, floor area, drainage routes and nearby water services. Specify whether discrete points or a continuous sensing arrangement are required and assess the exact available products. Environmental protection, access for maintenance and the surface where a sensor will sit all affect selection.

Acrel Hospital Switchgear Monitoring: Manufacturer Case

An energy meter, a temperature-monitoring device and a partial-discharge monitor are not interchangeable. Specify the physical quantity, the asset and the intended use of the result. Send an asset schedule and the electrical system details to the qualified project team before selecting instruments.

Hot-Water Supply and Return Monitoring with Milesight

Provide normal and maximum temperatures, required accuracy, pipe or immersion mounting, cable length and environmental conditions. Clarify whether the measurement is intended for trend observation or another purpose. A device's electronic measurement range alone does not establish that the supplied probe and cable suit the installation.

ProSense project spotlights and manufacturer cases

The stories below distinguish ProSense enquiry or commissioning work from manufacturer-reported deployments and illustrative examples. Customer identities are withheld from the project spotlights. Project status is stated in each article; an order or quotation is not presented as proof of a completed installation or measured savings.

Scoping Multi-Site Acrel Circuit Monitoring

ProSense project spotlight | Scoping and quotation | Customer anonymised — A recent ProSense enquiry involved monitoring dozens of three-phase circuits across multiple sites. The proposed approach considered Acrel multi-circuit meters, matched current sensors and a cellular router connection. The work was at the specification and quotation stage when this spotlight was prepared.

Commissioning Rural Flow and Tank Monitoring

ProSense project spotlight | Supply and commissioning support | Customer anonymised — An ongoing rural water project has brought together flow measurement, tank-level sensing and Dragino connectivity. The customer's practical objective is to understand water use and recognise sustained flow that may warrant checking a trough, pipe or valve.

Defining Cold-Room History and Alarm Requirements

ProSense project spotlight | Dashboard and alarm setup requirements | Customer anonymised — After activating a supplied Dragino cellular temperature device, a customer asked for a clear current-temperature view, historical graphs and an alarm when the cold room became too warm. The room was used intermittently, which added an important question: how should monitoring behave when the equipment is intentionally switched off?

Monnit Door and Temperature Monitoring in Dairy Production

Manufacturer-reported case | Monnit | ProSense application commentary — Monnit documents a dairy manufacturer's use of wireless monitoring after a door-sealing problem contributed to temperature excursions. This is Monnit's reported customer example, not a ProSense installation.

Milesight Hotel BMS Modernisation in France

Manufacturer-reported case | Milesight and its project partners | ProSense application commentary — Milesight describes a LoRaWAN-based BMS upgrade at a 170-room Novotel in France, delivered with SCORP-IO and SPARWAN. The hotel needed centralised building management while remaining operational. This is a manufacturer and partner reference, not a ProSense-delivered project.

Two-Lane Production Counting with Coolmay PLC and HMI

Illustrative application | Coolmay PLC/HMI | Not a completed customer case — A production team may need separate totals for two lanes without replacing the entire line-control system. A PLC and HMI arrangement can be considered for that task, using suitable detection inputs and project-specific counting logic. This example explains the design questions; it does not describe a verified customer deployment.

Prepare your equipment enquiry

Send the measurement range, process conditions, installation details and the receiving system's input requirements. Include existing model codes or photographs when replacing an instrument. Ask the quotation to distinguish hardware, accessories, configuration and any separately agreed services.

How this application library is prepared

Publisher: ProSense Instruments. These guides are prepared with AI assistance from linked manufacturer materials and, where expressly identified, anonymised ProSense project correspondence. System-planning and equipment-selection guidance is separated across our two sites to serve different customer needs.

Manufacturer cases describe the manufacturer's reported work. ProSense project spotlights identify the stage supported by the records, such as enquiry, quotation or commissioning. Illustrative applications are labelled as examples. A product order alone is not evidence of an installed system, measured savings or customer endorsement.

Sources for the new manufacturer references were checked on 2 November 2026. Confirm current product specifications and project suitability before purchase. To request a correction or discuss the evidence behind a guide, contact sales@prosenseinstruments.com.au or call 1800 560 854.

Manufacturer white papers and technical reading

Explore source-led guides from LEFOO, Madincos, Acrel and Monnit. We distinguish white papers, application guides and datasheets so that the source's purpose and age are clear. These are practical reading companions, not manufacturer endorsements of ProSense or claims of completed ProSense installations.

LEFOO — Manufacturer application guide

Pressure-switch application guidance on operating range, electrical interface and process connections. Publication date is not specified in the linked guide.

Madincos — Manufacturer-authored datasheet, distributor-hosted

A January 2019 manufacturer-authored MPR9000 datasheet hosted by a distributor. Use it as historical technical context and confirm the current model and software documentation before purchase.

Acrel — Manufacturer solution guide

A building energy-monitoring solution guide dated 4 December 2023, used here to inform measurement-boundary and circuit-schedule planning.

Monnit — Manufacturer white paper (2017)

A 2017 agriculture white paper. Our companion guide develops greenhouse monitoring questions and does not reuse its dated market forecasts.
