[Nhcoll-l] Remote freezer monitoring

Tue Sep 22 05:09:44 EDT 2015

Krista

We have both of our liquid nitrogen dewars and two -80 Revco freezers
hooked up to an ADT (now TYCO) alarm system.  Each dewar has 4 zones -
high LN2 level, low LN2 level, high temp and battery while the -80 have a
high temp zone.  A call list of collection managers and curators (based on
who is closest to campus) gets alerted by phone to any alarm going off.
We have a call response document that outlines how each person should
respond - happy to share with redacted phone numbers etc if needed.

Happy to provide any further information that may be helpful.

Andy
