Programmable atmospheric stabilizer
First Claim
1. A programmable environment monitor and control system comprising:
- a plurality of satellite monitors, each monitor having an input port for receiving signals from a sensor and an output port for transmitting a correction signal to a correcting device; and
a central control unit in communication with each monitor having a display for displaying a representation of the signal received at each monitor input port and a control panel for controlling the correction signal transmitted at each monitor output port.

Abstract
A programmable atmospheric stabilizer uses one or more sensors for detecting the condition of potentially hazardous materials within a container or some other enclosed atmosphere. The sensors connect to a first threshold detector which activates a first order correcting device when the sensor detects a first order hazard. The sensor also connects to a second threshold detector which activates a second correcting device when the sensor detects a second order hazard. The first correcting device may be a fan, and the second correcting device may include an alarm. A variety of different sensors can be connected to one monitoring unit and a variety of different correcting devices can be activated by the monitoring unit. Each monitor can be connected to a central location where the sensed levels and the activity of the correcting devices can be monitored. The threshold levels at which each of the correcting devices are activated can be adjusted independently and when the monitors are coupled to a central control unit the correcting devices can be controlled from the central location. The monitor acts independently and is suitable for different applications including hazardous storage containers, manufacturing plants, parking structures, and office buildings.
