BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION OFFERS PUBLIC &
PRIVATE FACILITIES
A NEW, LOW COST MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM
[Olathe, Kansas] August 26, 2003 - Butler
National Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board "BUKS"),
announces its environmental service/sales subsidiary, Butler
National Services, Inc. "BNS", Fort Lauderdale,
Fl., now offers a low cost monitoring, Wireless Data System
"WDS-1500" that uses the "Data Network"
of the cellular phone system to keep key personnel informed
of critical situations. The WDS-1500 provides a digital cellular
link that will work anywhere in North America where cellular
phone service is available.
Companies, municipalities and individual owners of a Wireless
Data System may monitor and receive instant messages concerning
the conditions of various mechanical and security situations,
including warehouses and inventory, wastewater pumping stations,
water facilities, power stations, irrigations systems, refrigeration,
air conditioning, and many other monitoring situations.
This new wireless system monitors three digital inputs, controls
one relay output, and receives one pulse counter input that
can be preset to report every 24 hours or on demand. Alarm
messages, as they occur, are immediately displayed as text
messages to a computer, pager, or cell phone.
Jon Fischrupp, President of the Florida environmental services
division said, "The new low cost WDS-1500 allows for
critical monitoring of a variety of situations. BNS is now
installing the WDS-1500 at private EPA sensitive facilities
owned by condominiums, restaurants, shopping centers, service
stations among others. The WDS-1500 is ideal for car dealers,
marinas, warehouses, and any company or individual that needs
to monitor a critical environment or location. BNS includes
WDS-1500 as part of its regular service contract. Early detection
of a problem gives service personnel a critical advantage
to fix a problem before it grows.
The new WDS-1500 complements the BNS "SCADA" time
monitoring system (Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition
System) used by larger cities and facilities. BNS provides
an alternative to cities that would rather privatize the maintenance
of their wastewater pumping stations.
