An information gathering system for remotely monitoring and diagnosing the condition of equipment includes at least one sensor, electronic controller, electronic module and data processor unit. The electronic controller is connected to monitored equipment and operable to sense and electronically store an indication of the equipment condition. The electronic module is removably connectible with the electronic controller and operable to electronically record the indication of equipment condition, removably connectible with a telephone outlet and capable of sensing connection therewith, and preprogrammed to dial the telephone number of a data processor unit at a remote service provider location. The data processor unit responds to the dialed telephone number, downloads the electronic indication, analyzes it and outputs a recommended course of action.
