PermaNet - Automatic Data Collection via Radio or SMS Repeater
PermaNet is a permanent, fixed network in which telemetry data from Permalog+ loggers can be sent wirelessly at regular intervals to a remote receiver –such as an office desktop PC. Leakage data can now be delivered automatically every day via the GlobalNet server to any monitoring station connected to the internet. With a complete network of devices, a powerful system can be created to supply up-to-date flow data and effective leakage detection, leak sizing, location and information for the cost effective management of areas with high levels of leakage or access/security issues.
PermaNet SMS transmits data from Permalog+ loggers to an office computer or mobile phone via low cost SMS telemetry. The unit has a built in radio receiver and SMS transmitter. When it is not receiving or transmitting data it remains in a low power “sleep”mode to conserve battery life. Data is sent via radio from the Permalog+ loggers in range and the unit then transmits this information via SMS to the monitoring station running the PermaHost software. The logger and SMS Repeater are separate units linked by radio signal, making it easier to install in tight locations and enabling themto be positioned to get the best available network signal.
Both the Radio and SMS Repeater options can be configured to send a leak alert whenever one of the loggers reports a potential leak, enabling a rapid response to be made. Additional savings are made as leakage teams can now be quickly and efficiently deployed specifically to leak alert areas.
PermaNet provides the ultimate leak monitoring system using proven technology to deliver the results you want automatically and directly.
