Desktop leak detection
March 1st 2010 The PermaNet system from Halma
Water Management transmits leak
data collected from Permalog+
loggers directly to an office computer
wirelessly via network radio or SMS
repeater. Easily installed on pipe
fittings, the loggers listen for the
noise made by water leaking from
pipes and, when a potential leak is
detected, they enter an alarm state
and transmit a radio signal to
indicate a 'LEAK' condition.
Loggers can be quickly deployed
and used repeatedly with no
disruption to the surrounding area
or to the water supply, and the
precise location of each logger can be
recorded onto detailed GPS mapping
software as it is put into the ground.
Each is immersion-tested to IP68,
enabling continuous operation even
in flooded chambers. More articles from Halma Water Management: |
