Trimble recently introduced the new Telog 41 Series of wireless, battery-powered sensors for IoT water monitoring applications, using LoRa to remotely measure and monitor water, wastewater and groundwater systems for pressure, flow, level and rainfall volume.
As part of a smart water infrastructure, the sensors work in combination with Telog cloud-hosted and on–premise software. The sensors extend across a utility’s existing monitoring programs for better tracking, measurement and reporting of water usage, sanitary and combined-sewer overflows and flooding, leakage and non-revenue water.
“The IoT for water enables a step change in operational efficiency, compliance and sustainability for the water industry,” said Adrian Newcombe, business director, Telog, Trimble. “With the Telog 41 Series of IoT sensors, utilities now have the ability to monitor areas of their network that would have been cost prohibitive to reach in the past. And with the ability to wirelessly report data at resolutions down to five minute intervals, water managers have much deeper visibility into their operations. This is essential for enabling utilities to transform how they operate their distribution and collection networks.”
The new series of products includes five wireless IoT sensors that communicate to Telog software at intervals between 5 minutes and 24 hours using LoRaWAN technology. The sensors are: Pressure Monitoring, Level Monitoring, Flow Monitoring, Pulse/Event Monitoring, and Rainfall Monitoring.
Key common features include: Low cost relative to traditional cellular remote monitoring products, LoRaWAN IoT wireless technology, configurable alerts and alarms for automated event detection and reporting, powered by a single, user-replaceable C-size lithium battery, Small size, rugged and easy to install.
