MOBILTEX has launched GCRTech PFL1 moveable strain / movement information logger for water utilities trade. Based mostly on the field-proven design of the GCRTech PTRI/TRI information logger, MOBILTEX has additional enhanced the system to ship answer for discipline seize of vital strain and movement information for water utility operators.
Knowledge logging is important for water utilities to file parameters for strain and movement throughout the water community by interfacing with widespread trade movement meters and sensors to allow community administration. Visibility of district-metered areas (DMAs) mixed with community fashions, strain surveys, client movement monitoring and reservoir depth calculations all imply water corporations are in a position to make knowledgeable choices that may end in a discount in the price of community possession. With extra information comes elevated perception and in the end elevated worth.
The fully up to date PFL1 vary of information loggers utilises MOBILTEX’s patented information logging structure that enables the consumer to watch strain/movement inputs in a large number of configurations, offering final flexibility to satisfy software necessities. The PFL1 non-volatile reminiscence organises every information file as an unbiased information logger file with its personal begin/cease time, pattern charge, and logging charge.
The reminiscence register measurement is designed to be able to accommodate overflows related to excessive pulse charges on movement inputs. Stress measurement accuracy is optimised utilizing multi-point calibration and logged information could be recalibrated earlier than, throughout or after the recording by recalibrating the strain transducer to the logger.
Some purposes for the GCRTech PFL1 embrace leakage flow-monitoring; fireplace movement testing /C-factor testing; strain/PRV monitoring; hydraulic community evaluation; strain surge detection; minimal night time movement evaluation; and low-pressure investigations.
A number of the key options of the PI-1 embrace:
- One to a few selectable channels (2 Circulation/1 Stress) Inner & exterior strain sensor configs accessible
- 2 MB Flash non-volatile reminiscence organised into 6 separate information recordsdata 60,000 readings every, and a pair of separate information recordsdata 250,000 readings every
- Knowledge is retained for 10 years if battery energy fails
- Configurable sampling charge: 1 second to fifteen minutes
- Configurable logging charge: 5 seconds to 24 hours
- Logged information sorts: Common, instantaneous, minimal, most
- Circulation logging modes: Pulse, occasion, pulse interval timing
- Communications: IrDA baud charge of 115,200 Baud
- Fully waterproof and submersible (IP68)
- Battery life > 5 years beneath regular operation
“The improved GCRTech PFL1 launch is an thrilling milestone for GCRTech and represents the approaching evolution for the complete GCRTech portfolio. Subject technicians within the water utilities house now can simply and precisely seize strain/movement information in even essentially the most excessive places utilizing a compact, intelligently engineered answer that’s light-weight, extremely sturdy and likewise delivers the real-world runtimes that discipline engineers require,” says Marc Bracken, MOBILTEX CEO.
