We are pleased to announce that effective immediately we have sold our remote monitoring solutions to Badger Meter for inclusion in their portfolio of smart water solutions. Badger Meter is a leader in smart water solutions for the complete water cycle, with over 118 years of expertise in the industry. As an innovator in flow measurement, water quality and control products, the company serves water utilities, municipalities and commercial and industrial customers worldwide. This sale includes our Trimble Unity Remote Monitoring software and services, Telog Enterprise and Telogers software and our Telog line of remote monitoring recorders. In the coming months, you'll be redirected to Badger Meter's site, as they transition these products.
The Telog PR-32A and Telog PR-32iA are versatile instruments intended to monitor water system pressures or water levels (e.g. underground aquifers, surface reservoirs or water tower levels). When you combine the Telog PR-32A series with a Trimble software option, you have a powerful system of wireless water infrastructure monitoring that is consistently delivering real-time data from the field straight to your desktop. Imagine.....all your data on one platform straight to your computer screen.
In addition to performing the measurement and recording functions of the Telog PR-32A, the impulse recording option feature of the Telog PR-32iA units stores the waveform of captured pressure transient waves detected on the monitored network. The Telog PR-32iA can store up to 125 events of variable duration that may occur over many months of on-site monitoring, recording up to a maximum of 2.5 minutes of transient data at 256 samples/second.
Wireless Communication
The power of every 32 series recorder from Trimble Telog is wireless data transfer capability. Using cellular technology enables unmanned monitoring of remote sites as well as instant updates and alarm notifications. The PR-32A/PR-32iA use a low power, LTE/Cat 1 cellular communication modem certified on Verizon Wireless. Additional communication options are also available on request.
Collecting Data
The Telog PR-32A/PR-32iA may be configured to call its host application on a schedule (e.g. once per day; every four hours, etc.) and/or in response to site alarm conditions (e.g. in response to a high level event). The recorder can sample the pressure sensor up to four times/second (Telog PR-32A) or up to 256 times/second (PR-32iA). Data may be stored in the recorder at user defined intervals (e.g. five minutes, one minute, etc.) without concern for data loss because the recorder will store up to 82,000 values, depending on input type, before overwriting the oldest data.
Packaging
The cellular modem, antenna, process signal conditioning, data recorder and battery are in a small IP68 rated Nema 6P enclosure for a combined weight of 2.5 pounds and measuring 4”L x 4”W x 3”H [102mm L x 102mm W x 76mm H].
Battery Powered
The Trimble Telog PR-32A and Telog PR-32iA recorders use a user replaceable Telog BP-4 lithium battery pack. At one call per day the battery pack will last up to five years on a PR-32A RTU. The battery life with a PR-32iA depends on
the sampling resolution chosen in addition to the call schedule (see table below for examples ). With user configurable call and sampling rates, you get to choose the best configuration for your application.
Software Support
Trimble Telog wireless recorders are compatible with all Telog software applications, including Trimble Unity, Telog Enterprise and Telogers for Windows application software. This ensures that utilities have a
complete solution addressing all their remote monitoring requirements delivered in a manner that suits each individual utility’s operations and IT needs.

Monitoring Progress: Nailing Down Water Hammer And Its Implications
By Telog, A Trimble Company
If you don't know what a water hammer is, well, that's a big part of the problem. It's an all-too-frequent issue for water systems everywhere, striking in pipelines that are growing more susceptible to failure as they age.
