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 Ru-32mA is a versatile eight channel RTU that can be supplied with one or two pressure sensors and can interface up to two digital inputs (pulse and/or event), one 4-20mA current loop from a process instrument, one analog voltage or potentiometer input, and two additional inputs to capture the encoded register reading of single or dual water meters such as master meters and compound meters.
Wireless Communication
Using cellular technology enables unmanned monitoring of remote sites as well as instant updates and alarm notifications. The Ru-32mA uses a low power, LTE/Cat 1 cellular communication modem certified on multiple cellular systems. This ensures maximum coverage, reliability of service and alignment with cellular carriers technology roadmaps. Additional communication options are also available on request.
Collecting Data
The Telog Ru-32mA may be confi gured to call it’s server application on a schedule (e.g. once per day; every four hours, etc.) and/or in response to site alarm conditions (e.g. high or low pressure or level exceedance). The recorder can sample the sensor up to four times/second and store the data statistics (minimum, average, maximum or totals) at user defi ned intervals.
Packaging
The cellular modem, data recorder and battery are integrated into an IP68 rated, environmentally rugged enclosure weighing three pounds and measuring 8 x 8 x 4 inches (L x W x H). The unit is provided with a panel mount TNC coax connector and will support a variety of certified antennas. All connectors and fi tings are watertight and the product is environmentally rated IP68 to 9.8 feet (three meters) of depth.
Battery Powered
The Telog Ru-32mA are battery powered and use a single, user replaceable battery pack, Telog BP-4, providing an operating life of up to five years depending on the user-defined call schedule. A five year battery life example would be sampling two pressure sensors every 10 seconds and water meter registers hourly and transferring data to a host server on a daily schedule. The recorder can also be connected to optional, customer supplied DC or solar power.
Software Support
Trimble Telog wireless recorders are compatible with all Trimble 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.

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.
