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.
When you combine the Telog PFE-32A pulse frequency/event recorder and Trimble’s range of cloud or on premise software solutions, 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.
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 iLR-32A uses a low-power, LTE/Cat 1 cellular communication modem certified on Verizon Wireless. Additional communication options are also available on request.
Collecting Data
The Trimble Telog PFE-32A may be configured to call its server application on a schedule (e.g. once per day; every four hours, etc.) and/or on alarm (e.g. in response to a major rainfall event). 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 over 80,000 interval totals before overwriting the oldest data.
Packaging
The cellular modem, antenna, process signal conditioning, data recorder and battery are integrated into a small IP68 rated enclosure for a combined weight of two and one-half pounds and measuring 4”L x 4”W x 3”H [102mm L x 102mm W x 76mm H]. Because the antenna is enclosed within the Trimble Telog PFE-32A, the only connection required is the sensor output.
Battery Powered
Powered by a single user replaceable BP-4 lithium battery pack, the Telog PFE-32A continuously monitors the contact closures of the device (e.g. meter or pump) being monitored in user defined time increments then transfers the data automatically over a cellular network to the cloud or to a central host computer. The Telog PFE-32A can operate up to five years making on average one call per day.
Software Support
The Telog PFE-32A is 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.
