PermaNet (Radio & SMS)

Automatic Data Collection via Radio

PermaNet is a permanent, fixed network in which telemetry data from Permalog+ loggers can be sent wirelessly at regular intervals to a remote receiver - such as an office desktop PC. Leakage data can now be delivered automatically every day via the GlobalNet server to any monitoring station connected to the internet. A powerful system can be created to supply up-to-date effective leak location information for the cost effective management of areas with high levels of leakage or access/security issues.

Permalog leakage data is automatically collected by above ground mounted radio boosters, which then re-transmit to the control data hub. The Wi5 data hub (see separate brochure) outputs via GPRS, WIFI or USB so that the information is transmitted to a viewing platform. Licensed radio technology is used, thereby removing the requirement to have SIM cards and communications costs at each logger.

The system can be configured to send a leak alert whenever one of the loggers reports a potential leak, enabling a rapid response to be made. Additional savings are made as leakage teams can now be quickly and efficiently deployed specifically to leak alert areas PermaNet provides the ultimate leak monitoring system using proven technology to deliver the results you want automatically and directly.

Automatic Data Collection via SMS telemetry

PermaNet SMS communicates wirelessly with Permalog+ loggers to collect leak data and then transmits this information directly to an office computer or mobile phone via low cost SMS telemetry. This removes the requirement for expensive site visits and “drive past” data capture. Instead, leakage data can be delivered automatically to your monitoring station.

The unit has a built in radio receiver and SMS transmitter. When it is not receiving or transmitting data it remains in a low power “sleep” mode to conserve battery life. Data is sent via radio from the Permalog+ loggers in range and the unit then transmits this information via SMS to the monitoring station running the PermaHost software.

PermaNet SMS can be configured to send an immediate leak alert whenever one of the loggers reports a potential leak. Additional savings are made as leakage teams can now be quickly and efficiently deployed specifically to leak alert areas.

PermaNet provides the ultimate leak monitoring system using proven technology to deliver the results you want automatically and directly. The unit is water proof to a depth of 4 meters (IP68 rated) and can operate in temperatures between -40C to +85C. It is hard wearing and can withstand a 1 meter drop onto concrete and remain functional.
