Water monitoring
FLOW MONITOR HELPS NOAA MEASURE OCEAN SALT CONTENT
content of the world’s oceans. NOAA previously was unaware when a pump clogged when taking in salt water as part of its measuring process. Different types of sea plankton and natural sea water debris congested the pump, creating inaccurate sea water readings. An AW-Lake MX 9000 Panel Mount Process Monitor not only tracked the amount of sea water flowing into the pump, but integrated output into the ship’s data-gathering computer. The monitor was calibrated to trigger an alarm onboard the ship if water flow rate dropped below a specific level. “Whether it’s out on the open ocean or the open road, our products are helping different industries measure and monitor flow rates,” states AW-Lake general manager Mark Iverson. “In many applications similar to NOAA, it’s imperative that process operations run more smoothly and efficiently.” The MX-9000 Panel Mount Process Monitor is ideal for any industrial flow measurement application where a simple, compact and easy- to-use remote flow monitor is required.

ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY FOR REMOTE WATER LEVEL LOGGER
logger, the OTT ecoLog 1000. Now equipped with low-power LTE-M (CAT M1) connectivity, the device provides water professionals with simple, fast access to their water level data. LTE-M is a type of low-power wide area network communication technology standard for a wide range of cellular devices and services in machine (M2M) and IoT applications, such as networks of groundwater monitoring sites. LTE-M has 5G compatibility making it future proof as cellular networks evolve. Mobile devices, smart phones, and tablets

TT HydroMet has added additional communication options to its water level and temperature
operating with Android, iOS or Windows 10 are all supported. In addition, simple local communication is available via Bluetooth. By supporting 4G and cellular IoT transmission, LTE-M increases the speed and lowers the cost of data transmission, enabling users to conduct remote two- way operations such as configuration, network management, data download or the viewing of real-time data. Robust, simple to install, and running on low-power with a 10-year battery life, the ecoLog 1000 has been designed specifically for long- term, unattended deployment. Enhanced connectivity further reduces the requirement for site visits, and lowers the cost of ownership.
