1. Echologics EchoShore-DXe Leak Monitoring Sensor
The EchoShore-DXe acoustic leak monitoring sensor from Echologics is a valve-based sensor that extends the leak monitoring capabilities of the EchoShore-DX system. The sensor can attach magnetically to various appurtenances, including valves, boundary boxes, and underground hydrants — and works in tandem with the EchoShore-DX hydrant-based sensors — so utilities can get coverage where they need it. The sensor performs a scheduled, systemwide correlation to monitor, detect and locate leaks — even small and growing leaks. Sensors have 10-year battery life and support communications via LTE Cat-M1 and Narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) networks. Both the hydrant-based and valve-based sensors work together to provide optimal sensitivity and reliability.
