Data Loggers and Management
CAS Dataloggers TL400-I
CAS Dataloggers’ TL400-I level transmitter is designed for nonintrusive level and volume measurement in tanks. It utilizes low-power infrared laser time-of-flight measurements to determine the exact distance between the sensor and the surface of the contents of the vessel. It can be used to measure liquids such as water or solids like grains. An onboard processor provides advanced filtering capabilities to accurately measure stirred liquids and the ability to calibrate the output in volume with a 20-point linearization to accommodate irregularly shaped vessels. The TL400 can be easily configured using its Bluetooth interface and the Novus SigNow software for Windows PCs, iOS, and Android devices. 800-956-4437; www.dataloggerinc.com
Hermann Sewerin GmbH SePem 155
Systematic monitoring of a water network with SePem 155 data loggers from Hermann Sewerin GmbH helps reliably identify existing leaks and catch new ones much earlier and faster than with conventional methods. In a pipe network, water loss caused by a number of smaller leaks added together is likely to be considerably higher than the loss caused by a few spectacular pipe bursts visible on the surface. Noise loggers are capable of reliably detecting both types of leak site — slowly growing and spontaneously occurring. These data loggers are ideal for mobile use and can also be used for the stationary monitoring of water supply networks. They provide fast and reliable results and can also be reliably operated by less experienced users. The measuring times and periods of radio activity are freely programmable. 888-592-9916; www.sewerin.com

Sensors
Aquarius Spectrum iQ100B
The iQ100B wireless acoustic sensor from Aquarius Spectrum enables listening to the pipe, performing leak survey and identifying leaks. It seamlessly connects to the cloud via a user-friendly Android or iOS mobile application on your smartphone or tablet. It enables hearing the audio recording in real time using the registered audio speaker (the local speaker or a wireless headset). Collected samples can be uploaded, viewed, and analyzed in a designated module in the AQS-SYS portal. The recorded audio is sent to the cloud for in-depth analysis, which classifies the audio as Leak/No-Leak, reducing dramatically the effort of the back-office man-in-the-loop. It has a robust IP68 rigid plastic enclosure, meeting the safety, radio and environmental standards (UL94, CE/FCC, IP68). The internal rechargeable battery has the capacity to last for five complete survey days between recharging (with an average survey of 8 hours per day). An RGB LED indicator visually indicates states of operation by color and sequence. www.aqs-systems.com
