The new Pulsar Telelog industrial modem from Jekyll Electronic Technology allows simultaneous automated reading from electricity, water and gas meters.
Checking the battery life of a network of modems can be a logistical difficulty.
Battery monitoring equipment at best give only a rough indication of charge capacity so frequent visits have to be made.
As the Pulsar Telelog is powered directly by the telephone line, there is no need to make these checks and with remote diagnostics also incorporated, telemetry costs are driven down further still.
Applications are numerous.
As well as counting pulse electricity, water and gas meters, it can check mechanical switch status for water level or tank contents level indicators, intruder detection, flow failure detection, leak detection, and plant failure monitors.
Once an alarm condition arises, the Telelog sends a message to a centralised terminal, mobile phone or pager.
This system has met a positive response and Jekyll hopes many industries, from supermarkets monitoring daily energy consumption to distribution companies checking cooling systems at remote plants, will benefit. Request a free brochure from Jekyll Electronic Technology ...
