Telemetry Systems: If you are looking for frequent and timely environmental data on which to make decisions or an alarm to warn you of rising/falling levels and you need to find a cost-effective solution that will save time, money and be safe in potentially hazardous situations, then a telemetry system is what you need.
Today the most up-to-date systems incorporate technology that delivers environmental data to a PC reliably and inexpensively. Following the adage ‘prevention is better than cure’ this data could prove invaluable in preventing potential environmental disasters, which are easier and cheaper to deal with rather than implementing a plan to cure extensive pollution type damage.
Most telemetry systems comprise of three elements: smart monitoring sensors, internet and wireless telemetry and innovative software. A system needs to be well constructed and immune to temperature fluctuations, noise, shock, harsh environments and interference if to be deployed on a site for long term data collection.
The construction of systems, how they are powered and what material they are constructed of will depend on your application and whether it will be an above or below ground installation. As too will be the type of wireless system required: radios for single sets up to about 5 miles and repeater networks for extended coverage or, more popular, IP modems for locations where there is cellular coverage. A combination of both can also be used.
The timely, accurate data delivered by each of these systems can help minimise extensive environmental damage, reduce potential clean-up costs and reduce the risk of fines for non-compliance with statutory regulations. Each provides accurate data and can be deployed for instant data retrieval or for long term onsite data monitoring. Importantly it also reduces the cost of staff deployment to site.
