Data Loggers
Our range of data loggers are rugged, waterproof, (IP68) devices with long battery life. With a choice of remote telemetry (SMS/GPRS) or manual transmission of data, combined with flexible logging, downloads and windowed schedules, provides you with a solution specific to your needs.
NEW PRODUCT ON DISPLAY
The MPL2 is designed to be a robust, portable and cost effective data logger that enhances our existing range. It is battery powered and submersible, with a life of up to 5 years in typical use. Designed to allow user battery changes, allowing extended product life and use in high logging rate installations. Internal pressure sensor only or dual input option includes pulse input. Multiple logging modes including ‘Stop when Full’ and cyclic logging. Local download via connector to PC, Laptop or Tablet.
Data Loggers with Remote Data Collection (SMS/GPRS)
The Textlog range of data loggers offers cost effective data collection remotely from site to support your leakage management, remote tank monitoring, strategic network performance/modelling and many other applications. Our flexible range allows the collection of flow, pressure and temperature data which can be transmitted via GPRS or SMS text message to a pre-determined server location. Every logger comes complete with SmartChart PC viewing software. Alternatively, data can be viewed simply and quickly via SmartChart Web: Ashridge’s graphical viewing platform. In addition to interfacing to all pulse output water meters, the Textlog can directly access the register of compatible smart meters. This allows high accuracy meter readings for AMR / billing purposes. Set-up and local collection of data can be carried out using Ashridge’s software using an Infra-Red communications lead. SMS commands can be sent directly to the Textlog to obtain status reports on the users mobile phone and change measurement parameters. Innovative use of state of the art components means that data can be recovered from damaged devices or Textlogs with low or no battery life.
Data Loggers with Manual Data Collection
Flo-Log® is designed to collect pulse data from up to two water meters. Flo-Log displays and logs the accumulated total flow, daily total flows, minimum logged flow value within the 24 hour period and also allows the user to select a “window†for measurement within each 24 hour period. This “window†is commonly used to produce a flow summary for night-line totals. The Flo-Log® has a display for onsite verification of flow data via the LCD and can be downloaded and viewed using Ashridge’s SmartChart® software.
We offer data loggers with temperature logging allowing the flexibility to monitor up to 2 flow, up to 2 pressure and up to 3 temperature parameters simultaneously. There are also data loggers connected to a rain gauge to allow remote monitoring of rainfall. Every 0.2mm of rainfall is measured and logged and is easily viewed using Ashridge’s PC SmartChart software. Additionally, we have data loggers with level and pressure sensors to provide remote level and pressure data, which is easily viewed on appropriate software.
Leak Burst Detection - Hydroguard
Developed in conjunction with a major water company, Hydroguard® measures, records and transmits flow, pressure and noise data to provide high integrity monitoring and protection for water trunk and transfer mains.Sophisticated algorithms are used to compress flow, pressure and noise data for transmission by SMS and GPRS. Following post processing analysis of the incoming data, the Hydroguard determines the failed asset and identifies the shuttable section. A verification test feature has been included within the software to allow full testing to be conducted at water control centres via water company real time processing systems. The use of a robust, highly sensitive noise sensor, with no moving parts, provides a signal with maximum immunity from background noise using techniques developed by Ashridge Engineering. The external accelerometer can be used in situ by 3rd party correlators therefore maximising the use of the sensors.
