IP Sensing is Pleased To Be Presenting The: IP Sensing Water & Wastewater AMR/SCADA System 12/09/11
Key Markets Addressed by IP Sensing Products Are: Remote Monitoring AMR/SCADA for Water and Wastewater Districts. Hazardous Locations Monitoring AMR/SCADA for Oil & Gas Industry. GIS Mapping of Utility Assets for Remote Monitoring and Maintenance.
So Why does IP Sensing exist? IP Sensing products are targeted towards Ingress Protection ( IP ) engineering for the design of sensors and electronics to meet IP68 standards of long-duration submersion in water, fluids, and hazardous gases. IP Sensing specializes in long-range wireless sensor products and has the longest range pit radio on the market, named the PitBull Radio.
How Does IP Sensing Build Products? IP Sensing engineering knows that product robustness and reliability are dependent on manufacturing quality, therefore, all products are Made in the USA in order to maintain a close watch over factory production.
What Are the Key AMR/SCADA Drivers? AMR and SCADA are the Water, Wastewater, and Petroleum industry s tool for Billing, Monitoring, and Preventive Maintenance. Fixed-Base AMR/SCADA monitoring and control of field assets reduces operational cost: Rapid-alarm response prevents expensive damages, Identifies leaks and problems which drive up cost, Decreases man-hours required to operate system.
IP Sensing Design Success Deployments of over 20,000 water meter and vacuum sewer pit radios over the last 5 years in Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Indiana, Minnesota, and Canada. 5-15 year battery life. Less than 0.1% failure rate. Zero water intrusion, making the PitBull Radio and Sensors completely submergible.
IP Sensing AMR/SCADA Products
Wireless System Coverage: PitBull Radios and Data Collectors The IP Sensing AMR/SCADA System uses a wireless end point called the PitBull Radio for reading water meters and monitoring vacuum valve pits. Fixed-Base Data Collectors are placed on a 1 mile grid for system coverage and enabling communications with the PitBull Radios installed under cast iron lids in each water meter pit and vacuum valve pit.
Vacuum Sewer Monitoring System The IP Sensing AMR/SCADA System monitors a Vacuum Sewer System using Sensor Modules placed throughout the system: Valve Pit Sensor Module Sawtooth Lift Kit Sensor Module Sewer Main End Point Sensor Module Vacuum Station Sensor Module
Vacuum Sewer Valve Pit Monitoring Valve Stuck Open Sensor Tube Grease Clog Mechanical Controller Failure Sump Overflow Alarm Valve Seat Leak Alarm Valve Air-to-Liquid Ratio Alarm Valve Actuations Counter Valve Pit Low Vacuum Alarm Valve Pit Water Infiltration Alarm

Vacuum Sewer Main Sawtooth Lift Kit Sensor Module Sawtooth Lift Sensor Module monitors the Sawtooth Lift in problem areas of main sewer lines, such as sags and summits. Monitors: Air-to-Liquid Ratio in sewer main Waterlogged condition exist Sewage Flow in mains Sewer Main Leaks identify and locate
Sawtooth Lift Kit Sensor Module Measurements Air-to-Liquid Ratio ( A/L ) is defined by the amount of air flow versus liquid flow, and can be monitored at the Sawtooth Lift locations. Waterlogging condition occurs when sewer main is full of water with no air present and will first occur in the sags. Sewage Flow in mains are monitored and compared to valve pit sewage usage to determine water infiltration due to leaks.
Sawtooth Lift Kit Installation
Data Collection Options: Fixed-Base, Handheld, or Truck Radio Handheld and Truck Radio allows communications with PitBull Radios in the field to download Water Meter Reads and Valve Pit operations. Fixed-Base System brings all of the data to the home office with real-time performance and allows outgoing commands to remotely shutoff water meters and actuate vacuum valves.

Fixed-Base SCADA Benefits Fixed-Base AMR/SCADA allows remote monitoring of Valve Pits and Vacuum Sewer Mains for rapid response. Real-time monitoring vacuum levels at Sewer Main ends and Vacuum Stations. Preventative maintenance of valve pits becomes targeted towards actual use of equipment instead of servicing all valve pits once a year as requested by manufacturer.
AMR/SCADA Multi-Hop Mesh Network Configuration PitBull Radios transmit their readings to Fixed- Base Data Collectors, spaced on a 1 mile grid. A Master Data Collector at the Utility office gathers data from all of the Data Collectors in the field. Multi-hop Mesh Network topology provides many paths of transmission from each PitBull Radio to the Master Data Collector.
Multi-Hop Mesh Network Communication
Vacuum Station SCADA Features Remote Meter and Gauge Readings. Remote Variable Speed Pump Control. Remote Tank Level Monitoring. Remote Valve Monitor and Control. Datalog History of Meters, Gauges, Pump Control, Tank Level, and Valve Positions. Alarm Notification Options, i.e. Email, Cell.

Fixed-Base SCADA Benefits Real-time monitoring and control of pump station sensors and relays 4 20 ma Current Loop. MODBUS RS-485. Excessive vibration, over-current, and overheating of a motor or pump are indications of a problem before a catastrophic failures occur. Proactive monitor and control of the Water & Wastewater System is much less expensive that recovering from a catastrophic failure!
Assets Manager Graphical Interface User-friendly Graphical Maps make the AMR/SCADA System easy to operate. GPS Location of all Field Assets include water & sewer lines, meters, valve pits, and pumps. Graphical Maps Display of all Field Assets with easy to understand Alarm Indicators.

Operation & Maintenance Benefits The PitBull Radio keeps a finger on the pulse of a water/wastewater system. Forewarns of problems before they occur. Provides for more rapid response. Gives GPS coordinates and address of the problems. Provides diagnosis of problems, and lets you know if it has been corrected.
Operation & Maintenance Benefits Data Logging provides history of water consumption, vacuum valve actuations, sewer main waterlogging, alarms, etc., and stores records for troubleshooting. Customer no longer has to call to report a problem! Improves operator and customer confidence in the system. Liabilities and Losses are reduced: Prevents Waterlogging Sewer Mains Prevents Customer Backups
Man-hour Cost Savings Low Vacuum at Valve Pit: Forewarns of problem growing Locates water logged sewer main Locates leaks in sewer mains Reduces man-hours in locating problems
Operational Cost Savings Preventative Maintenance: Saves man-hour overtime cost by identifying problems during normal hours Saves preventative maintenance cost by only servicing the vacuum valve pits with problems, i.e., sensor tube clogging Saves cost in refurbishing kits
Liability Cost Savings Critical Full Sump Alarm: Prevent customer backups Prevent cleanup cost Customer does not have to call Build customer confidence in system
Operational Cost Savings Identify Leaking Valves: Reduces energy cost by 50% - 90% per leaking pit Increases Vacuum Station Capacity Increase Sewer Mains Capacity Run Vacuum Station at lower Vacuum Pressure Save man-hours in locating leaking valve
Operational Cost Savings Increases system capacity: Saves cost in adding new hookups without having to add larger sewer mains Saves cost in adding new hookups without having to add new vacuum pumps Saves cost in having to increase vacuum levels during peak demand times Saves cost in being able to run vacuum pumps at lower levels during normal operation
