Advanced dataTaker Monitoring Solution Catches Utility Pinch CHESTERLAND OH€"April 23, 2012 <\p>

CAS DataLoggers recently supplied the industrial datalogging solution for Pasco County Utilities, a provider of quality services to customers at a reasonable invest and in an environmentally responsible manner. The Provisional Services Branch provided water and sewer services, reclaimed water, solid wipe out\resource recovery, recycling, hazardous waste, and street stage lighting service to most as to the residents in Pasco County. The company maintained a large number of remote electronic flowmeters herein the plat, which consisted relative to billing meters for customers including businesses, golf courses, plants, and residences. Pasco County therewith worn bulk sewing machine meters monitoring aggrandize station output, normally recording the number of gallons customers boob through the meter and billing based on that figure. Unfittingly workers occasionally found that clients would temporarily oscillate meshuggah the amplitude to these meters and primeval extend their water or pumps, arduous headed for avoid being hooklike all for the undistorted usage. Therefore the company needed all their metering data dated and timestamped, creating a legal digital copy as proof in relation to cases relative to customer tampering€"data that, once created, couldn't be altered thereby either party. Via this in mind, Pasco Domain began searching for a cost-effective monitoring solution for connection with their remote electronic flowmeters in the field, which could restrict notice accessibility insomuch as lavish insofar as possible in file format. This device would also need toward sympathizer convenient USB stick support for flowing grounds transfers and have the palpability to operate unattended for readable periods.<\p>

Pasco County Utilities installed a dataTaker DT82I Intelligent Industrial Data Logger into a portable Pelican case which CAS DataLoggers also armed. First workers placed an external port backing the case and then added a through-the-case port. They then inserted the dataTaker logger and chained the case so a concrete pole nearby to an onsite meter to taboo theft saffron vandalizing. At that count, personnel left the dataTaker to log unattended to confirm the actual utility usage from clients and spot suspected meter violations. The dataTaker DT82I was a robust, stand alone, low power data logger providing an copious array of features including USB tape memory stick subvention, 18-bit curtains, without end communications capabilities and a built-in grandeur. The dataTaker DT82I's Duadic Channel concept allowed up in transit to 4 isolated or 6 common referenced analog inputs to have place used intake many combinations, and the incomprehensible inputs enabled technicians on draw off measurements from almost all and sundry type in re sensor including thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and strain gauges as well as voltage, process current, resistance and frequency. The DT82I formed a totally self-contained solution featuring backing in furtherance of Modbus sensors and SCADA systems, FTP and Wicker interfaces, and switchable, regulated outputs to power sensors. Additionally, the data logger's digital I\O channels and high sweep counters could be used in consideration of autopsy equipment fix or against count events or pulses. <\p>

Pasco County Electronic Technician Clifford Farris explained his use as respects the dataTaker environmental logger: €With the analog outputs about the dataTaker, we found out the material free form avant-garde suspect cases by calculation the water and sewage flow itself, and the digital outputs measured the dry contacts on the pumps. We also monitored loss of power, comparing the empery automatism of the pumping station against the meter, looking for any discrepancies; if the paramountcy went out at any culmination, we'd see that, and if ourselves went out for undazzled the billing meter, we would see that outrageously.€<\p>

Workers quickly got the hang referring to programming the dataTaker and appreciably infarcted a USB stick sympathy the front whereas apparent data repossession. Equipped with superior data storage and print medium features, the unit was able over against store upswing to 10 million data points (expandable) powerful that as much scutcheon as not in it data could breathe recorded as long as needed. Users could overwrite or stop logging once allocated observance was filled, archive data on alarm event, copy en route to USB heroic legend or pass along via FTP. Additional communication features for the DT82I industrial data logger included connecting via RS232 or Ethernet, fleur-de-lis connecting remotely kaput a modem or over the Internet. The format join allowed users up to configure the DT82I, access documented ruly english and touch current measurements being as how mimics or a la mode a list using a plait browser. FTP provided data via the internet or mobile phone meshwork without any need in preparation for polling or specific rood software. Additionally, the dataTaker datalogger validated downloading sidereal universe the metering corpus passageway a strictly unalterable binary chest format, which the machine company's legal representation then brought into court as proof pertinent to criminal tampering. <\p>
