The M800 is a complete wireless monitoring and remote control system that enables users to identify trends with real-time streaming data and provides the ability to automatically or manually control remote assets.

The M-110 has a solar power mode and makes a perfect low power rainfall measurement system. MISSION offers the M-110 pre-packaged and wired to perform remote rainfall measurements.  This package includes a stand which ensures sturdy mounting, holds the solar panel and antenna, and has a built in leveling plate for the rain gauge. The stand holds the rain gauge three feet off the ground as recommended by the USGS for rain gauge stations.

Proper operation of a PRV station is essential to providing a reliable supply of water for both domestic consumption and fire protection. As either primary or backup SCADA, Mission RTUs can help ensure that pipe pressures are within the appropriate range.

Every water and wastewater system has many large water meters. Mission M110s read those meters automatically on a daily basis. By simply outfitting the meter with a pulsing output a Mission RTU will totalize the pulses (gallons) and send an hourly or daily total. Create trend reports showing where the water is being used. All water use data can be accessed in table or graph form from your secure customer web site.

The Mission M800 is ideally suited for monitoring and controlling water booster stations. The M800 can monitor and display the pump run status for up to eight pumps. It has the same underlying main circuit board as the M110, but is supplied with an advanced cellular data modem. This standardization means field personnel only have to learn one type of unit. These data modems allow virtually continuous information of pump station operation. The operator can see pumps turn on and off, and pressure levels rise and fall in real time, and track system pressures over time with ease.

The MyDro 150 and 850 have all of the functionality of the M110 and M800, with an onboard interactive display and enhanced electronics. Each remote terminal unit (RTU) includes the necessary hardware for a standard installation—such as a cellular radio, enclosure, backup battery, transformer, and an antenna with a cable and mounting hardware. Purpose-built RTUs simplify and speed installation. There is no programming required, and RTUs are self-enrolling.

Track Manhole Surcharges and Overflows; Avoid spills and high-level conditions with early notifications. Floats tipped by surcharges and high levels signal Mission servers to initiate notifications via phone call, email, text message, fax, and/or pager. The secure web portal displays the date, time, and duration of the events.

The M110 and MyDro M150 are appropriate for monitoring most duplex lift stations. Two digital inputs (DIs) are typically used to monitor pump runtimes and starts.  Another DI is used for high-level float monitoring and alarming purposes. The other DIs are available for items like phase fault, seal fail, or hatch door. The M800 or MyDro 850 RTU is appropriate at master lift or pump stations, where real-time level information (every two minutes or 5% change) or other analog trending is desired. Additional insight of the master lift stations is available with real-time pump state changes on up to 8 pumps. This additional information allows additional flow reporting as described below.

The Tank and Well system maintains the water level in storage tanks by automatically sending commands that signal remote well or booster pumps to turn on and off. The system relies on either a  MyDro 850 or M800 remote terminal unit (RTU) and a transducer to measure the tank level. There are no radio networks, computers, or PLCs to maintain. It is low-cost and easy to set up.

Mission remote terminal units (RTUs) can connect to industry-standard rainfall tipping buckets and report rainfall totals. Monitor rainfall events and totals in real-time and gain precious minutes to prepare for floods and avoid spills. Graph rainfall on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to analyze wet weather events in great detail. Rainfall data can be exported to Excel spread sheets, CSV files, or can be fed into existing SCADA systems via the Mission OPC software link.
