FCS - Model PermaNET+ Hydrophone -Fixed Network Leak Detection System

High performance hydrophones: better performance over long pipe lengths, large diameter pipes and plastic pipes
Frequent logging: establishes the noise profile and profile alarms for precise immediate leakage alarms
Determine leak size: by matching daily alarms with flow data to enable leak alerts to be prioritised
Telemetry: NBIoT/LTE-based cellular communication as standard with fallback 4G capability
Secondary validation:
Aqualog - detailed noise histogram to reduce ‘false positives’
Audio - remotely listen to the noise
Remote correlation to localise leak position
Fully waterproof: the IP68 rating has been tested at 10m depth over a 24 hour period
PermaNET Web: software supports
Correlation: select GIS file formats
Map view: Remote reconfiguration
Aqualog: Filtering
Variable sampling: sample times can be changed remotely through PermaNET Web or via IDT software

Easy to use: compatible with HWM Deployment app. Select features can be programmed through PermaNET Web
External antennas: support improved signal strength (contact FCS for more information)
Long-term monitoring: typical 5 years battery life (depending on settings and signal strength)
Standard 1.5" thread: can be adapted to fit any wet fitting including meter boxes, hydrants and pressure taps (with additional convertors/caps)

Once installed, leak data is calculated using the proven Permalog algorithm, and data is transmitted via low cost cellular telemetry. This removes the requirement for expensive site visits and “drive by” data retrieval.

PermaNET+ Hydrophone transmits data through an integral modem with 4G, LTE-M (Cat-1) and other NBIoT cellular options available.

PermaNET+ Hydrophone allows leakage teams to monitor the status of each logger deployed from map based host software using any internet enabled device.

Leaks are identified immediately and once the presence of a leak has been identified, secondary measures can be used to check and remove false positives` and also to localise the leak position.
