Because many water facility sites are located in remote areas that lack cellular, internet and phone service, Sensaphone offers the SAT4D satellite-based monitoring system. The system monitors up to four critical conditions 24/7, including tank floats, turbidity, pump status, security, power failure and equipment malfunction, at locations such as pump houses and wells.
When a sensor falls out of the preset range, the system notifies people via phone call, email or text message. This early warning of a possible problem helps to protect valuable assets and prevent costly downtime. Operators can access status information and make programming changes via Sensaphone’s dedicated website.
The SAT4D system is self-powered and can operate for over three years on its replaceable battery in temperatures ranging from -22 to 140 °F (-30 to 60 °C). Each unit is sealed in a weatherproof, locking NEMA-4X enclosure to protect it from harsh conditions or vandalism. GPS technology pinpoints the location of the monitored equipment.
