Collecting data on zero power
Jekyll Electronic Technology
Pulsar Telelog
Jekyll Electronic Technology says its Pulsar Telelog is a major innovation for companies wishing to add alarm status telemetry at remote facilities
Operating without external power or batteries, this ruggedcompact unit combines a standalone data logger with line poweredmodem technology for easy maintenance and installation onexisting telecommunication infrastructures.
Checking the batterylife of a network of modems can be a logistical difficulty.Battery monitoring equipment at best give only a rough indicationof charge capacity so frequent visits have to be made.
Since thePulsar Telelog is powered directly by the telephone line, thereis no need to make these checks and with remote diagnostics alsoincorporated, telemetry costs are driven down further still.Applications are numerous.
As well as counting pulse electricity,water and gas meters, it can check mechanical switch status forwater level or tank contents level indicators, intruderdetection, flow failure detection, leak detection, and plantfailure monitors.
Once an alarm condition arises, the Telelogsends a message to a centralised terminal, mobile phone or pager.This system has met a positive response and Jekyll hopes manyindustries, from supermarkets monitoring daily energy consumptionto distribution companies checking cooling systems at remoteplants, will benefit.
