Acoustic leak detection
The Permalog 3 is the latest in a highly successful line of permanent and portable acoustic leak loggers. The battery powered logger simply sits on the mains water pipe via magnetic force and periodically sends a "no leak" health message via an embedded RF module, or an instantaneous alarm in the case of leak detected.
Debriefing the logger is simple either via a "drive by" method or a "fixed" cellular communications network. The Permalog 3 has an enhanced radio range compared to other noise loggers currently on the market thanks to our VHF high power embedded radios, which in turn allow for faster drive by patrols and less hardware requirements within a fixed comms network.
For manual inspection the logger has an integrated LED which flashes red to indicate a leak and flashes green to indicate a "no-leak" status. Data can be downloaded with the Permalog 3 interrogator "cowl" using high power infrared communications. The data transmissions of the loggers can also be remotely programmed by the operator for data analysis or battery autonomy reasons.
The Permalog 3 is used world wide and is recognised as one of the leading leak detection systems the world over.

We currently have products approved for operation on MPT1340, MPT1341, MPT1328, MPT1329, MPT1411, EN 300 220, EST 300 220, ETS 300 683, FCC-part-90, FCC-part-15, Australia standards, AS and the new R&TTE directive. We manufacture a range of professional radio modems called the rtcom. These include the Global which is approved to ETS 300 220, Australia Standards, FCC Part-90 and MPT1329. The other modems include the Universal which is approved to MPT 1340 and ETS 300 220. All products are EMC Class-1 certified to ETS-300-683. For long range, radio modem, radio communication links we have the Outback. This
The Outback is available as both modems and telemetry systems. These modems are ideal for scanning telemetry and SCADA applications and are 100% MODBUS transparent.
