Wireless monitoring of water levels in a reservoir
Pump stations and reservoirs can be many kilometers apart. To send the level information via a cabled link is impractical and costly.
Monitoring the level on a reservoir requires a reliable link that gives feedback from the reservoir to the pump station.

In a pumping scheme the reservoir level needs to be sent to the pump station where a PLC or control circuit will switch the pump on or off based on the reservoir level.
A radio link, however, will overcome the obstacles associated with vast distances, and is also a cost-effective alternative.
With a radio link in place, fault-finding a radio system is now limited to the two sites compared to a whole cable run.
Tabateq's industrial wireless solution
- The Elpro 105 range of telemetry modules are ideal for this application as the module comes with digital analogue and pulse I/O on the unit.
- The units are simple to install and come with easy to use configuration software which is expandable according to the amount of I/O needed.
- Data is transferred reliably and securely and distances of up to 40km per hop can be covered on licensed channels.
