CSO and sewer monitoring packaged radio solution

Ultra Link offers the world beating non-contacting ultrasonic level measurement of Pulsar combined with the remote telemetry expertise of Churchill, in a packaged solution for CSO and sewer monitoring.

Ultra Link has been developed to provide the ideal flexible solution to the requirement of CSO and sewer monitoring. A partnered product between Churchill Controls and Pulsar Process Measurement, Ultra Link offers the world beating non-contacting ultrasonic level measurement of Pulsar combined with the remote telemetry expertise of Churchill, in a packaged solution. Ultra Link uses the Pulsar ultrasonic transducer and Datum echo processing which are well suited to meet the often difficult operating conditions found within CSO and sewers, coping with chambers cluttered with potentially interfering structures.

The transducers are certified to ATEX zone 1 as standard (Zone 0 IS is also available).

Ultra Link offers low power radio, leased line or GSM transmission media to allow reporting to the outside world.

Low power radio and leased line can communicate with Nano Link and Micro Link base stations from Churchill.

The base station can then route data into RTUs, SCADA, PLCs or Servers.

The GSM option can transfer data and settings to a PC or Server.

The GSM option also allows any mobile phone to use SMS text messaging to receive alarms/current values and send interrogation/configuration messages.

Ultra Link offers, effective 'real time' reporting of levels, high levels, overflows etc via low power radio or leased line, with local logging backup giving an invaluable source of uninterrupted data.

The local log is adaptive, increasing its logging rate frequency during 'events/spills'.

The GSM option offers further logging capacity based on its 'dial up' operation, and includes facilities to exception report 'events' such as 'high level alarms' or 'spills'.

Ultra Link can be supplied with various power supply options including battery (alkaline D Cells) giving minimum 1 year operation based on a 15 minute sampling frequency basis.
