| | Water Quality Monitoring Stations (WQMS)
Introduction The PDS Water Quality Monitoring Station (WQMS2080) is designed to provide organisations with an automatic means of continuously monitoring the water quality of ponds, streams, sewers, drains and watercourses etc in-situ. Liquid trade waste effluent being discharged from manufacturing and processing facilities is a concern not only for the environment but can also impact on the production and efficiency of the facility. The PDS Water Quality Monitoring Station is a stand-alone station with the only cabling need being the cabling to the sensors and to any control equipment being switched by the station. The power for the station and sensors is typically supplied by solar panels and a rechargeable backup battery but can be supplied by other means such as 240VAC mains supply (with standby, battery backup), diesel generator or wind generator. Communications to the station can be made either by direct connect (Ethernet, USB or RS-232) with a PC or by Wi-Fi radio connection or other modem (GSM, 3G or satellite). Applications ► Monitoring of streams and rivers and water storage bodies.► Intermediate and final effluent treatment monitoring.► Hydrological run-off studies.► Industrial process monitoring.► Sludge and dredge monitoring.

Typical features ► Monitor & log readings from a variety of sensors; ► Large memory > 5 million sensor data points; ► LCD for the viewing data on site; ► Solar powered; ► Digital I/O's for switching on/off control gear such as aerators and pumps (for cost efficiency); ► Capable of handling up to 15 analogue sensors (more if sensors are SDI-12, Modbus or RS-232); ► Transmitting the data wirelessly to a PC for displaying real-time data (using Wi-Fi radio); ► Alarm out by sending alert emails or switching on/off external equipment. |
