Sensus AMI Integration

Obtaining Remote Water Quality Data from Anywhere

Halogen Systems’ new sensor offers maintenance-free unattended remote water quality monitoring for up to six months. NSF61 Certified and suitable for direct in pipe measurement, chlorine, pH, conductivity, and temperature parameters are all available on one sensor. This makes it suitable for use almost anywhere in the distribution system.

What it Measures

The sensor monitors essential water quality indicators

Monochloramine or Free chlorine

PH, conductivity, and temperature. It employs bare electrodes for self-cleaning capabilities, ensuring accuracy over six months without calibration. Measurements are adjusted for temperature and pH, with the monochloramine sensor also capable of detecting free chlorine.

The new Halogen Interface Module (IM) enables two SENSUS Smart Gateways to transmit the data from a Halogen MP Sensor. Four outputs may be selected. The SENSUS System sends a trigger to the IM and measurement parameters are uploaded. Virtually every SENSUS AMI network can be used to monitor water quality data throughout the distribution system.

Versatile Installation

Certified for NSF61, these MP5 and MP6 sensors can be deployed in diverse settings including tanks, pipes under pressures up to 145 PSI, and flow velocities up to 4.5 meters/second. They are particularly adaptable for zero flow conditions, simplifying installation with options for side stream setups.

Remote Power

Power and Interface

A battery-powered version supports six months of operation, ideal for areas lacking traditional power sources. The accompanying mobile app for iOS and Android provides a user-friendly interface for checking readings, diagnostics, and calibration settings. The battery enclosure is rated at IP68.

Maintenance and Compliance

Low Maintenance, High Compliance

Thanks to its self-cleaning mechanism and reduced calibration requirements, the sensor offers significant savings in time and cost. It aids in compliance with regulations like New Jersey SB2188, ensuring water quality standards are met with minimal intervention. This feature also helps in identifying water age issues early, preventing customer dissatisfaction.

Labor Savings and Case Studies

Efficiency and Cost Savings

Real-world application in Orange County, FL, demonstrates significant labor savings by reducing the need for manual sampling, thus cutting labor costs and enhancing operational efficiency. This aligns with broader industry trends towards automation in response to labor shortages.

Conclusion

In summary, Halogen Systems' new sensor not only simplifies water quality monitoring with its maintenance-free operation but also significantly contributes to cost and labor savings, regulatory compliance, and proactive water management.
