CR10X

Datalogger for Measurement & Control

Case Study »  River Heights: Water System Monitoring and Control

Project Summary
Application Type:
Monitoring the water supply of a small town

Location:
River Heights, UT USA

Products Used:
CR10X 

Contracting Agencies:
City of River Heights, Utah

Measured Parameters:
Water level, pump status

Controlled Equipment:
Voice-synthesized alarm calls to employee cellphone

The city of River Heights monitors two reservoirs and three pump houses using a CR10X and Freewave spread-spectrum radios. The control system's primary function is to keep the reservoir water level between high and low set points. A CR10X datalogger at the largest pump house acts as the master to control the system. Status can be checked via a voice-synthesized telephone modem. The system will generate an alarm call to an employee's cellphone based on a problem with reservoir level, a failure in communication between sites, or low system battery voltage.  Reservoir set points can be changed by a PC running RTMC.
