Sensaphone remote monitoring systems can be connected to a variety of sensors and accessories to keep tabs on basic environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and water detection, security and power failures. All of these sensors require one of four output types to work with Sensaphone devices: 2.8k, 10k, dry contact (digital), or 4-20mA (analog). In addition to monitoring those sensor outputs, some Sensaphone devices can monitor pulse counts and runtimes — useful capabilities for water/wastewater and HVAC applications

The Sensaphone Sentinel has found a home in many varying applications...from monitoring valuable greenhouse inventory to monitoring the temperature in refrigerators storing critical vaccines during a pandemic. The Sentinel also monitors many pump and lift stations that keep the water running in your community and to the livestock in farms and barns. Most often our products are installed by trained installers or electricians, but they are actually simple enough to be installed by most do-it-yourselfers.

Remote monitoring is critical to your operations. Without a reliable monitoring solution, you have no way of knowing when issues occur after hours unless you have personnel at the facility 24/7. Even then, you run the risk of overlooking equipment issues or status changes that cannot be detected without the appropriate sensors and monitoring system installed.

Improving Monitoring at Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

One of the biggest challenges in managing water and wastewater facilities is the need for constant oversight and real-time visibility to ensure optimal operations while preventing potential issues. Facilities must provide safe drinking water and protect the environment from contaminants. This requires continuous monitoring of conditions like pump status, flow rates, equipment status and tank level.

Selecting the Right Sensors for Cleanroom Monitoring

Many manufacturing and research processes require a clean production environment where operators can control factors like temperature, airflow, humidity and airborne particulates. These work areas must maintain specific parameters to ensure that environmental conditions don't compromise the products in any way.

When controlled environments don’t meet standards to prevent particle contamination, operators must maintain designated cleanrooms. Operations that require cleanrooms include electronics production, pharmaceutical processes, medical and scientific research, aerospace manufacturing and optics development.
