Remote Water Tower Application
This Water Tower application consists of remote monitoring of
the ground level tank and the water tower tank in town. The project
was initiated because the $7K sensor at the remote tank failed and the town
needed to update their controls.
The local electrical contractor did this job using the Banner Engineering
QT50 radar sensor to detect water levels in both the remote tank and the tower
tank. The output of those two
sensors was fed into Banner Engineering’s SureCross Wireless I.O system for
transmission into a Red Lion Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that allows the city
engineering department to monitor the level. The Red Lion HMI also logs the tank
levels and gives the city engineering department remote access to the info via
the Internet.
