FLOOD SERIES The flood series of radio transmitters and GPRS transmitters are have been specifically designed as a solution to flood or leak damage in buildings and for remote locations. The radio transmitters are connected to a highly responsive flood detection cable. These cables can be run along key areas enabling rapid notification of water leakage before serious damage can be done. The flood cable consists of eight cores wrapped around a central strain relief plastic core to provide some rigidity. Of the eight cores, two are the conductors. These are uninsulated copper so, if the cable comes into contact with water, it will short and provide an alarm signal. The cable is sheathed in a black plastic overbraid to keep the cores in place and to prevent the conductors shorting on any metal surfaces the cable may run over. The obvious inherent advantages of the flood series are that the units offer low installation costs and a minimal wiring solution. Each sensor is either powered by its own internal battery, which can last up to 2 years and is easily replaced or by an external 12V DC power supply. See page 2 for more information. The GSM transmitters can be used with float switches to detect a risk of flood in remote locations with immediate SMS alerts. See page 4 for more information.

Outdoor/Remote Monitoring For a cost effective solution the flood cable is connected to the wireless transmitter via an inline junction box using low cost 2-core signal cable. This allows the transmitter to be located in a good radio position and avoids running the specialist cable down walls or along floors which do not require flood monitoring. When the flood cable is shorted by water, the transmitter unit immediately sends a change of status signal six times to the receiving equipment. This multiple transmission is to ensure the signal is received straight away. Additionally, the RadioLog system can also be fitted with an alarm relay which triggers for example an autodialler, for out of hours instant notification. Another built in feature of RadioLog is the ability to sends email and SMS messages. For SMS messages additional hardware is required.

Outdoor/Remote Monitoring The flood series of radio transmitters have also been used to monitor water levels in outdoor and remote environments. The unit has a battery life expectancy of up to 2 years, creating a long term solution with easy access for battery replacement. The system stores up to eight telephone numbers for sending SMS messages to. Once an alarm has been registered the alarm message is sent to the first programmed number. If there is no response the other numbers are called in order until a response is received. The delay time for a response is user programmable. The Alarm message contains alarm number, alarm information and site name. All set up is done via USB interface using the simple setup program, which is supplied free. A heartbeat message can be programmed at user-defined intervals, low battery text message is sent on low battery. SIM card required. 1. Normal conditions The GPRS transmitter saves battery life by resorting to a sleep mode. 2. Flood conditions The GPRS transmitter wakes when activity occurs. The float turns upside down and the unit sends SMS alert to the programmed contacts. 1. 2.
