SCADA-Ready Monitoring & Automation
Guaranteeing Compliance and Uptime
Remote tank level, leak detection, gas safety, and telemetry — engineered for one source of truth. We specify sensors, RTUs, and communications that integrate cleanly with your HMI/SCADA so alarms are trusted and audits are defensible.

Monitoring System Capabilities
Level Technologies
80-GHz radar for vapor/foam-tolerant continuous level · Ultrasonic for open basins & clear airspace · Guided wave radar for tall/complex tanks · Discrete switches for overfill & secondary alarms
Signal & Power Standards
4-20 mA w/ HART, pulse, and Modbus options · 24 VDC control, surge protection, clean grounding · Cal/scale routines and naming conventions (LIT-###)
RTUs & Endpoints
Cellular RTUs (Telog class) for remote lift stations · ORION/BEACON cellular endpoints for meters · SCADA protocols: Modbus, DNP3; mapped tag sets · Edge alarming to reduce network chatter
Proactive Safety — Leak & H₂S Detection
Floor/well sensors and containment basins with alarm I/O · Fixed H₂S monitors at lift stations with alarm relays & periodic bump-test · Acoustic leak detection loggers for non-revenue water loss
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal of SCADA-ready monitoring and automation?
One source of truth — unifying remote tank level, leak detection, gas safety, and telemetry into a single SCADA/HMI system so alarms are trusted and audits are defensible.
How does acoustic leak detection work in distribution networks?
Acoustic loggers detect the sound signature of leaks across distribution networks, supporting non-revenue water loss detection without excavation.
What reduces alarm nuisance rates in a monitoring system?
Correctly specified deadbands, alarm priority, and latching/acknowledgement standards — a mis-specified sensor with the wrong threshold is the most common cause of nuisance trips.
