What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows
The RS-45 is the standout for LibertyCES scope — the only unit on the page explicitly scoped to both drinking water and wastewater by name, and the only one supporting wired power rather than battery-only, which is the real distinction between a permanent treatment-plant install and an unmanned field deployment. The PIPEMINDER 128-samples-per-second capture with pressure-waveform classification and event-source triangulation is high enough resolution for burst/transient forensics rather than periodic level checks. Two products (PFE-32A, iLR-32A) are marked Discontinued on the vendor's own site and should be published as reference-only, not quotable.
Materials documented for this service
- Not a wetted-material selection — accuracy class, power source and operating temperature are the real selection axes
- Discontinued and flagged as such by the vendor: Telog PFE-32A Pulse Frequency Event Recorder and iLR-32A Current Loop Recording Monitor

Two Telog units on this same product line — the PFE-32A Pulse Frequency Event Recorder and the iLR-32A Current Loop Recording Monitor — are explicitly marked 'Availability: Discontinued' on the vendor's own site; treat them as reference-only in an existing installation, not as specifiable for a new one.
Every other Telog unit in this line is battery-only with a 4.5-5 year service life, fine for a remote, unmanned field deployment but wrong for a permanent treatment-plant install where the RTU needs to run indefinitely. The RS-45 is the one model in the family that supports wired power as an alternative — the real spec distinction for a fixed plant installation, not accuracy class alone — and it's why Badger Meter names it specifically for both drinking water and wastewater applications rather than distribution-network monitoring generically.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
FAQ
Is Pressure / Leak Monitoring RTU compatible with Water/Aqueous?
The RS-45 is the standout for LibertyCES scope — the only unit on the page explicitly scoped to both drinking water and wastewater by name, and the only one supporting wired power rather than battery-only, which is the real distinction between a permanent treatment-plant install and an unmanned field deployment. The PIPEMINDER 128-samples-per-second capture with pressure-waveform classification and event-source triangulation is high enough resolution for burst/transient forensics rather than periodic level checks. Two products (PFE-32A, iLR-32A) are marked Discontinued on the vendor's own site and should be published as reference-only, not quotable. This is strong evidence.
