Automatic Meter Reading
|
 |
|
The Eagle Alert AMR6 reports utility meter readings daily with up to six digits
of index resolution. The AMR6 counts contact closures from the mater and
stores a cumulative reading in non-volatile memory. During installation,
the unit is set to match the meter's reading to allow for occasional
verification of accuracy. Meter readings are reported daily using a
nationwide wireless data network and posted on Eagle Reports. You can
configure the AMR6 to store the reading at a particular time that may be
different from the reporting time to ensure that meter readigns from multiple
meters are comparative.
Eagle Alert provides an inexpensive means of
collecting data from commercial and industrial gas meters in both urban and
rural locations.
|
The system communicates
gas readings using wireless technology to the secure Internet. Using the
user-friendly interface, information can be viewed from anywhere you have a web
connection. The data can be transferred seamlessly to your business
system. Monthly gas reads are primarily used to track the commodity in the
system and to provide for custody transfer. Eagle Alert provides for
accurate custody transfer and allows you to eliminate the costs associated with
sending a person out to remote locations to take reads. In the unbundled
gas market, Eagle Alert provides feedback on actual daily usage of individual
customers to gas marketers so that they may adjust their customer's daily
nominations resulting in better balancing across the gas supply system and
reductions in severe penalties for missing nominations.
Currently, Oklahoma Natural Gas is using Eagle Alert
to monitor their gas meters. "Now, a few minutes after nine each morning,
all of our meters read and send to [Eagle Automation's server in [Corpus
Christi], Texas. By 9:30 am, the data is posted to a file that can be
easily retrieved through the Internet. We directly import
this file to our measurement and accounting systems and post it on the web for
customers and gas brokers to view," explained Chris Spriggs, Operations
Engineer for Oklahoma Natural Gas. ONG is also using Eagle Alert for
daily retrival of corrected volumes from electronic correctors. |

Alarm Point Monitor
|
 |
|
The
Eagle Alert APM4 product reports the state of up to four digital inputs, two of
which can accumulate even counts. The APM4AM can accept analog or digital
signals. Channels 1-4 are selectable as analog (+/-5V or +/-60mV)
or digital. Channel 5 and 6 can be an accumulator or a digital
channel. APM4AM is capable of receiving Pipe to Soil Test point
inputs directly without additional impedance or signal conditioning.
The units can be set to report when under "alarm"
conditions or at pre-configured "health check" intervals. The health
check interval can be as often as ten times per day, as infrequently as once a
month, or can be completely turned off. You can configure alarm
conditions in a variety of ways.
Configuration parameters for each input allows
for alarm masking, filtering, or event configuration. Automatic alarm
notifications can be sent via fax, page, and/or e-mail.
|
We also have available the
new satellite Eagle Alert which allows remote monitoring of equipment in any
location 24/7. The APM4AM-SAT is a satellite version of the popular
cellular-based APM4AM. Set up and use of this new device matches the
functionality of the APM4AM. This new unit used the Inmarsat D+
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit Satellite (GEOS) system for communication.
Inmarsat is a financially stable organization that provides ship to shore
communications via satellite to 150,000+ shipping vessels around the
globe.
Satellite technology is an excellent way to
supplement installations where 100% cellular coverage is not available.
In North America, Eagle Automation makes it easy to use a combination of
cellular control channel and satellite communication to minimize capital
costs. For international use outisde of North America, the APM4AM-SAT is
the ideal way to capture data and alarms from your field equipment.
The APM4AM-SAT monitors many different kinds of
equipment including cathodic protection equipment (rectifers, test points, and
critical bonds), city gates, compressors, storage tanks, pumping stations,
pressure, flow, temperature, and much more. In addition to monitoring
inputs from equipment, the Eagle Alert APM4AM-SAT provides automatic
notifications of alarm events via e-mail, fax, page, and/or voice
notification. With secure access, data can be viewed on the INternet from
anywhere in the world, day or night.
The APM3AM-SAT is capable of monitoring analog and
discrecte inputs and can accomodate up to 6 inputs. It is powered by a
lead acid battery charged by a solar panel or AC charger. For corrosion
applications, it can be used with rectifier interfaces, test point filters, and
surge protection. UL/CUL approval is pending for installation in
hazardous locations. |

ISeries ICP
|
|
|
Eagle
Automation Corporation's Eagle Alert i-series ICP is a satellite based remote
monitoring device that provides scheduled and by exception inbound reporting as
well as two-way communication for on-demand reads and
activating/deactivating ancillary equipment. The device can be field
upgraded to include a MicroMax GPS80 current interrupter enabling the
collecting of IR-free cathodic protection (CP) reads in the most efficient,
economical way possible. The ICP uses the OrbComm satellite system
and enables equipment monitoring and control in very remote locations. It
is ideal for international use.
The ICP monitors many different kinds of equipment in
the cathodic protection industry including rectifiers, test points, and
critical bonds. It is also ideal for monitoring equipment in a number of
other industries. The ICP provides automatic notifications of alrm events
via e-mail, cell phone, or pager. With secure access, data can be
viewed on the Internet from anywhere in the world, day or night.
|
|
The ICP unit is available in 2 and 4 analog channel versions. Both
versions have 6 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs. For CP
applications, analog inputs are available with filtering and surge
protection. The ICP is easy to install since all configuration of the
device takes place via the satellite system, so there is no need for a laptop
computer in the field. It accepts customer supplied AC or DC line power
or DC solar power. In the event of power loss, an internal rechargeable
battery provides backup power. |

Rectifier Interface
|
 |
|
An
optional Rectifier Interface is available to provide signal conditioning and
surge protection between the Eagle Alert APM4AM and the rectifier in a
cathodic protection system. The Rectifier Interface allows the signal
from the rectifier to be turned to the desired lovel for alarm
configuration. It also clamps power surges above 90 volts.

Vibrating Wire Piezometer Monitor
|
 |
|
The
Eagle Alert APM4VW automates the monitoring of vibrating wire piezometers,
which measure pore water pressure in soil and rock. Piezometers enable
engineers to monitor the flow of water through or to obtain an estimate of
strength and stability of soils and rock. Piezometers are also used to
determine safe fill rates, slope stability, dewatering systems used for
excavations, vertical and sand drains, earth fill dams and embankments, and
containment systems at land fills and tailing dams. The device monitors
two virbating wire pressure/strain transducers with thermistor termperature
inputs. There are two sets of inputs on each vibrating wire: a piezometer
frequency reading (level) and a thermistor temperature reading (level
correction). Units can be set to report under "alarm conditions" or at
pre-configured health check intervals. |
