Triton Series Data Logger: Product Overview
The Triton Series of data loggers are designed to cover a multitude of data logging applications with a minimal selection of products. All use the same solid foundation and architecture in the data logging structure but with variations on their capability means we have a data logger for every application.
With options of pressure and/or flow sensors either internally fitted or externally connected using MIL C Spec connectors means the sensor ranges and capabilities are limitless.
With user-selectable data logging regimes and various logging, frequencies mean the battery life is greater than 5 years when used at 15-minute intervals with the additional ability to store data as instantaneous, minimum, maximum and average measurements based on the sampling rate selected.
Measurements down to 1 second are possible from the standard logger or 1khz for the transient-specific logger. The logger stores data in non-volatile flash memory organised into data files. The memory will retain data for 10 years if the battery fails.
Measurement accuracy is optimised using multi-point calibration. Logged data can be re-calibrated before, during or after the recording by simply re-calibrating the sensor to the logger.
Downloading of data is via a fast non-contact IrDA communications link (115,200 baud). The logger software can also be upgraded in the field via the IrDA communications link.
The Triton range of data loggers is completely waterproof and fully submersible to 10m depth.
Applications Include:
The pressure/PRV monitoring capability of the Triton Series Data Logger is essential for maintaining optimal water distribution system performance. By continuously recording pressure data and monitoring Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs), operators can quickly identify abnormal fluctuations, prevent pipe bursts, and ensure that pressure levels remain within safe and efficient ranges.
When it comes to critical point monitoring, the Triton Series Data Logger excels at tracking pressure and flow at key locations within a water network. These critical points are often the most vulnerable or strategically important, so real-time data collection helps utilities respond rapidly to issues and maintain system integrity.
Zone pressure monitoring is another vital application, allowing utilities to segment their networks and monitor pressure in specific zones. This targeted approach helps in identifying localized issues, optimizing pressure management, and improving overall service reliability for customers in different areas.
For water resource management, the Triton Series Data Logger is invaluable in monitoring weirs, reservoirs, and borehole depth. By providing accurate and continuous level measurements, the logger supports effective management of water storage, extraction, and distribution, ensuring that supply meets demand and that resources are used sustainably.
Leakage flow-monitoring is a critical function for reducing water loss and improving network efficiency. The Triton Series Data Logger can detect unusual flow patterns that may indicate leaks, enabling utilities to take swift corrective action and minimize both water loss and associated costs.
During step testing, the data logger is used to systematically isolate sections of the network and measure flow changes. This process helps identify areas with potential leaks or inefficiencies, supporting proactive maintenance and reducing non-revenue water.
The Triton Series Data Logger also plays a key role in hydraulic network analysis. By collecting detailed pressure and flow data across the network, it enables engineers to model system behavior, optimize operations, and plan for future upgrades or expansions.
Pressure surge detection is crucial for protecting infrastructure from sudden changes in pressure that can cause damage or service interruptions. The logger’s high-frequency data capture allows for the early identification of surges, helping utilities implement protective measures and maintain system stability.
In the context of rainfall monitoring, the Triton Series Data Logger can be connected to rain gauges to record precipitation events. This data is essential for managing stormwater, predicting flood risks, and planning water resource allocation.
The logger’s ability to track pump ON/OFF times provides valuable insights into pump performance and energy usage. By analyzing this data, operators can optimize pump schedules, reduce energy costs, and extend equipment lifespan.
Finally, minimum night flow analysis is a powerful tool for detecting leaks and assessing network health during periods of low demand. The Triton Series Data Logger records flow rates during the night, when usage is minimal, making it easier to spot anomalies that may indicate hidden leaks or unauthorized consumption.
