In-Sewer Device Offers Real-Time Alarms to Prevent Spills

The Manhole Monitor from Mission Communications is a rugged in-sewer alarm and reporting system purpose-built for proactive sewer monitoring programs.

Floats tipped by surcharges and high levels signal Mission servers to initiate notifications delivered by any combination of phone call, text message, e-mail, fax and/or pager. Reliable, encrypted data is transmitted via 4G cellular radios and stored by the Mission system. Secure Web portals display the date, time and duration of each event and can be accessed by desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices. Reports and data can be downloaded for record-keeping or regulatory compliance reporting.

The Manhole Monitor is waterproof, corrosion-resistant and built to withstand the toughest environments. The intrinsically safe device meets requirements for use in Class 1, Div 1 hazardous environments and is designed and tested to IP68 specifications.

Startup is easy, with a 16-character, multilingual LCD that validates proper operation and displays optional advanced configuration settings. The device can be installed with common tools and does not require manhole-cover modifications or entry into the manhole.
