Introduction
Permalog® Plus is the very latest in a highly successful line of permanent and semi-
permanent leak noise loggers. This logger can be used as both a traditional leak noise
logger, and as a "drive by" logger.
Permalog® Plus leak noise loggers are deployed throughout the water distribution net-work
to provide continuous surveying of leakage. Each Permalog® Plus unit adapts itself
automatically to its environment. If no leak is present a signal is transmitted to indicate
normal background conditions, however, as soon as a possible leak is detected, the
Permalog® Plus unit enters an alarm state and transmits a signal to indicate a leak
condition. The logger also incorporates an LED to display the leak status visually.
Following a rise in unaccounted for water, or at standard intervals, a leakage patrol is
carried out in the area using the Permalog® Patroller module. Leak status information from
the loggers is displayed on the PDA screen of the Patroller module and stored in the
memory.
With no cables or hard installation, Permalog® Plus is simply fitted to a metal fixture within
the chamber (usually a hydrant or valve) and left alone. Logging times, Patrol times and
Transmission times are fully customisable ensuring the operator gets the most benefit from
the system and can configure it to their advantage. With integrated Bluetooth technology, the
Permalog® Plus logger offers easy management through the PDA and Patroller Interface
Unit. Permalog® Plus can be fully configured without having to be removed from the
chamber.
