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. Permalog® Plus — Local Thinking, Global Capabilities 4 Benefits of Use Operational Benefits • 100% of distribution system permanently monitored. • Finds more leaks more quickly than traditional methods. • Responds rapidly to new mains bursts, improving service to customers. • Automates and de-skills leak surveying, eliminating human error and finding leaks that would otherwise be missed. • Eliminates "stop tap bashing" (surveying using listening sticks). • Operates independently of the size, structure or integrity of the area being monitored. • Completely non-invasive method with no detrimental effects on supply to customers (preferred alternative to step testing). • Improves overall detection efficiency and motivation by enabling skilled staff to concentrate on finding "known" leaks and avoid wasting time in no-leak areas. • Operates continuously for up to 5 years (dependant on configuration), enabling a low leakage level to be maintained easily. • Bluetooth and RF technology allow wireless configuration on site. • Logging can be fully customised to fit customer’s requirements. Economic Benefits • Survey costs cut by >90% with elimination of surveying using listening sticks • Dramatic productivity gain - one person can survey several DMA's (District Metered Areas) per day. • Record low leakage levels attainable and easily maintained. • Low installation cost and no maintenance costs enable rapid payback, with in- creasing profits per year. • No night work required for leak surveying. • Negligible incremental cost of additional surveys. • Highly attractive return on capital employed. • Lower leakage level reduces cost of water into supply. • Demonstrates high technology benefits to regulator, customers, shareholders and international clients. With over 200,000 units deployed worldwide, it’s easy to see why the Permalog range is one of the most highly respected Leak Noise Loggers in the industry.

Permalog® Plus — Local Thinking, Global Capabilities 5 Warnings Canadian warning statement "Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication." "This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device." "Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante." "Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement." FCC warning statement: • This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not…
