DATA LOGGERS RANGE

SOFREL LX
SOLUTIONS FOR WATER NETWORK MONITORING
DATA LOGGERS - SOFREL LX
MAKING WATER NETWORKS
INTELLIGENT AND ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
The SOFREL LX range is composed of Data Loggers specifically designed
for water networks. Waterproof, offering autonomy of up to ten years
thanks to their high-capacity lithium battery, and equipped with a high-
performance 2G/3G antenna, LX Data Loggers are compatible with the
instrumentation present in water networks.
Very simple to implement and easy to operate thanks to their SOFREL
PCWin2 and WEB LS centralisation software programs, LX Data Loggers
are also open to all SCADA central stations on the market and third-party
applications of the major water operators.

With functions entirely dedicated to water, the SOFREL LS range offers

a complete solution for remote reading, district metering or dynamic
management of pressure levels in drinking water distribution networks.
The SOFREL LT range enables contract operators to meet their self-
monitoring obligations and to establish continuous diagnostics for their
waste water network.

• District metering: average flow – nighttime flow • According to consumption constraints of
daily balance energy-intensive sensors

• Rain gauge: rain intensity • According to measurement needs, adapted in line with:
- The flow conditions (dry weather, wet weather,
crisis periods)
• Self-monitoring: daily volume, flow,
- The analysis time slot (night/day)
number and duration of overflows

... to optimise Data Logger operation:

Definition of threshold values for • Consumption
real-time network monitoring:
• Upstream or downstream pipe breakage • Appropriate measurement, in response
to self-monitoring
• Abnormal pressure level identification
• Communication costs by controlling the volume
• Self-monitoring: overflow alert of data transmitted to the supervision system
