Wireless Monitoring of the Operating Parameters of a Pressure Reducing Chamber using the Nemos N210 Datalogger

Many of the drinking water systems need to be permanently monitored to detect failures or disturbances in a timely manner; In this sense, this article describes a solution for the monitoring of pressure reducing chambers (PRC) through the integration of communication protocols GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), through of the use of the NEMOS N210 datalogger. Initially, the system architecture, the components used and their implementation are described. The collection of data related to the operation of the PCR was carried out, these being the pressure, flow and volume. The results allow us to conclude that the implementation of this type of technology in the drinking water distribution system is viable, since the data that was transmitted wirelessly shows that the inlet pressure to the PCR is effectively regulated. While in the case of volume and flow values, the measured values were within the established values, reaching a value of 627,104.20 m3 for volume and 66,409 l/s for flow.
