Justin Poehler, Technical Support Analyst, had this to say about the Crystal Ball “The Crystal Ball is an excellent security alarm monitor for water towers and pump stations. The fact that customers can hook up multiple cameras to give them a real-time look at their location, is a real “plus” for the customer. With new water security regulations, CMOM compliance and the Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, water and wastewater utilities have a lot on their minds, and OmniSite believes the Crystal Ball will help with the process of meeting the criteria of these regulations.” Click here to read the Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002,Bioterrorism Act.

Devastates the East Coast

Greenwood, Indiana – September 15, 2004 – OmniSite (www.omnisite.com), the leader in low cost easy to use monitoring equipment for the wastewater industry, today announced that on August 13th and 14th, Florida and South Carolina were devastated by Hurricane Charley. Around 4 PM on August 13th, Hurricane Charley crossed and struck land just North of Fort Myers in Punta Gorda, Florida. The Hurricane had winds of 145 mph and wind gusts up to 180 mph. With winds that strong it was classified as a Category 4 Hurricane. The National Weather Service categorizes Hurricanes on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the strongest. 

The Hurricane continued Northeast through Orlando, finally leaving Florida through Daytona Beach. Unfortunately the storm was not over, on Saturday August 14th around 11 AM the Hurricane again hit land this time in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. By this time the winds had slowed down, but with strong winds, the storm was still considered a Category 1 Hurricane. All in all, Hurricane Charley caused 14 billion dollars of damage and caused 17 deaths. 

OmniSite had several customers in the path of the Hurricane, including City of Fort Myers, Florida (35 Units) and the City of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (100 units). One bit of good news was that these cities were using OmniSite’s wireless alarm monitors to watch over their sewage lift stations, and the equipment worked flawlessly. 

Robert Graineri, an Information Systems Technician for the City of Myrtle Beach, had this to say about the OmniSite equipment “We want to thank (OmniSite) for all the hard work that went into the OmniSite system. It worked great!! Our supervisors could not have been more pleased with the results generated by the OmniSite product and staff!” 

OmniSite sends its deepest regrets to the victims and family members effected by Hurricane Charley. For more information on how to monitor your sewage lift station or other piece of equipment with OmniSite wireless alarm monitors, please contact OmniSite at 317-885-6330.

>OMNISITE PUTS "PRESSURE" ON COMPETITION WITH THE I-LEVEL

Releases its Submersible Level Transducer

Greenwood, Indiana – September 1, 2004 – OmniSite (www.omnisite.com), the leader in low cost easy to use monitoring equipment for the wastewater industry, today announced the release of the I-Level Submersible Level Transducer. How can OmniSite improve the best lift station monitor in the world? By combining it with the best submersible pressure sensor in the world! 

Determine the level in your well, tank or any other storage vessel using OmniSite’s I-Level Submersible Level Transmitter. This unit is optimized for use in applications where coating and fouling can disable other submersible transducers. The I-Level uses a ceramic sensor to measure Fluid level. Other Sensors are damaged with a simple “tap” on the sensor diaphram. Not the I-Level! 

The I-Level is a submersible level transmitter with a ceramic pressure sensor for the level measurement of liquids. The I-Level is available with nine permanently calibrated measuring ranges from 3 to 600 ftH20 to ensure use in all standard applications (optional application specific range). Due to its compact outer diameter of only 0.87″ (22mm), it is ideal for use in 1″ well casings as well. 

The I-Level is a loop-powered self-contained 4 to 20mA device. The hydrostatic column acts directly on the ceramic diaphram. The deflection of the diaphram generates a change in the capacitance of the sensor. The transmitter electronics, which is located in the 316L SS probe, converts the capacitance change to a repeatable and accurate 4 to 20 mA output signal. 

The competively priced I-Level comes standard with a 60 foot cable and a 0 – 20 foot measuring range. Call your local distributor for more information.
