SureCross™ Wireless Network—Waste Water Management
In today’s environment o ever-increasing regulatory standards imposedby both industry and government, the task o monitoring and accuratelymeasuring levels o polluted waste water is vital to the standard operation
o any acility.
The ability to efciently measure and collect data is an issue not only o resource management but also o compliance and accountability.
This leaves operators with a choice—they must fnd a way to meet theregulatory standards or be orced to shut down until they can.
ProblemMonitor the liquid content o multiple wells distributed across 441square miles o land-fll.
Liquid level measurement must be taken 125 eet below ground level.To operate, the site must satisy all permit requirements and stay withinits budget.
Ground-based wiring intereres with earth-moving machinery. Linepower is not an option.
The monitoring system must have an accredited data-logging capabilitybuilt in.
The data must be available remotely at a location where sta dispatches pumping vehicles to keep the liquid within approved levels.

Banner’s experience and knowledge in sensor development, paired with their battery-powered wireless system creates a simple turnkey customer solution.
Ater careul consideration o several systems, the operators o the landfll determined that the Banner Wireless system was the only solution that couldmeet all imposed standards and seamlessly co-exist with other devices already in place at their site.
With the help o integrator Wilson Mohr, they were able to create a system that could take data rom below ground and make it accessible at the desk othe end user.
The SolutionOne battery powered Node at the top o each well powers the radio and the ultrasonic analog level sensor.
Each Node is equipped with a specialized low-power 4-20 mA analog level sensor developed by Banner, The Sensor Specialist.
One 10-30V dc powered Gateway controls the system.
The Data Radio and Modbus master controller module enhance portability o data.
Red Lion G3 HMI equipped with an Ethernet interace enables multi-user access or night and day operators.
Omni-directional antenna extends range o Gateway-Node communication up and over the hill and across the landfll site.

Advantages
There is no need or panel abrication. Two screws hold the Banner wireless device in place.
Cutting-edge power management capabilities and an internal battery eliminate long haul cabling.
A greatly-reduced cost o installation.
All Banner wireless devices are weatherproo and can be sealed to comply with IP67 ratings.
Simple removal and/or reconnect when necessary as the pits fll in and re-open.
Banner wireless devices use a standard Modbus communication protocol or simple interoperability.
Banner wireless devices combine the radio with all I/O in one box, minimizing the cost o parts and maintenance.
Banner wireless devices have built-in diagnostic properties that send out alarms prior to complete shutdown, minimizing down time.
Banner’s SureCross wireless system is completely scalable and can adapt as the operators fll in and create new wells.
