Phocus3m acoustic leak logger

Manufacturer: Ovarro
The Phocus3m acoustic leak logger provides accurate and reliable water leak monitoring across wide water network areas. Its GSM data transmission and high-sensitivity antenna ensure stable communication even in challenging underground or high-interference environments. The integrated modem with SIM card enables remote data upload and real-time monitoring. The logger is fully compatible with the PrimeWeb analytics platform, allowing seamless data processing, analysis and long-term performance tracking. Phocus3m can be used for: permanent leak monitoring on distribution mains, semi-permanent installations, or diagnostic “Lift and Shift” surveys, where the logger is periodically relocated between different network zones.
