Satellite Monitoring

The new WESROC Satellite Base Unit will work with all currently available WESROC transmitters. This includes the UL-913 listed intrinsically safe fuel transmitters for Propane, Fuel Oil, Diesel and Gasoline, as well as Generator Alarms, Thermometers, Pool Temperatures, Propane Cylinder Cage Monitors and Gas Meters. The Satellite Base unit uses the world-class Globalstar simplex data network. These Low Earth Orbiting Satellites (or LEOS) receive transmissions from the Satellite Base Unit and re-transmit them back to ground-based stations where the data is forwarded through the internet back to the ITC WESROC Host Server for access by host administrators. Alerts and Alarms can be automatically forwarded to field personnel via email or text messaging.
A unique design feature of the WESROC Satellite System is its ability to collect and transmit data from up to 15 transmitters of any kind. The WESROC System allows for the least expensive monthly satellite transmission fees. Other systems need a satellite transmitter for each tank, which of course, increases your monitoring fees and is a maintenance nightmare requiring constant battery replacement.
The power source for the WESROC Satellite Base Unit can be AC power, DC power or solar power. The power consumption required for satellite communication makes tank mounted batteries prohibitive. By using external power, the reliability of the WESROC System is greatly increased while removing the requirement that batteries be continually replaced after approx- imately 200 transmissions. Once a WESROC Satellite Base Unit is properly installed in the field, periodic service is not required.
