Product Overview

tetrascan Programmable Surface Gauge System

IDS’s new tetrascan PSG system represents the latest evolution of IDS’s wireless programmable surface gauge technology. tetrascan’s innovative data acquisition, wireless connectivity, data management, reporting and improved power management features provide an ideal, cost-effective solution for well and facility mechanical integrity surveillance applications.

tetrascan offers 4 connectivity modes: tetrascan is the only portable, wireless data acquisition system of its kind to combine secure Bluetooth, cellular, Wi-Fi and USB communications capabilities, all within a single, battery-powered, easy-to-install weather-proof enclosure.

Bluetooth connectivity: For secure on-site bi-directional wireless communications such as programming, real-time data queries or downloading, simply utilize tetraware support software along with tetrascan’s Bluetooth communications feature on either Android, Windows or Mac devices to avoid need for approaching wellhead or other potentially hazardous zones.

Cellular connectivity: tetrascan’s cellular communications capability and tetraware-web combination enables users to program, acquire real-time data reports, and download tetrascan PSGs remotely.

Wi-Fi connectivity: Any number of tetrascan PSGs can be connected on user’s Wi-Fi router to IDS’ secure tetraware-web online portal. User may choose to provide satellite modem connection in areas without cellular network coverage; or to have a dedicated network not connected to the internet. In this case IDS will provide user with a dedicated server loaded with all required software. IDS also offers its new tetrarouter secure Wi-Fi / cellular gateway system that features lower energy consumption and a solar-powered battery backup system.

Alarm notifications: Users can select both low and high process monitoring scale limits in tetrascan’s monitoring program setup menu that will immediately trigger alarm notification messages should either pre-set boundary be crossed.

Programmable data acquisition, display and transfer rates: tetrascan enables users to select data acquisition/recording intervals from 0.1 second to 24 hours. Complete real-time data updates are transferred to tetraware-web’s online portal via secure cellular transmission also at user-selected message intervals.

Advanced power management system: tetrascan is powered by a replaceable D-cell lithium battery with an operating life of three years or more between battery changes. tetrascan’s internal memory capacity of 16 million data sets offers the largest memory size available anywhere; along with several added-value features including a complete supporting data management and secure communications software package at no additional cost.

Reduce operating costs: tetrascan’s wireless bi-directional communications capability can reduce user’s field operating costs; reduces need for field personnel visits to obtain gauge readings and/or change gauge operating program parameters. tetrascan also simplifies journey-management concerns; reduces need for vehicle travel to remote locations over poor roads, bad weather, poor offshore travel and/or other local unsafe conditions.

Secure Wireless Remote Monitoring (SWRM) system: Among its numerous operating features tetrascan offers a multi-gauge cluster option designed specifically for remote well and facility mechanical integrity surveillance applications. SWRM integrates tetrascan’s Bluetooth and cellular data transmission and online reporting capabilities, along with its alarm notification feature to provide a reliable, cost-effective solution for monitoring up to 5 surveillance points at each location via secure Wi-Fi or bi-directional cellular connection.

IDS’s tetrascan series PSG systems are available in 3 models: including Static Pressure, RTD Temperature, and Combustible Gas Detection. Each model can operate either as a standalone installation, or as part of a SWRM multi-gauge cluster that includes any combination of tetrascan PSGs.
