The Sensor Options

The PAL-AT®sensing string can be made up of any combination of probes and sensor cables. Sensor cables and probes are designed to serve a wide variety of applications. With PAL-AT's sensor technology, the system is not subject to false alarms caused by dust, or other non-liquid conductive materials that may come in contact with the cable, or from casually stepping on the cable. The state-of-the-art "Gold cables" have no exposed metal and are designed for corrosive chemical applications.

AGW Gold

AGW-Gold is a quick drying cable, that is chemically resistant and designed to detect highly corrosive liquid leaks, such as acids, bases and solvents. Typical applications are secondary containment pipes, computer rooms, sub-floors of clean rooms and high temperature applications. Data Sheet

AGT Gold

AGT-Gold is a wicking cable specially designed for the detection of accumulations at a shallow depth of 1/16 inch of liquid. The cable is chemically resistant and designed to detect water, highly corrosive acid, base and solvent leaks in computer rooms, clean room sub-floors, above ground single wall pipes and equipment applications. This cable requires more drying time than AGW-Gold. Data Sheet

TFH Gold

TFH-Gold is a wicking cable specifically designed to detect only hydrocarbons. This cable may be direct buried in slotted PVC pipe, or screen pipe, to a maximum depth of 6m to locate fuel leaks while ignoring the presence of water. This cable is ideal for monitoring single-wall pipes and tanks. The cable is suitable for applications where hydrogen sulphide or other corrosive gasses may be encountered, such as refineries and oil fields. Data Sheet

Jumper cable

In addition to sensor cables, Permalert provides jumper cables. Jumper cable is used to connect the monitoring unit and sensing string or link sensing strings between monitored areas. This reduces overall costs by only using sensor cable where it is needed. Data Sheet

PAL-AT

The PAL-AT system is the Permalert flagship product. PAL-AT is a patented, sophisticated microprocessor system that monitors for water or hydrocarbon leaks using sensor cables and/or probes. A typical installation will have one or more PAL-AT control panels, each controlling one or more sensor cables. Maximum coverage for one panel is over 9 kilometers of cable. More information

Liquid Watch

LiquidWatch® Monitoring Units have been engineered to meet a broad range of customer needs. The system can be configured with up to 64 probes and 16 alarm relays. The modular design allows for meeting current needs while allowing for future expansion of the system. More information

Fluid Watch

The FluidWatch® Leak Detection Monitoring Unit is engineered to monitor small areas for water leaks. Typical applications include unmanned equipment rooms, small raised floor areas and small tanks. The system continuously monitors the capacitance of the sensor cable and detects changes. Seconds after the coaxial sensor cable contacts water or water-based liquids, the unit enters into alarm. The sensor cable can be quickly dried in place after the leak is cleaned up and the system is back on-line. More information

Fluid Watch II

The FluidWatch II® Leak Detection Monitoring Unit is engineered to monitor small areas for water leaks. It works much in the same way as FluidWatch but runs on 10-30V, AC/DC and closes two relays on alarm. More information

Palcom 10 Software

PALCOM® 10 with GLS is an interactive, remote monitoring software package designed to monitor PAL-AT® cable leak detection systems and LiquidWatch® probe leak detection systems. It has been totally re-written and now integrates a graph viewer and GLS viewer. A computer is connected to the PAL-AT® units, using either its ethernet port, twisted pair wire or modems. The software has the ability to continuously monitor the status and/or remotely operate each PAL-AT®.

PALCOM® 10 enables an operator to monitor events on up to 254 systems from one location. The archive feature keeps a record of all system events. These events can be reviewed or printed for trouble shooting or documentation for reports. The remote key-pad feature allows the operator to view a PAL-AT® display and operate the PAL-AT® unit by using the computer. This allows immediate access to the monitoring panel, regardless of its location, to respond to alarms and initiate appropriate action. Data Sheet

Graphical Locator System

PALCOM® has an optional patented Graphic Locator System (GLS) that has also been completely re-written. A GLS CAD drawing shows a leak detection installation. A flashing icon identifies the location of a problem on a sensor cable or probe. This enables an operator to locate the problem quickly without having to obtain a hardcopy site reference drawing.

SMS Email and text messages are sent when an event is detected. Email messages include several images of the GLS drawings which zoom in to the event location. This provides 24/7 notification of leak detection events to any location. More information
