Remote monitoring of diesel generator includes fuel consumption monitoring and monitoring of engine operation parameters. Such kind of monitoring helps to plan timely refueling and maintenance, also it is good way to determine and prevent fuel thefts and generator breakdown.
Technoton’s solution for diesel generators is based on accurate tools for fuel consumption measurement: DFM fuel flow meters are mounted in fuel line, DUT-E fuel level sensors are installed in fuel tanks – all fuel sensors are connected together through S6 telematics bus, which is a single calbe for power-supplying all the device and receiving signal to CANUp telematics gateway. Received data is processed by CANUp and sent to web-based ORF4 telematics service (or directly to user by SMS, e-mail or via messenger.) Also, it is possible to organize autonomous solution using DFM fuel counter – no external power supply needed, no monthly costs for data transfer, all information is available on electronic display (LCD) of DFM fuel flow meter.
Installing a DFM flowmeter equipped with display provides with autonomously controlling of fuel consumption of diesel generator without transmitting data to server. This solution is suitable for diesel generators located within the allotted area. Depending on amount of fuel consumed, stand-alone DFM, DFM D or DFM Marine flowmeters can be installed.
This solution ensures:
- Accounting for actual fuel consumption;
- Identify and prevent theft of fuel;
- Accounting for actual engine operating time in different modes (starting, optimal, full load);
