The following is a picture which outlines  some of the main components of one of our latest SCADA systems.  Including the spike the tower is roughly thirty feet in height.  When installing a system we can if necessary install a tower. However if all parties are willing we would gladly make use of any preexisting towers.  Although the cell phone is an optional component of the system, the monitoring and control capabilities which it can provide make it indispensable.  For extremely remote sites we are capable of installing satellite DTE in place of the cell phone.  As of yet the 70Watt Solar panels have provided ample power to run the control system as well as power multiple solar powered pumps.  The gel cell batteries used in all our systems have thus far performed exceptionally well requiring little maintenance.   The voltage of the batteries can be monitored remotely.  The Modular Instrumentation Package consists of several custom designed circuits in addition to equipment from Controller Microsystems line  of SCADAPack controllers.  The programmability of the controllers and our extensive knowledge of electronics allow us the ability to adapt our system to many different applications.
