Extreme Endeavors SingleNode Product Now Sold Through Amazon
Philippi, WV (PRWEB) February 23, 2014 -- Every day 23 million gallons of drinking water are pumped and distributed in West Virginia alone. Extreme Endeavors developed the SingleNode to help monitor and control the production and distribution of drinking water. The SingleNode is now available for purchase on Amazon.com giving water production and distribution agencies from around the world access to this new technology.
The SingleNode is a configurable system that can automatically turn pumps on and off, add chemicals, and control water filters. The SingleNode, measuring just 3.55 inches x 2.28 inches x 1.74 inches, connects to the Internet and saves time and money with the production and distribution of water.
Internet accessibility would also allow emergency services to shut down or start up water production and distribution on demand. How could this benefit a municipality? For example, the recent Elk River chemical spill in West Virginia,left 300,000 residents in West Virginia without access to potable water and created $61 million in losses {The Charleston Gazette, February 4th, 2014}. If, once the spill occurred, emergency operations could have used the SingleNode to stop all water production, then the contamination would have never entered the drinking water.
The SingleNode is not just for drinking water, though. Extreme Endeavors was very creative in designing adaptability into this technology. While the SingleNode is a physically small device, it has programmable configuration registers that allow the user to select everything from communications to the type of sensors to use. “This configurability allows the product to match just about any monitoring or control application,” states Mike Masterman, president of Extreme Endeavors.
Sale of such technologically advanced products also create business opportunities. Now, other companies can purchase the SingleNode and configure the device to meet their customer’s needs. Extreme Endeavors has already begun offering this product to monitor and prevent acid mine drainage problems, data logging of rain fall for industry, and providing automation for the Marcellus shale industry.
The SingleNode stands out because of its durability and ruggedness allowing it to be uses in severe environments. The electronics that comprise the SingleNode are fabricated utilizing the latest in automated microelectronic assembly techniques and the enclosure is machined from a block of solid aluminum. O-rings and internal potting provide environmental seals allowing the product to operate even during temporary submersion. The white color does not absorb sunlight which helps to keep it cooler when operating in a hot environment such as a desert or factory.
The SingleNode is a complete industrial process controller with the following features:
- 2 high precision analog inputs, current or voltage configurable
- 1 analog output for control, current or voltage configurable
- 4 digital inputs or outputs
- Ethernet, RS232 or RS485 communications
- Wide input power range, 7 to 30 volts
- Real-time clock for data synchronization
- Onboard data storage
