Scout Lift & Pump Station Monitoring

With an expanded terminal strip, signal isolation, mapping, GPS tracking and more, Scout is Merit Monitoring's most powerful and versatile monitoring, alarm, and control technology. 

Designed for municipal, utility, and industrial environments, Scout builds on Sentinel+ functionality with more advanced features and customizations.

Scout is ideal for lift and pump station, tank, and well sites. It easily integrates with existing equipment requiring analog measurement and remote control.

Scout is the best choice for sites with:

  • ^
    Multiple sensors on long wire runs, making them more susceptible to noise.
  • ^
    Variable frequency drives (VFDs) or large motors in the vicinity, which are major sources of interference.
  • ^
    Panel-mount installations where multiple devices share a common enclosure.
  • ^
    A history of erratic analog readings or sensor drift.

Inputs & Outputs

  • ^
    Four (4) analog 4–20mA inputs for wet-well levels, pressure, flow, and current monitoring
  • ^
    Seven (7) digital inputs for pump run, alarms, float switch, and status signals
  • ^
    Two (2) digital outputs for remote control and equipment activation

Scout Features

Like Sentinel and Sentinel+, Scout monitors four core functions:

  1. High level alarms
  2. Pump failures
  3. Pump status (pumps 1 and 2)
  4. Power status

AND it comes with these upgrades:

  • ^
    4–20mA signal isolators for cleaner signal handling
  • ^
    Back-up emergency lift station control for control panel failures
  • ^
    Mapping
  • ^
    GPS tracking
  • ^
    Customizations available
  • ^
    Expanded terminal strip for complex installations, easy modification, and maintenance
  • ^
    Larger industrial-grade enclosure
  • ^
    Global SIM automatically connects across all major cellular carriers
  • ^
    Built-in WiFi access for connectivity back-up
  • ^
    Supercapacitor server back-up

Scout Advantages

  • ^
    Our most powerful and versatile remote monitoring technology.
  • ^
    Customizable to meet unique needs, like automated reporting and anomaly detection.
  • ^
    Intentionally designed for electrically noisy environments.
  • ^
    Substantially more cost-effective than SCADA systems, no special infrastructure or extra licensing fees are required. Costs less than standalone cellular systems from competitors.
