Ranch Systems has been selected by the FCGMA as the vendor to provide the equipment and cloud platform necessary for well owners to comply with the AMI ordinance. A rebate maybe available for early applications to the FCGMA. The rebate may contribute or cover the costs of the basic mandatory equipment required and the first year of the Ranch Cloud Platform and Access Portal Annual Plan, inquire with the FCGMA for more details regarding availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6284-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-6284-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6284-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6284-1-0-0\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ranchsystems.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FL-MP20-RS232-5-2.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-6285  attachment-600x400 size-600x400\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-6284-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6284-1-0-1\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ranchsystems.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FL-MP20-RS232-Field1.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-6371  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6284-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6284-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6284-1-1-0\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><h1>Solution Overview<\/h1>\n<p>The AMI solution being offered helps with many problems associated with flow meter monitoring and reporting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It enables periodic sampling of the flow meter totalizer using an optical reader.<\/li>\n<li>The sampling is performed optically. The flow meter does not need to be updated or replaced to provide a digital output.<\/li>\n<li>As flow meters become obsolete or need to be replaced, the optical reader can be reused on new meters or re-purposed for other applications.<\/li>\n<li>The wireless monitoring solution is cloud-based and collects real-time data.<\/li>\n<li>Data is available through the online application accessible by Smartphone, tablet or computer.<\/li>\n<li>Water Market Participants are able to automate the monitoring of flow meters in the field.<\/li>\n<li>A powerful Alerting function notifies users of any critical condition via text, email or phone, along with customization options to configure additional alerts as needed.\n<ul>\n<li>Alerts help prevent or minimize operational problems in the systems. They also allow personnel the ability to perform other tasks or leave the area and still \u201ckeep an eye on the system.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The system provides the ability to monitor and analyze pipeline pressure and power usage on pumps providing important information on the functioning of the system and how it can be improved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6284-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-6284-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6284-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-6284-2-0-0\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><h1>What is Included<\/h1>\n<p>The package consists of the following components: RS130 telemetry unit, FL-MP20-RS232 optical reader, PS-250-6P pressure transducer, and the Ranch Cloud Platform and Access Portal for the first year of use.<\/p>\n<p>This solution package goes beyond just the ability to only track water usage; coupled with the optical reader, sensors are used to determine the pump efficiency. Using pump feedback sensors allows the analysis of the data in the Ranch Cloud Platform to determine if the pump is operating at peak efficiency or if there is a possible problem. An error alert can be sent to a list of predefined users in the form of an email, text message or voice call when the platform detects an issue defined in the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6284-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6284-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><figure style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ranchsystems.com\/home\/products\/fl-mp20-rs232\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ranchsystems.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RSFL-MP20-RS232-Web.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-6310  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"FL-MP20-RS232 Optical Flow Sensor\" style=\"max-width: 100%;
