Remote Monitoring

The LinkThru Temperature Monitoring Unit monitors water temperatures and sends this information to the Internet for remote viewing. The TMU automates your Legionella temperature checks, making compliance with HSG274 easier, more reliable, and less labour-intensive.

The LinkThru TMU is the latest innvoation from Cistermiser. It delivers remote real-time monitoring of water temperatures on a 24/7 basis. The Internet data also provides useful insights that enable your maintenance team to reduce how much pipe flushing they carry out – reducing water wastage.

Building Owners, Facilities Managers, or Maintenance professionals have a legal duty to mitigate and manage the risks associated with Legionella Bacteria. The legal guidance is set out in the HSG274 technical guidance from the Health and Safety Executive. Companies are required to identify risks and put controls in place. Practically this results in some form of temperature monitoring and possibly cleaning and disinfection of water systems.

LinkThru TMU enables cost-effective real-time data capture, analysis, reporting, alarms, notifications, and auditing as part of a Legionella control regime using Temperature Monitoring Units (TMUs) placed at sentinel points. LinkThru TMUs are small black boxes that simply and easily affix to water pipes anywhere in the water system using small clamps, eliminating the need for a person to take temperature monitoring recordings themselves.

TMU devices take precise temperature readings every 10 seconds, transmitting the data into a ‘cloud’ database that users can access at any time by logging on to a secure dashboard portal. Users will only receive a notification from the system if it detects a discrepancy in water temperature or flow event which is beyond pre-defined limits LinkThru TMUs can be fixed in position or moved to provide temperature comparisons, which enable identification of “dead legs” in pipework for example, as part of the Risk Assessment. These devices can be used to monitor outlets, TMVs, incoming mains temperature, cold water storage, calorifiers, and other parts of the water system.

Having constant, real-time data allows you to be much more proactive in your management of Legionella risk.
