3 How Retriever Works The Retriever data collector is solar powered and uses wireless communications, so it can be quickly installed anywhere without having to run power supply or phone lines to it. Here s how it works: Retriever Typical Site Cell Tower The built in microcomputer takes hourly data readings from the flow and level sensors, and stores the data. Each night, a data packet containing the daily data is sent to your web site via a special, broad coverage cellular communications channel (with over 95% coverage in the continental U.S., see chart on back cover). The Retriever web site stores the data in your own separate, secure location, and displays it in tabular and charted form. The data is backed up and hosted at a specialized Tier-one data center. You can download data to your local spreadsheet for further analysis and processing. You can access your data from any internet-connected computer, simply using your web browser- no special software is required. The Retriever web site provides simple but powerful access to the data you want- by date, by module, by site, even managing multiple sites. Without going to the well, you can produce the site reports you need for regulatory or project purposes. Landfill Customer Computer QED Data Center Internet What Retriever Delivers In order to meet its goals of simplicity and affordability, Retriever is not intended to replace custom-developed remote data systems that have been available for years. Retriever delivers the data most projects really need- daily data reports and summaries in plain language, not streams of raw data that you have to sort out later. The Retriever web site does all of the tedious work of intermediate calculations. You can review your data online by selecting the date range of interest and selecting and displaying it in graphical and/or tabular form. Water Level and Flow Rate Charts and Tables Retriever is designed to measure water level and flow from wells and risers, such as those equipped with QED pumps and similar applications. Water levels are measured with bubbler backpressure systems or submersible pressure transducers. Water flow is measured by the unique, nomoving-part Severn Trent Smart Meter, or by pulse counters associated with air-powered pumps or other flow meters. Call QED for additional flow measurement or sensor needs. Web Service Features Water level and flow rate tables and charts Data range selectable queries Multi-site and multi-unit database management Statistics and totals Data downloading to spreadsheet format

Cost Savings with Retriever Traditional methods of data collection and reporting are changing rapidly as technology eliminates steps and drives down costs.

4 Cost Savings with Retriever Traditional methods of data collection and reporting are changing rapidly as technology eliminates steps and drives down costs. Manual data collection can involve many steps and concerns from the field to the final report: Driving to the site Traversing the site, including in adverse weather and hard to reach wells/risers Opening enclosures or locks, lowering, raising and cleaning portable water level meters, writing down the data, and returning the well or riser to a secure condition Employee exposure to contaminants and site hazards Disruption of normal operations if valves and fittings are not restored to proper condition Transcribing the data from field sheets to spreadsheet format and proofing for errors Performing any intermediate data calculations Arranging the data into report format Securely archiving the data so long term trends can be reviewed later Even popular water level logging devices are only half a solution they still require trips to the well to download the data. Retriever delivers more information easier, on a regular basis, with fewer steps and at the lowest cost per data point. Easy to Afford When you analyze all of the steps and true costs involved in manual data collection and transcribing and report preparation, we think you ll agree that the Retriever is as easy to afford as it is to put into action.
