PRODUCT OVERVIEW Sper Scientific s Raphael is a remote infrastructure monitoring tool that delivers field data to decision makers. It is an all inclusive, plug-and-play system, including batteries, SIM card, sensors, and installation hardware. After learning your specific needs, Sper Scientific pre-integrates the appropriate sensors with the Raphael data collection, storage and communication device which is then installed onto existing infrastructure. The data collected from the sensors is stored on Sper Scientific s secure private cloud server, and/or can be integrated directly into your onpremises servers. An Sper Scientific web-based data management system enables you to configure the device over-the-air and program various parameter threshold levels for E-mail and/or SMS alerts, visualize data in realtime, and produce reports for presentation and analysis. Using Sper Scientific s API, data can be integrated directly into your SCADA systems, business intelligence or other analytic software. Figure 1: Sper Scientific Raphael System 4

Setting the Time Frame You can set the time frame shown in the window by selecting the desired time frame in the Time Frame selector. Using the Zoom and View tools You can adjust the view using any of the following tools, appearing to the right of the chart: Zoom to initial view (1 week) Pan left Pan right Zoom in Zoom out Download as.png. This opens the graph as a png file in a new browser tab. 11
Comparing Data Streams You can also compare the readings obtained from multiple data streams by displaying them in same chart. Up to five data streams of up to two different types can be displayed in the same chart. To compare data streams: 1. Double-click the first data stream in the left pane. The right pane splits, displaying the data in a chart in the bottom half of the pane. 2. Double-click the second data stream in the left pane. The data appears in the same chart in the bottom half of the right pane. 3. Repeat step (2) as desired. If you select more than five data streams in all, the data from the additional data streams will appear in a new tab. The following example shows a comparison of two Temperature data streams from the same site - one from a temperature sensor located at the bottom of a borehole, and one from a temperature sensor located at the top of the borehole.
