The Watchman System™ is a automatic water management system developed by Iris Connection, Inc. that allows remote management of water systems via the Internet.  Real-time management is done with a unique interface called vPanel™, which can be used to monitor current and data-logged values and to alter selected control parameters.  Also through the same Spyglass™ application a designated user can gain secure access to archived data that is retrieved and stored in the Iris database. 

 Q.  Does the Watchman System™ work with my existing equipment?

Yes, for monitoring purposes, the Watchman System™ will use most existing sensors and meters with new sensors added as required.  Also, the Watchman will work with existing pumps, chlorine injectors, motor starters, variable frequency drives, etc.

Q.  What can I monitor with the Watchman System™

The Watchman System™ can monitor any water system parameter that has a sensor with a signal output. Sensor values are displayed locally as well as available to the vPanel through the Internet.  Designated sensor values are continuously data-logged for viewing by the vPanel and deposited into the Iris' Spyglass database on a daily basis. 

Q.  Does the Watchman System™ only run on my computer?

The Watchman vPanel™ is an application that can be loaded on any PC. Once the application is loaded, the user then accesses the local Watchman System™ for their water system. Only the water system's authorized users have access to the Watchman System™.  Also each water system has a secure area within the Iris database that can be accessed using the  Spyglass™ application.

Q.  What about controlling my pumps and other equipment?

The Watchman vPanel™ has a logon feature to allow only authorized users to change control parameters remotely. Virtually any control parameter can be changed remotely.  For example pumps can be turned on and off, VFD set points and trigger points can be altered, tank-level trigger values can be changed, and chlorine injection ratios (as a function of water flow rate) can be altered.

Q.  Is the Watchman System™ the right choice for our water system?

The Watchman System™ is designed as a standard product specifically for water district applications, unlike most of the typical suppliers who hire engineers to custom design every installation.

Q.  Who supports the Watchman System™?

Iris’s relationship with its customers does not end after product delivery. Through its dealer network, it continues to monitor and maintain the customers’ systems. Iris builds partner relationship with its dealers. They are a team to service your water delivery system.

Q.  What are Watchman customers saying about their system?

"I thought you all might like to know that while in Phoenix visiting I turned the wells on and off for their regular weekly cycles.  I watched all of this from my computer and to say that I was impressed puts it mildly.  I was aware of everything that went on with the wells and was many miles removed.  Way to go!!!
