WASTEWATER

Catch the high wet-well alarm before the float trips

A single sanitary sewer overflow can cost tens of thousands in cleanup plus a notice of violation. RACO watches your lift stations, overflows, and process points continuously and reaches a human the moment a level, a pump, or the power goes wrong.

What you monitor

The signals that predict an overflow, not just report one

The Gen2 lands your existing floats, transducers, and pump contacts on one device and alarms on the conditions that matter.

Wet-well level

Trend the 4-20 mA transducer with Hi and HiHi thresholds so you see the level climbing before the high float ever trips.

Pump fail and run-time

Fail contacts, run-time totalizing, and short-cycle detection that flags a struggling pump before it quits.

Force main pressure

4-20 mA pressure on the force main to catch a blockage or a break early.

Storm and CSO overflow

Level, gate position, and rainfall with high-event escalation during storms.

Power and generator

Utility power loss and genset run status so a dead station does not sit silent.
 

Treatment process points

pH, DO, turbidity, and chemical feed for after-hours coverage when no operator is on site.

Easy to implement

Up and running without a network project.

No carrier to choose, no IP addresses to configure, no inbound ports to open. The device ships pre-provisioned for cellular.

1. Mount and wire

Install the Gen2 in your panel and land your field signals on the spring-clamp terminals: floats, transducers, flow meters, pump status.

2. Cloud configuration

Register the device in the RACO Monitoring Center, then set channels, alarm thresholds, and your notification and escalation groups from any browser.

3. Get alerted

Receive voice, text, or email alerts with escalation. Cellular delivers first; satellite steps in if a cellular alarm isn't confirmed within 2 minutes.

Applications

Built for the sites where downtime costs the most

The Verbatim Gen2 is purpose-fit for unmanned, dispersed infrastructure across water, wastewater, and industrial operations.

Questions? We've got answers

FAQ

How does this prevent an SSO?

It buys you time. Instead of learning about a high wet well when the float trips, you get an alarm on the rising trend and on pump trouble, with escalation until a crew acknowledges. Earlier warning is what turns a near miss into a non-event. RACO improves your odds; it is not a guarantee, so keep local safeguards in place.

Does it require network or IT configuration?

Not for standard deployments. There is no LAN access, no user IP configuration, and no inbound ports. Optional PLC and industrial-protocol integration (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) is planned for a future release.

Is the Verbatim Gen2 a traditional SCADA system?

No. Its better! 

It is a dedicated monitoring and alarm-notification device that supplements your existing operational systems. If you want remote monitoring, basic process control, or intuitive visualization, but you don't want all the cost, time, and complexity of a SCADA system, you'll love it. If you want sub-second PID loops and demanding ladder logic, you should consider a more traditional SCADA system.

Does it guarantee alarm delivery?

No. Notifications are best-effort and depend on factors outside RACO's control, including carrier networks and site conditions. The cellular-plus-satellite design adds a second delivery path, but you should keep local safeguards and response procedures in place.

What happens if connectivity is lost?

The device keeps monitoring inputs and running alarm logic locally, and it queues events to send when connectivity returns. It also includes a connectivity-loss alert so you know if a device stops checking in.

Which cellular carrier does it use?

A multi-carrier embedded SIM selects the best available network automatically (carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, and Bell, by location and signal). No carrier setup is required at install.

Is the satellite the same as Starlink?

No. The Gen2 uses low-bandwidth satellite messaging on the Skylo network to transmit alarm and telemetry data. It is not broadband internet and does not require a dish or router.
