Introduction: Remote measurement and assessment of SF6 zones to enable more effective, efficient and economic asset management.

Objectives: To automate the sending of data from mobile SF6 mass flow meters currently on trial in the field to a central server. The objective is to bring the data provided when each zone is topped-up to a central database, provide automatic reports, and provide better asset management. Also enable the user to remotely locate the mobile unit(s) on a site.
