Objectives This project is to develop a new type of district governor clock that can be set and operated remotely meaning less visits to site and lower system pressures. The scope detailed below is to produce 50 working clocks for a trial on a selected NGN network to test functionality and performance with a view to gaining approval for production to commence. • Review of Clock specification. Discuss with NGN and finalise. • Mechanical model available and would include: o Mechanical model of clock with valves o Assessment of valve and sample. o SITA app offline tool - user interface final specification showing local functions available o Web Portal - user interface final specification showing functions available. • Working sample, 2 pcs o Fully functional device with installed valve, suitable for lab tests o SITA offline tool, preliminary version available for commissioning o Review tests with NGN after 2 weeks. Obtain user feedback • Start Pilot trial with 50 pcs o ATEX certified equipment to be installed on sites for validation purpose o Final branded devices o SITA offline & online beta version available o WebPortal – Developed and expanded data presentation to include Clock control • Deliveries can commence o Stable production process o SITA final version available o WebPortal final version available To produce a functioning and cost effective district governor clock that can be operated remotely via SMS text.
