SignalFire Telemetry products connect you with crucial product and hardware data at any of your oil and gas operation sites—whether it’s a pump, pipeline, or storage tank.
SignalFire Telemetry devices install anywhere water asset monitoring is needed, whether it’s for collection purposes, treatment, or delivery.
SignalFire Telemetry devices can monitor key assets and can do it affordably, without any renovation or high-priced engineering costs. They install easily with no required cable or additional power. The data is available on your phone or computer and the cloud service can even output to your corporate system to integrate with the rest of your data and keep your operation running.
SignalFire Telemetry devices can monitor and manage water supplies and additives throughout the property, helping you avoid catastrophic shortages and keep your irrigation plan on track.
Avoid costly product loss in bulk storage tanks, terminals, and transportation movements. Whether calling for tank levels, gauge pressure, or even movement pumps or pipelines, SignalFire products can fill any monitoring gap throughout a facility.
Environmental fines for businesses are frustrating and can bring business to a standstill until they’re worked out. No business wants to hurt the environment, and in competitive markets stopping production affects the bottom line and staff. But there are effective and affordable solutions with SignalFire Telemetry devices.
Expand visibility and control of your refinery or petrochemical processing facility without expensive renovations or redesigns. And do it with your current gauges and hardware. SignalFire telemetry devices are designed to work in harsh chemical environments and meet the strictest safety and security standards
No matter the size of your service map, monitoring remote assets ensures efficiency and keeps your operation in compliance. That’s how SignalFire devices can really help, offering the most affordable and effective monitoring solution that will monitor liquid, gas, electricity, and other assets.

Teton West Irrigation Company operates six irrigation pumps shared among property owners, a large farm, and fire protection infrastructure. In late June 2023, a 3-phase line supplying power to Pump 5 shorted to ground at the pump transformer, causing the mechanical fuse on the power pole to blow.
When the power company restored the connection and reinserted the fuse, an arc flash occurred in the 350 HP, 480 VAC 3-phase motor. The incident resulted in a small field fire, which was quickly contained. However, the motor sustained extensive damage, leading to costly repairs.
Despite using LittelFuse® 777-HVR-LR-P2 motor savers across all pump stations, the motor was not protected. An investigation revealed that the motor saver functioned correctly, but the aged motor contactor failed to disengage when its coil lost energy. Greg Stone, a retired electrical engineer, determined the root cause of this failure.
To improve monitoring and prevent future incidents, Teton West Irrigation Company implemented a RANGER system equipped with Modbus and SignalFire RF radios. This system enables continuous monitoring of key parameters, including line pressure and motor casing temperature.
Teton West Irrigation Company needed a solution that could:
The RANGER communicates with the SignalFire RF DINv2 Gateway, allowing authorized users to remotely monitor and control motor operations.
SAFETY FIRST: Always consult a licensed electrician when working with high-voltage and high-current circuits.
Voltage and Current Data from Littlefuse® 777
Electric utilities often mandate motor savers to improve energy efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance. These devices provide overload protection, phase loss and imbalance detection, voltage monitoring, and jam protection.
The LittelFuse® 777 series, a three-phase current and voltage monitor, supports Modbus communication, enabling Teton West Irrigation to leverage SignalFire’s Multi I/O Stick and RANGER for bidirectional data monitoring and control.
Key Parameters Monitored:
HIGH and LOW alarm limits are user defined. Once enabled, users can get a text or email. This allows them to respond quickly before damage is done to the motor and or pump.
The data collected by the SignalFire RANGER resulted in the TWIC’s insurance company reimbursing them for the $12,000 repairs. Data collected after the failure is helping TWIC monitor the possibility of a sticky contactor before committing to a high replacement cost of $25,000. Without the “prove it” data, Teton West Irrigation Company and it’s customer would have had to pay for the motor repairs out of their own pockets.
Encouraged by these results, Teton West Irrigation Company plans to expand the monitoring system to additional motors, further enhancing reliability and efficiency across their operations.
CHARTS: Allows users to trend any tag in the system. The above is a trend of the 3 phase voltages from a single motor.
