INTRODUCTION
Scope
This document is intended for users, installers and integrators of
Raphael™ Kits.
Reimagine Remote Monitoring
Rather than sending technicians to periodically environmental
measurements, Raphael™ streams the data to you. Raphael™ transmits
the data to our secure cloud server via global GSM cellular. You are then
able to access it, in real time, from any computer with an internet connection.
Our sophisticated cloud based software allows you to easily view,
and analyze, data and graphs from multiple sensors and locations
simultaneously. You see data, changes and problems as they happen, rather
than after the fact. All data is highly encrypted so that only you will be able
to access it. If required, the system will also send you SMS or E-mail alerts
when a threshold is crossed.
Raphael™ is an autonomous, stand-alone system. Together with our cloud
based subscription software you have a complete, ready to go, solution for
remote monitoring. The system is easily scalable up to an entire smart water
network and comes with a built in interface for SCADA systems.
Housed in a rugged waterproof case Raphael™ will stand up to many years
in the eld even in harsh conditions. Special military grade batteries and
unique power usage algorithms enable the unit to work autonomously for
years of typical use. Optional connections for AC power are also available.
Raphael™ is available in standard congurations, but can be customized
to work with any sensors you require. Simply place Raphael’s™ sensors
wherever environmental monitoring is needed and let the data come to you.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Sper Scientic’s Raphael™ is a remote infrastructure monitoring tool that
delivers eld data to decision makers. It is an all-inclusive, plug-and-play
system, including batteries, SIM card, sensors, and installation hardware.
After learning your specic needs, Sper Scientic pre-integrates the
appropriate sensors with the Raphael™ data collection, storage and
communication device which is then installed onto existing infrastructure.
The data collected from the sensors is stored on Sper Scientic’s secure
private cloud server, and/or can be integrated directly into your on-
premises servers.
A Sper Scientic web-based data management system enables you
to congure the device over-the-air and program various parameter
threshold levels for email and/or SMS alerts, visualize data in
real-time, and produce reports for presentation and analysis. Using
Sper Scientic’s API, data can be integrated directly into your SCADA
systems, business intelligence or other analytic software.

Raphael™Kits
Each Raphael™ Kit, composed of a Raphael™ device and smart
sensors, is targeted at a specic need in the infrastructure sector. The
intended usage dictates the type of sensors included in the kit. Sper
Scientic o󰀨ers various kits in each of the following categories:
•Water Quality
•Environmental Quality
•Oil & Gas
Raphael™ Device

SPER SCIENTIFIC WEB-BASED DATA
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Sper Scientic data management system provides the following:
•Visualization window – enables viewing your site deployment from
the macro to the micro level
•Reports window – enables generating reports and exporting them for
viewing and sharing
•Devices window – enables you to view and manage all your Sites,
Devices and Data Stream congurations.
•Account window – enables you to manage all Organizations, Users
and User Groups.
Accessing the Data Management System
To access the Sper Scientic data management system:
•Navigate to Sper.Ayyeka.com and enter your Sper Scientic credentials.
The Initial Visualization window appears.
Understanding Sites’ Hierarchy
Your system (also called an account) is organized hierarchically as follows:
•Account
•Organization(s)
•Site(s)
•Device(s)
•Data Stream(s)

15
Figure 5: Account hierarchy
In the example shown above, the Springeld Water Company account
consists of two organizations, Organization 1 and Organization 2. Each
organization manages several sites, where each site includes multiple
devices. Each device is connected to various sensors (Pressure,
Conductivity, etc.), each of which is sending the device a stream of
sampling data.
Every account’s hierarchy is pre-dened to match the actual
deployment of its devices and their sensors. The only hierarchy
changes an account owner can make is to add organizations, and
unassign/assign sites to organizations.
Note...
The Organization level is optional. If no organizations are dened, all
sites are grouped directly under the Account level. This is common in
small accounts.
The Device level is also optional. Data streams can be grouped directly
under the site level, for example if there are very few devices in a site.

16 17
Understanding User Roles
The system supports two sets of roles: Account roles and Organization roles.
•Account roles give permissions with regards to all account assets.
• Organization roles give permissions with regards to a specic
organization’s assets.
Account roles
Each role level is given the permissions given to lower-level roles, plus
some additional permissions. The roles, from lowest to highest, include:
•No role – Can receives threshold alerts from account devices.
•Account Operator – Can also view sites and streams of this account.
•Account Analyst – Can also generate reports.
•Account Engineer – Can also manage all sites and streams of
this account.
• Account Administrator – Can also set device conguration for all
devices in this account.
•Account Owner – Can also manage all users, groups and
organizations of this account.
Organization roles
Each role level is given the permissions given to lower-level roles, plus
some additional permissions. The roles, from lowest to highest, include:
•No role – Can receives threshold alerts from organization devices.
•Organization Operator – Can also view sites and streams of
this organization.
•Organization Analyst – Can also generate reports.
•Organization Engineer – Can also manage all sites and streams of
this organization.
• Organization Administrator – Can also set device conguration for all
devices in this organization.
•Organization Owner – Can also manage all users and groups of
this organization.

17
Getting Started
After becoming acquainted with the Sites’ Hierarchy and the available User
Roles, it is recommended to perform the following to set up your account:
1. If you are an account owner you may wish to create or edit
organizations. Refer to Managing Organizations.
2. Create or edit users, giving them the necessary permissions. Refer
to Managing Users.
3. Create user groups, which dene who receives alerts when data
thresholds are exceeded. Refer to Managing User Groups .
4. View your sites (groups of Raphael™ devices), and edit their
settings if necessary. Refer to Managing Sites.
5. Manage the various data streams received from each specic sensor:
•Trim the raw data; then view the formula for converting raw data
into engineering units, and edit if necessary. Refer to Viewing and
Editing the Treatment of Raw Data.
•View the samples table, and hide values that are not real values.
Refer to Viewing and Filtering Samples.
