Abstract
A system and method for communicating operation failure of a remote pipeline pneumatic device. A flow detector is used in combination with the pipeline pneumatic device. A controller in combination with the flow detector and a long range communication transmitter communicates an alarm upon detecting a predetermined flow, such as outside an expected amount. The controller can initiate a flow timer upon the actuation of the pneumatic device, and transmit an alarm upon the flow timer exceeding a predetermined value representing the expected amount.
