Encardio-rite wireless in-place inclinometer (IPI) systems arequite advanced systems, designed to measure the lateral movement of earthworks or structures. These are used in critical applications where real-time monitoring and early warning is required in order to protect life and valuable assets.
The in-place inclinometer system typically consists of a string of digitalinclination sensors. This string of sensors is positioned inside the inclinometer casing to span the movement zone. Each in-place inclination sensor is fitted with a pair of pivoted sprung wheels.
Encardio-rite offers different type of IPI systems:
· In-place vertical inclinometer system with GPRS/GSM transmission
· In-place vertical inclinometer system with radio frequency transmission
· In-place horizontal inclinometer system with GPRS/GSM transmission
· In-place horizontal inclinometer system with radio frequency transmission
· 3D In-place horizontal inclinometer system with settlement monitoring feature
The digital in-place sensors are connected through a single 3 conductor bus cable in a daisy chain fashion, connecting each sensor to its next immediate neighbor and finally to the top of the borehole and directly to the model ESDL-30 datalogger(GPRS/GSM transmission) or Node and Gateway (RF transmission).This has a great advantages at locations with large number of sensors in a borehole, as it eliminates the hassle to accommodate large number of individual signal cables inside the borehole.
The ESDL-30 datalogger or the Gateway transfers the logged data via GPRS/GSM network to a central or cloud server with utmost reliability.
