NEW
Tiltmeter
Move Solutions Tiltmeter is a wireless sensor designed for precise monitoring of structural inclination. It offers customizable working modes, different trigger options and a more flexible axis configuration process. With extended battery life, easy plug-and-play installation, and seamless integration with the MyMove IoT Platform, this Tiltmeter provides advanced real-time data on tilt angles, temperature, and vibrations.
What's new?
1. Remote axis configuration
One of the standout features of the new Tiltmeter is its remote axis configuration capability. This feature offers more installation options, allowing users to precisely align the sensor with the structure key axes, even when there are installation constraints.
1. Move Solutions new Tiltmeter features an optional advanced axis configuration capability, allowing you to precisely align the sensor with the structure key axes.
2. After installing the sensor, you can configure its axes (X, Y, Z) to match the structure primary axes (Longitudinal, Transversal, Vertical).
3. This ensures that the data reflects accurate rotational measurements around the structure key orientations (PHI and THETA angles).
This added flexibility simplifies installation and ensures that the data collected remains meaningful, even when the sensor is positioned at non-standard angles.
2. Diverse sampling options
The new Tiltmeter is not just a tool for passive data collection; it offers active monitoring solutions with four distinct sampling modes.
- Standard cadence: for regular data sampling at predefined intervals.
- Acceleration-triggered: it activates data sampling upon detecting acceleration beyond set thresholds, perfect for capturing events as they happen.
- Angle value-triggered: it increases sampling frequency when tilt angles exceed safety thresholds, crucial for monitoring significant structural shifts.
- Angular velocity-triggered: it captures rapid shifts in structure orientation, providing immediate insights into dynamic structural changes.
These modes ensure that monitoring can be customized to meet the specific needs of any project, providing flexibility and control over how data is collected and analyzed.
Set a regular sampling interval, from as little as 30 seconds up to 12 hours, to capture steady, synchronized data from multiple sensors.
Activate sampling when the sensor detects acceleration beyond a user-defined threshold, ensuring you capture critical events as they happen.
Increase sampling frequency when the tilt angle exceeds predefined safety limits, allowing you to closely monitor significant structural changes.
Trigger data acquisition based on the rate of change in tilt angles, capturing rapid shifts in the structure’s orientation.
3. Operational continuity with offline mode
The Tiltmeter flash memory can hold up to 10,000 data points, ensuring that critical measurements are captured even when offline.
Understanding the challenges of connectivity in remote or challenging environments, Move Solutions has equipped the new Tiltmeter with an offline mode that features built-in data logging capabilities. This allows the sensor to continue recording data even when internet connectivity is compromised, ensuring that no critical data is lost.
4. Peak acceleration measurement
Move Solutions latest Tiltmeter also includes a peak acceleration measurement feature. Regardless of the chosen sampling mode, the sensor now reports the maximum acceleration detected during each data acquisition. This metric is crucial for understanding how much the sensor has moved during measurement, offering a clearer understanding of data accuracy.
5. Robust design for harsh environments
Acknowledging the demanding conditions under which many structural monitoring sensors operate, the new Tiltmeter includes an optional antenna protection cover. This feature is particularly beneficial for installations in environments such as railways and construction sites, where sensors are exposed to potential physical impacts.
Applications
Building Monitoring
Monitor the static angular variation of the structural elements and to obtain the deflection of floors, walls and beams.
Bridge Monitoring
Monitor all the static parameters of a bridge as pier rotations or span static deflections.
Railways Monitoring
Monitor the longitudinal deflection and the transversal deformation of the rail track.
Geotechnical Monitoring
