Remote sensing system adds nodes to operate in challenging outdoor environments
SignalFire Telemetry's Remote Sensing System has added three Sentinel nodes to support a wider array of sensors in the remote management of assets in challenging outdoor environments such as oil fields, water systems and mining.
SignalFire Telemetry’s Remote Sensing System has added three Sentinel nodes to support a wider array of sensors in the remote management of assets in challenging outdoor environments such as oil fields, water systems and mining. The Sentinel node is at the heart of every Signal Fire Remote Sensing System (SFRSS) and is designed to interface with sensors, extract data, and send long-range transmission of data in the unlicensed ISM bands through terrain, structures, or weather.
The Sentinel Thermocouple interfaces with K and J type thermocouples to report on thermocouple temperature, ambient temperature, thermocouple error status and diagnostic information. The sensor takes a temperature reading and sends data to a gateway where data is available via a Modbus RTU or TCP interface.
The Sentinel Turbine provides a sensitive pulse pick up with a direct connection to a turbine flow meter. Node can monitor frequencies in the range of 1 Hz to 2 kHz with a min sensitivity of 30 mV. The Sentinel totalizes flow volume as well as the current flow per hour and sends the data to a gateway where the data is available via a Modbus RTU or TCP interface.
The Sentinel Load Cell is designed to work with standard mV/V load cells, making it ideal for load measurements on moving devices.
All Sentinel nodes are rated to Class 1 Division 1 standards, intrinsically safe, rugged oil field proven and can be power either from internal batteries or Signal Fire’s C1D1 Solar System.
