8 models for the widest possible compatibility

The Single Channel Node is available in 8 models, each one suited for a different kind of probe interface. Refer to this chart to choose the correct models for your needs.

Applications

Geo-environmental Monitoring

Analyzing the displacement of the ground (settlement or lateral movement) and the stress-deformation state of the ground with inclinometer probes and vibrating ropes. You can also monitor all external atmospheric agents such as wind direction and speed, rain, humidity and temperature.

Hydrogeological Monitoring

With sensors such as piezometers, it is possible to monitor the level of groundwater and surface water and correlate it to the soil subsidence values.

Structural Monitoring

The use of crack meters allows you to keep a dangerous crack pattern under control. You can also monitor the stress-strain state of the structural elements using strain gages and correlating the data with the temperature.

Geotechnical Monitoring

By inserting load and pressure cells into the ground, it is possible to monitor both the pressures exerted by the ground and the distribution of loads on the foundations and their deformations.

Move Solutions Single Channel Node is a wireless data logger that makes geotechnical probes suited for LoRaWAN wireless communication. Each node supports one technical probe and the probe’s internal NTC (when present). The Single Channel Node can be configured on Move Solutions IoT Platform: you can set different parameters remotely and monitor the data collected at any time. This Node comes with a long battery life, a wider range of supported probes and an accelerometer-triggered acquisition mode.
