Soil Movement Detection Capsule Sensor

basic information

Here are the functions and features of the capsule sensor: 1. The wireless module moves with the movement of soil and other materials, sending wireless alerts. 2. The capsule sensor is compact, with a diameter of 10 cm, and does not require civil engineering work for installation. 3. The wireless module is inexpensive, allowing for the construction of a cost-effective system. 4. Each wireless module has its own ID information, enabling the simultaneous installation of multiple sensors without interference. 5. The line of sight distance between the receiving device and the sensor is approximately 500 meters at maximum. Sensors installed more than 500 meters upstream can still be monitored, although they require waiting time. 6. The built-in battery life of the sensor is over 5 years (reference value), allowing for long-term reliable system operation (reference). 7. A high-gain Yagi antenna is standard, using one unit for reception. 8. It is also possible to use two receiving devices, distributing antennas in the upstream and downstream directions to monitor a line of sight distance of approximately 1 km (optional). 9. The receiving device operates on solar power, so commercial power supply is not required. 10. The receiving device has a built-in battery that can operate for 72 hours. 11. A system that reports detection information via email or other means is also possible (optional).

Applications/Examples of results

It is effective in a wide area from the upstream of rivers to the estuary. 1. Locations where bank collapse is expected along steep streams. 2. Locations where the riverbed and river shape change significantly in fast-flowing rivers. 3. Locations where erosion, scouring, leakage, or overtopping is expected due to soil quality or structural issues of the embankment. 4. Locations where avalanches or the impact of spring snowmelt water is a concern in heavy snowfall areas. System components: 1. Capsule sensor (buried in sediment) ⇒ The built-in wireless device reports sediment movement. ⇒ The built-in battery has a lifespan of over 5 years (for reference). 2. Receiving device (installed on riverbanks, etc.) ⇒ It receives signals with high sensitivity using space diversity method and broadly using simplex method. ⇒ It is equipped with a battery that operates for 72 hours. ⇒ It includes a light transmission device. 3. Processing display device (installed in offices or branch offices) ⇒ Based on database information, it displays the occurrence of sediment movement, time, and location. ◇ Please refer to the specifications for details. ◇
