Wireless Tiltmeter

Move Solutions Tiltmeter is a wireless sensor that measures changes in the inclination of the structure, on three axes. It detects movement in any direction, and it can be synchronized with the other Tiltmeters for static load tests and more effective monitoring. The device can be set up and managed remotely via Move Solutions IoT Platform.

Move Solutions Tiltmeter is a highly accurate and exceptionally stable three-axis wireless tilt monitoring sensor. Variable and remotely configurable sampling rates, a rugged design and a battery life of up to 8 years make this wireless Tiltmeter suitable for many environments and solutions. The wireless Tiltmeters transmit accurate readings from the site via the LoRaWAN wireless communication protocol via a Gateway.
You can view and interact with your data online using the Move Solutions IoT Platform. There are multiple data processing and correlation algorithms developed by Move. It is possible to calculate the deflection of the structure with respect to a baseline. It also mounts a temperature sensor to relate thermal excursion and static deformation. Ideal for static monitoring of large structures and static load tests.

Operation

Operation with programmed acquisitions

Record of a tilt sample at a fixed cadence as set by the user (once every 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes). Each sample of inclination is derived by averaging 16 seconds of observation. For each acquisition also the temperature is recorded.
All sensors are synchronized in time in order to sample the structure at the same time. Acquisition start time is aligned to multiples of the acquisition cadence starting from 00:00. Examples:
cadence is 2 minutes: 00.00, 00.02, 00.04, etc.
cadence is 5 minutes: 00.00, 00.05, 00.10, etc.
cadence is 15 minutes: 00.00, 00.15, 00.30, etc.
cadence is 30 minutes: 00:00, 00:30, 01:00, etc.
Custom Operation Software It is possible to request custom features that the customer deems necessary for their business.
Synchronization Accuracy ± 1 second
