Crack monitoring
DL-8 IP is a compact and affordable data-logger
for structural and environmental
monitoring, located in a sturdy
container with protection degree IP-66
for outdoor installations, equipped with
solar panel, battery with longer life
and GSM/GPRS module (upon request)
for burdensome applications or prolonged
stays outdoors. The system allows
to program alarms thresholds set
by the user for each channel, that once
reached or exceeded, will automatically
generate a call or an alarm message
via SMS, to one or more numbers input
in the unit when programmed. Two
channels are also available, that can
be used to automatically activate local
alarm systems of visual (light) or sound
type (buzzer) in case the alarm thresholds
pre-set for one or more channels
are exceeded. The low purchase and
management costs render it ideal for
all monitoring applications which require
flexibility, prompt installation,
and facility to manage the acquired
data, also remotely. The data acquired
by the unit can be indeed downloaded
locally through the USB interface or remotely
through GSM/GPRS connection
(available upon request). The USB interface
allows to program the parameters
and data acquisition methods of
the sensors connected to the DL-8 unit,
through the local connection with a PC
or notebook on which the DL-8 MANAG-
ER software is installed. DL-8 is ideal in
the structural sector, such as for example
for monitoring holes through various
types of displacement transducers
in buildings and infra-structural works,
and also in the environmental sector,
for monitoring meteorological parameters
(temperature, humidity) or for the
constant monitoring of levels (reservoirs,
basins, lakes) or capacity measurements
concerning rivers.
