Description
Wireless In-Place Inclinometer (IPI) System – Model EAN-56
The EAN-56 is an advanced wireless in-place inclinometer system engineered to monitor lateral ground and structural movements with high precision.
It is ideally suited for real-time deformation monitoring of slopes, retaining walls, tunnels, deep excavations, embankments, and other critical infrastructure projects where early warning and risk mitigation are essential to protect lives and assets.
The system comprises an array of digital inclination sensors installed within an inclinometer casing. Each sensor measures tilt at its fixed depth, and collectively, the array provides a complete deformation profile of the structure or soil mass.
The EAN-56 integrates wireless communication technology for efficient data transmission. Each sensor chain connects to a wireless node, which transmits recorded data via long-range radio frequency (RF) to a gateway. The gateway then uploads the information to a cloud-based or central monitoring platform, enabling seamless remote access and analysis.
With support for both SDI-12 and Modbus protocols, the EAN-56 offers exceptional versatility for integration with a wide range of dataloggers and automated monitoring systems.
