Crack sensor

Used to monitor structural movement including pile separation, crack movement and expansion joint movement.

The crack sensor node connects to a linear displacement sensor. It is high-precision sampling circuitry that drives the sensor and reports its measurements via Senceive's wireless communication network to a gateway. It has been successfully used in many applications, including those measuring:

  • Crack motion
  • Pole separation
  • Structural movement
  • Joint monitoring of enlargement

Features

  • Watertight, robust connectors for easy installation
  • Automatic sensor type detection
  • Extremely low sound performance
  • 16-bit resolution (65,536 steps across the full scale)
  • Integrated long life battery
  • 12-15 year battery life
  • Internal temperature sensor
  • One and two channel variants offered as standard
  • Waterproof to IP66 / IP67 / IP68
  • Various mounts available for easy on-site installation

FlatMesh crack sensor node - FM3N-CS and GeoWAN crack sensor node - LR3N-CS
