    FT Laboratories has developed a wireless monitoring system using a sensor network to transmit instrument data. The self-forming network transmits data hop-by-hop to a Gateway, then to FT's data center for processing and alerts. This eliminates wired connections and allows dynamic routing and remote programming. The low power system can operate nodes for a year on two AA batteries and is used to monitor slopes, environments, construction sites, and structures.

    WIRELESS INSTRUMENTATION

    MONITORING SYSTEM

    Wireless Sensor Networks for Real-time Monitoring of


    Instruments
    FT Laboratories has developed a truly wireless monitoring system for use with geotechnical instruments.

    Synopsis:

    Eliminating wires, the wireless sensor


    network is a self-forming and self-
    healing data transmission network
    between instruments to the
    ‘Gateway’. Data transmission is no
    longer limited to easily damaged sin-
    gle wire point to point connections,
    but can be transmitted hop to hop
    through the ad-hoc network using
    the most efficient routing.
    Data received at the Gateway is
    transmitted to FT’s data centre for
    processing and uploading to our se-
    cure DeMon website (see separate
    datasheet for full description) from
    which alerts, data and reports are
    generated.
    Instrument alerts are automatically
    notified through e-mail or sms.

    Key Features Applications:

    ‘Over the Air’ programming • Slope monitoring (Landslides)


    • Environmental monitoring—indoor and outdoor
    Over the air programming allows greater flexibility to data
    • Geotechnical instrumentation on construction sites
    acquisition. The monitoring frequency for any instrument
    • Structural instrumentation on buildings
    within the network can be changed remotely through the
    internet. This can be manually by the engineer, or event
    driven through FT’s DeMon website.
    For example: if a piezometer measuring data on a daily
    basis, reaches its alert value, an instruction can be auto-
    matically sent by FT’s DeMon website to the sensor to
    increase the monitoring frequency to, say, hourly until the
    piezometer has returned to ‘normal status’.
    Such an example allows precise modeling of rain storm
    events by optimizing the data acquisition frequency during
    none critical events.

    Internet Gateway

    The ‘Gateway’ comprises of a datalogger and is connected


    to the internet; in most cases this will be through a physi-
    cal Broadband connection, but as illustrated on the below
    photo, this could also be through a GPRS connection al-
    lowing truly wireless monitoring for remote sites.

    Low power
     Instrument node, comprising piezometer sensor in bore-
    The system is designed around a low power consumption hole, with node hardware and antenna in protective box
    concept. Nodes can operate for one year on just two AA
    batteries.
