High-standard reliability

CPU

Central CPU with a high reliability rate (over 99%*)

*More than 99% of the time of the time the equipment will be doing its job properly. This is achieved thanks to internal hardware and software (Capta-Watchdog) that minimizes the rate of system errors, ensuring correct operation.

Total and flexible energy autonomy: Connection to mains or pole with solar panel.

Option 1: Mains connection

  • MPPT solar charge controller.
  • Deep cycle battery of 30Ah at 12V.
  • Wired connection to nearby electrical junction point.

Total and flexible energy autonomy: Connection to mains or pole with solar panel.

Option 2: Solar

  • Solar panel from 30W to 300W.
  • MPPT solar charge controller.
  • Configuration of energy consumption according to measurement frequency.

Connectivity wherever the equipment is located

  • Multi-band communication system (4G/3G/2G).
  • High standard industrial application antenna 20X a conventional antenna.
  • Multi-company SIM card, which searches for the best internet signal in each particular location.
  • (Optional) Connection to local internet network via ethernet cable.
  • (Optional) In case there is no cellular signal, wireless connection system via LoRa or Wifi.
  • (Optional – Under development) In case there is no cellular signal, satellite connection system.

High precision measurements

Water height measurement
high accuracy and robustness to failures.

Temperature compensated ultrasonic height sensors; 2, 4 and 6m range and up to 0.25% accuracy with respect to their total range.

(Optional) Radar type height sensors that do not require temperature compensation, 7m range with ±2mm accuracy.

Speed measurement
in channels, half-filled or pressurized pipes.

Doppler sensor submerged in the bottom of the channel with redundant height sensors, hydrostatic pressure type and ultrasonic.

Ideal for half-full pipes changing from regime to pressure flow, or channels without gauging section without sediment accumulation.

(Optional)

Radar Speed Sensor
for non-contact surface velocity measurement.

Radar for surface velocity measurement without water contact.

Suitable for measuring without gauging section, allowing to estimate the flow rate.
