Product catalog summary
Typical Applications
The Enhanced Axial Strain Gauge IoT Sensor by Resensys is designed for structural health monitoring across various infrastructures such as airplanes, bridges, buildings, cranes, tunnels, platforms, and machinery. It is also suitable for fatigue analysis, bridge load tests, fracture critical monitoring, extreme load tests, and detecting overweight loads like dump trucks.
Benefits
The sensor offers a long lifetime due to its solar-powered design, making it almost maintenance-free. It is a stand-alone IoT device capable of sensing, collecting, and uploading data to a remote server. The device is easy to mount using flange mounts or adhesive tape and is weatherproof with IP68 ingress protection, ensuring durability against rain, snow, and UV exposure.
Specifications
The transceiver box measures 140mm x 105mm x 62mm, while the strain gauge sensor is 76.2mm x 33mm x 9mm. The device weighs 0.8 kg and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C. It supports LTE-M/NB-IoT wireless communication and can perform two-channel measurements independently. The sampling rate is customizable up to 10Hz, and it integrates with third-party strain transducers. The sensing element has a resolution of 1 με and a range of ±1000 με.
Description
The Resensys IoT sensor is versatile and cost-effective for distributed structural integrity monitoring. It can measure two separate strain gauges and is powered by a solar panel, eliminating the need for battery replacement. The device is IP68 rated, making it suitable for outdoor installations. It requires a Nano SIM card with 4G LTE support for data transmission to a remote server. The strain gauge is designed for steel surfaces but can be customized for other materials. The device uses Resensys’s proprietary Active RF Technology for efficient wireless communication.
Installation
The wireless transceiver box can be mounted using screws and anchors or VHB adhesive tape. The strain gauge sensing element is self-adhesive and intended for steel structures.
Ordering Information
The part number for the 2 Channel steel strain gauge is SIOT-ST02-SL-001.

that once installed, it is almost maintenance free. The whole product meets IP68 standard (completely weatherproof). As a result, it is an excellent choice for strain monitoring applications that require the sensors to be installed some outdoor places which are often hard to reach. The device needs a Nano SIM card with an active plan that supports 4G LTE and a good cellular coverage to periodically connect to a remote server and send all measured data through the cellular network. It is a completely stand-alone product and does not need any other intermediate device such as a gateway. Weight:...
