Product catalog summary
Overview
The SenSpot™ Wireless Scour Probe by Resensys LLC is designed for monitoring bridge scour, hydraulic damage, and slope stability. It offers ultra-low power precision sensing and wireless communication, making it a scalable and easy-to-install solution.

Benefits
  • Long battery life of approximately 10 years.
  • Wireless data transmission eliminates the need for wiring.
  • Lightweight components: transceiver (450g), scour probe (0.8kg), and solar panel (100g).
  • Easy mounting options with flange or adhesive tape.
  • Weatherproof with IP65 ingress protection.
  • Maintenance-free with no need for battery replacement or calibration.

Specifications
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +65°C.
  • Wireless communication range up to 1.0km in free space.
  • Transceiver dimensions: 140mm x 105mm x 62mm.
  • Customizable probe length from 0.3m to 30m.
  • Up to 8 sediment detection glands with customizable spacing.
  • Optional stainless-steel support for sediment insertion applications.
  • Built-in temperature sensor with 1°C resolution.

Description
The SenSpot™ probe measures soil/sediment levels near bridge foundations using a novel method distinct from existing technologies. It consists of sediment sensing glands connected to electronic transducers within a waterproof tube. The probe can be customized in length and gland spacing to suit specific applications. It can be encapsulated in a stainless-steel profile for easy insertion into sediment.

Installation
The wireless transceiver box can be mounted using screws and anchors or VHB adhesive tape, suitable for steel and smooth surfaces.

Figures and Data
  • Figures illustrate the probe's installation on a bridge and its function post-erosion.
  • Data from SenScope™ includes acceleration and temperature measurements across different nodes.

Wireless Scour Probe SenSpot™-2

Description SenSpot™ wireless scour meter provides an easy way to install a scalable solution for measuring bridge scour, hydraulic damage, or slope stability. Bridge scour refers to the removal of sediment such as sand, soil, and rocks from around bridge piers or abutments by fast moving flood current. It can cause erosion around the bridge piers or abutments. As scour occurs progressively, supporting material around the bridge foundation is removed and it can lead to settling or other forms of foundation instability. Resensys Scour Probe SenSpot™ measures soil/sediment level close to the bridge...

Typically, the temperature variations are smaller at nodes in the water comparing the nodes inside the soil. Installation Wireless transceiver box comes with mounting flanges. It can be installed either with screws and anchors through the flange holes or with VHB adhesive tape (for steel and smooth surfaces). Email: [email protected]
