IS-system - Geotechnical Monitoring System
The Profound Intelligent Sensor-system is an effective tool for precision monitoring in the geotechnical field. Real-time measuring data on your PC enable you to monitor your project remotely.
For over fifteen years the unique and reliable Profound IS-system and more specifically the IS-Liquid Levelling System has been successfully used in a great number of monitoring projects worldwide.
The IS-system combines advanced network technology with existing, economical techniques. Other advantages are the fast, simple installation, the digital administration, and the minimal time and effort necessary to frequently read so many sensors.

Operation:
|
Depending on the project requirements, an IS-system is a fully digital network of Intelligent Sensors, connected either to a single computer and IS-power supply, or to an IS-GSM module or with battery holder (stand-alone option).
Just one network cable interconnects the ‘Intelligent Sensors’, whereby the distance between measurement points can be hundreds of metres.
Usually the IS-system is PC network based. After start-up the network PC automatically detects the sensors attached to the network, and the sensors will start measuring at the time intervals set by the user. The measurement results are sent to the local central PC where you can view them in real-time.
If you equip the IS-network with a remote connection, you will also be able to view the data remotely. You can quickly and easily process, export or graphically display the measurement results on a Windows PC, and you can customise the IS-system to your own needs. |
| Applications: |
Typical applications include monitoring of settlements and pore pressures, as well as load monitoring and strain measurements.
Different types of measurements can easily be combined in one network, as each sensor (e.g. load, strain, or pressure sensor) has been equipped with the ‘Intelligent Sensor’ (IS) technology. |
Intelligent Sensor
|
All relevant parameters, like sensor type, calibration and scale factors can be stored in the memory of the IS-sensor.
You only have to set the measuring frequency in the network PC and the PC will collect the measurements accordingly. |
