FloodAlert - Flood Warning System
Verified by manufacturer 5 months ago
Early flood warning system for single and multiple properties at risk of flooding.
Application
Suitable for surface water, groundwater and watercourse flood events.
Description
An early warning system for single and multiple properties at risk of flooding through rising levels in surface water, groundwater and watercourses. FloodAlert posts can be strategically positioned to give maximum warning to allow for evasive action.
The posts transmit warnings and real-time monitoring of water levels to a cloud-based portal, accessible from any internet enabled device, with no necessity for special software. A robust, ultrasonic LoRaWAN® level sensor and integrated radio, encased in a recycled, watertight and shatter-resistant outer casing is used to ensure consistent reliability.
Andel FloodAlert® Ultrasonic LoRaWAN® Sensor is a battery operated water level sensor with integrated LoRaWAN® radio. CE Conformance and RoHS Compliant.
The posts are buried in 0.5 m post holes and back-filled with gravel to allow groundwater to enter the post through the rows of holes – allowing the groundwater level can be monitored by the sensor. Posts can be installed up to 15 kilometers from the gateway in some cases and each gateway can connect to an unlimited amount of users.
Features and benefits:
- Easy installation and set-up.
- FloodAlert sensor sends SMS and email alerts to give user time to take evasive action.
- Live monitoring on a cloud-based portal, via any device with internet connectivity.
- Removable cap for maintenance such as battery replacement.
- Posts are constructed from durable, non-porous 100% recycled post-industrial plastic waste.
- Battery power lasts for up to 10 years.
- Three alert levels, tailored to each installation.
- Multiple FloodAlert posts can interconnect to form a network for flooding hotspots.
- Reflective red and white strips.
- Cloud-based monitoring software provides real-time live data to show current water levels, past water levels and information about signal strength, temperature and battery life.
