Precision Monitoring with the Profound Intelligent Sensor System
The Profound Intelligent Sensor System, is an effective tool for precision monitoring in geotechnical engineering. Real-time measurement data online or on your PC enables remote monitoring of your project. For more than 25 years, the unique and reliable IS system including the IS closed liquid leveling system has been successfully used in a large number of monitoring projects worldwide.
The IS system combines advanced network technology with existing cost-saving techniques. Other advantages include quick and easy installation, digital processing and minimal time and effort required to frequently read a high number of sensors.
Key Features
- High Accuracy: Utilizes 24-bit A/D conversion and full digital transmission for uncompromised quality
- Versatile Configuration: Supports up to 25 measuring points for stand alone networks per logger
- Economical Setup: Quick and straightforward installation process reduces initial costs
- Low Maintenance: Effortlessly read sensor data frequently with minimal time and effort
- User-Friendly Design: Simple repairs and expansions with 4-wire, color-coded cables
- Self-Sufficient Sensors: Vital calibration data stored within the sensors, ensuring consistent performance
- Frequent Insights: Enables remote project monitoring in real-time, ensuring quick access to critical information
Application
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.

Operation
With the fully digital IS-module in combination with the IS-field unit you can directly set-up a geotechnical monitoring network for up to 25 measuring points per logger in the field (battery powered). The IS-module is the network power supply, data logger, transmitter and provides a data backup.
Data Handling
The IS-module is powered by a Lithium battery and a built-in solar panel. The energy harvesting via the integrated solar panel ensures optimum use of the available power. The combination of both battery and solar panel enable the IS-module to efficiently operate in the field. The module can also be permanently connected to the mains, then the internal battery works as a UPS.
This compact, versatile device features an integrated 4G modem, allowing you to connect various sensors, such as load cells, pore pressure, and liquid level sensors, for seamless global data transmission.
