7 Applications of Caipos Flood and Precipitation Soil Moisture Monitoring Water Level Monitoring 段 落 文 字 内 容 Irrigation Management Grain Storages Road Monitoring Green Houses Weather Monitoring

8 Products CaipoRain Water Level Station Weather Station Wireless Sensor Soil Moisture Station Irrigation Control System Caipos soil moisture, water level, precipitation, weather monitoring systems.

9 Advantages of Caipos Advanced technologies: Caipos uses the latest developments in measurements and data transfer technology Ultra low power consumption: Modern design and optimized data processing allows minimizing the energy consumption and extends battery life. Data transfer: Data is sent via GSM/GPRS to central data platform every hour or according user s settings, also on alarm conditions

10 Advantages of Caipos Reliability: Caipos systems are proven to reliably operate in harsh weather and geographical conditions. Low cost: low power consumption and minimum maintenance significantly reduce the costs. Central data platform: All stations are controlled and configured via single web platform Easy Installation: Stations are easy to install and don t require any configuration

11 Soil Moisture Monitoring Soil Moisture Monitoring Systems Caipos consist soil moisture station and web application Soil moisture and soil temperature sensors can be connected to the base station by cable or through wireless sensor nodes

12 Principle of Operation and Features Soil Moisture Sensor: Z100 Principle of Operation: FDR, Frequency Domain Reflectometry sensor measures dielectric constant of soil under different frequencies. The dielectric constant allows to calculate the volume of water in the soil Features of Z100: Easy installation and continuous operation High accuracy: 2.5% without calibration, 0.1% with calibration Sensor does not destroy soil structure It can be used in all types of soil Low cost Z100 Installation

13 Technical Data Z100 Water Potential Soil Temperature Frequency Measurement range 80 MHz 0%(VWC).. saturation Measurement range Accuracy kPa 1kPa..4kPa Measurement range -20 C.. 70 C Accuracy ±1 C % Accuracy 2% Interface Operating temperature analog Measurement interval Interface Operating temperature 10 ms digital Interface Operating temperature analog C Soil Moisture Sensor Z100 Water Potential Sensor Soil Temperature Sensor

14 CaipoWave CaipoWave is an advance sensor network for soil moisture and soil temperature monitoring. Main features are reliability, low cost, zero maintenance, easy installation.

15 Principle of Operation Base Station GPRS Central Data Platform

16 Advantages of CaipoWave Wide Monitoring Area: up to 64 wireless sensors can be connected to one base station. Better Performance: Wireless sensors can be added, relocated, removed any time. They do not interfere with machinery operation or irrigation systems. Reliability: failure of one sensor node does not affect operation of other nodes.

17 Advantages of CaipoWave Soil moisture and temperature sensors Cost effectiveness Easy installation Communication range up to 1 km One battery for up to 5 years No maintenance No configuration

18 Advantages of CaipoWave Safety In open areas base station can be installed in protected place far from wireless sensors thus preventing from damages and unauthorized access Wireless sensor nodes are not easy to notice in the field, that can prevent from unauthorized access. Wireless sensors can be installed over 1 km 2 area Wireless sensor network installation

19 Irrigation control system Caipos Rational use of water for irrigation can be determined by the central platform Caipos based on the actual soil moisture. Wireless sensor nodes do not interfere with operation of irrigation systems.

21 Water Level Monitoring Caipos Water Level Stations consist of base station and water level sensor. Three types of water level sensors are supported by Caipos: radar, float and pressure sensors.

22 Water Level Monitoring Radar Pressure water level sensor Float water level sensor

23 Advantages of Caipos Water Level Non-contact measurement Radar does not need maintenance High accuracy Independent on weather conditions Measurement every 10 minutes Upload data every 1 hours Upload data every 10 min if change detected Automatic adjustment of water level Early time warnings

24 CaipoRain Feartures: Performance and reliability: CaipoRain is the smallest one-body precipitation, soil moisture and soil temperature monitoring station. Easy installation: main unit includes holder, RTU, battery, solar panel, GSM/GPRS antenna. Installation takes only 10 minutes. High quality: Best in class rain gauge delivers high accuracy, reliability and long term stability with minimum maintenance.

25 CaipoRain Features: Long term operation: CaipoRain uploads data for more than 3 months without sun light. Flash memory allows to store up to 4 years data. Alert in time: alert is generated within maximum 10 minutes after precipitation reaches predefined thresholds. Wide range of use: 5 soil moisture and soil temperature sensors can be connected Cost effectiveness: CaipoRain is cost effective solution for different applications

26 Weather Forecast Caipos offers 7 days local weather forecast, which is calculated on the base of weather station data. Forecast is updated 2 times a day.

27 Caipos for Green Houses Green houses monitoring with CaipoBase and CaipoWave is most effective and low cost solution.

28 Grain Storage Monitoring Grain temperature, inside and outside air temperature monitoring with CaipoWave

29 CaipoWeb All Caipos systems send data to central web platform. Free web space is provided for every station with instant access to data. Every user has his own account to work with his/her stations. Every account is password protected. Data of last 5 years can be accessed in real time. Data older than 5 years is archived and available on request. Web application can also be installed on customer s server.

30 Advantages of CaipoWeb CaipoWeb allows viewing data of several stations at the same time.

31 Advantages of CaipoWeb Soil moisture monitoring chart

32 Advatages of CaipoWeb Caipos web application has integrated support for wireless sensor nodes

33 Advantages of CaipoWeb Extra servers interface Central data platorm Data can be sent to 4 different servers at the same time. IP addresses of extra servers are configured by user. Data can be transferred to customers platform to use in other applications.

34 Caipos E-Warning GPRS GPRS CaipoBase Data Platform Web Warning Caipos Warning Soil Moisture Value<15% Soil Moisture Value<15% Air temperature Value<10 C Caipos E-Warning system send alert on mobile phone and , if a predefined thresholds is reached. Warnings help to react in case of frost, heat, critical soil moisture changes, precipitation, water level and others.
