Wireless Communication Module for Concrete Crack Data Logger
The Wireless Communication Module is used with the Wireless Concrete Crack Data Logging System to transmit data via Wi-Fi. The module plugs into the USB port of a Windows PC or tablet to transmit data from up to 492ft (150m) away. Data loggers have up to 51,062 measurements of displacement and ambient temperature storage. Up to 32 Data Loggers can be monitored with one communication module. Data loggers can capture and record measurements at user defined intervals from 1 minute to 91 hours. Wireless Communication Module is included in the Wireless Concrete Crack Data Logging System or can be purchased separately.
Concrete Crack Monitoring
Concrete crack monitoring is a critical process to ensure structure, equipment and system integrity and safety. Cracks in concrete can lead to catastrophic failures resulting in major economic losses and even loss of life. So it is important to monitor and record data of crack development and progression. Concrete crack data loggers are devices that measure and record linear displacement of cracks and joints in concrete, masonry and other solid structures. They are used for predictive maintenance to detect cracks early and allow maintenance personnel to take corrective action before the situation gets critical.
