CV3000 Next G
Case Study - Oil-flow Monitoring
Agricultural Group
• Agricultural property located 70 km out of Griffith
• Monitoring bore pump failure/supervision.
• Previous cost = 1 man + 1 truck, 4 hours/day, every day.
• Cost of one bearing failure > $30,000
• 235,000 Acres (~1000 km2 ).
• 11 irrigation bore pumps.
• Primary need: Pump bearing “oil-drip” fail detection
- Low-flow Monitoring (cont’d)
Optical Solution (E State design)
•
•
•
•
Optical-fibre switch - non-invasive.
Count “drops”; Logged as “mL” total per day.
SMS Alarm sent on flow failure.
Auto-shutdown after delay, or immediate SMS shutdown.
Case Study – Soil Moisture Monitoring
AquaSpy Group
• Approx 600 client sites around Australia and the Americas.
• Sites are all solar-powered.
• Originally CDMA; converted to Next G.
• Interface to AquaSpy soil-moisture probe.
• Data is logged and transferred as packet data once every 15
minutes to AquaSpy server.
Case Study – Weather Station
(for NSW RTA)
• Weather Monitoring at major road-works sites around NSW.
• Direct interface to Davis Weather Station.
• Packet-data transfer to Web-based application.
• SMS alarming on specific weather warnings
• “Pass-thru” mode supported on circuit-switched dial-up for direct
access by Davis proprietary software.
• Solar-powered sites.
• Current trial is with 20 sites.
Case Study – Sports Playing Fields
Parramatta Council
• Field lighting and irrigation control for 34 park sites.
• Remote scheduling of lighting & irrigation.
• SMS override by club members if training is cancelled – significant
energy savings.
• Access control to amenities buildings.
Case Study – Water Quality Monitoring
Sentinel Pty Ltd
• Stream water-quality monitoring at mine sites around
Australia (Next G) and in Asia (GSM/GPRS).
• Next G packet-based data transfer to Sentinel’s server.
• Direct interface to Hydrolab MS5 probe.
(Depth, pH, turbidity, dissolved Oxygen, conductivity)
• All sites are solar-powered.
Case Study – Channel Irrigation
• On-farm automated irrigation channel gate control system.
• CV3000 Next G hub, plus radio-node at each gate.
• Automated sequencing of gate opening and closing.
• Bay level detection.
• Significant improvement to water management
• A trial farm site with 80 gates is due for installation.
Case Study – Railway-Crossings
A.R.T.C.
• Monitoring of rail-crossing fault-detection equipment.
• Measurement/Logging of rail and ambient temperatures.
• Next G packet-data log/fault
transfer to central server.
• SMS Alarms
Case Study – Reservoir Control
Gunning Shire Council
• CDMA to Next G conversion.
• Pump monitoring.
• Reservoir level monitoring.
• Pump control based on reservoir levels.
• Mix of solar and mains-powered sites.
Other Applications
• CellVisor has been applied to a range of applications:
•
•
•
•
Bore Pump, Lateral/Pivot Irrigator monitoring.
Radio Tower monitoring.
Fire-fighting Pump controller - stand-alone.
Frost detector - Temp/RH/Dewpoint
Temp/RH/Dewpoint
(Solar-shield removed)
Solar/Low-Power
• In “Standby” mode, the CV3000 draws around 50 mA
•
•
(Modem inactive)
On change of any input, the CV3000 will wake immediately
and will SMS an alarm or start logging pulses.
SMS Control achieved by “checking mailbox” on wake.
