MDT – Loadsensing LS-G6 System
Easily and Comprehensively Measure Geotechnical and Hydrology sensors with the Loadsensing LS-G6 Surface Wireless Data Acquisition System
The LS-G6 system makes it easy to wirelessly monitor all of your surface sensors in real-time, using readily available and commonly used vibrating wire, digital and analogue geotechnical sensors. This long-range wireless data acquisition system offers many benefits to engineers, especially its ability to provide easily accessible periodic data readings and generate alarms if safety thresholds are exceeded.

- Fully Wireless System: Cuts out the costs and delays associated with installing and maintaining a cable network.
- Robust build: Long-lasting and reliable, even in very harsh operating environments.
- Alarm system: Real-time delivery of safety-critical data at user-defined intervals (from every 30 seconds to once every 24 hours) and alarm thresholds create an early warning system to prevent accidents and associated costs.
- Web-based interface: Very user-friendly way to monitor sensors, check communication status and download historical data.
- Custom Software: Easily monitor topology, sensor network, alarm thresholds, and have access to automatically generated reports (tables, graphs and notes).
