Accutech network monitoring

Accutech helps eliminate complex, hardwired installations and makes it easy to deploy and monitor sensor networks across remote oil and gas applications.

All instruments incorporate power saving in an IECEx HazLoc-approved, package.

The wireless instruments are typically installed 460 to 760 m from the base radio or at a shorter distance if obstructions exist. Using low frequency, licence-free, military-grade secure radios, the instruments offer good propagation through obstruction and foliage, resulting in reliable communications.

The instruments have been designed with the focus on simplifying network deployment. Each is equipped with an LCD that reports radio signal strength. Operators can set up and deploy the network in minutes without design and network analysis. In-built power management algorithms optimise battery use to ensure uninterrupted operation for up to five years.

The system is claimed to give up to a 75% reduction in deployment costs, relative to a wired solution and save about 20% in annual operational costs.
