What is the required depth for sensor installation?

To prevent microcracks and structural weakening, sensors must have a minimum coverage of 5/8 in / 1.5 cm. In areas without direct load impact (such as vertical mounting in columns), a coverage of 3/8 in / 1.0 cm is sufficient. The material used for covering can be chosen according to the specific requirements of the […]

What is the maximum allowable depth for sensor installation?

The standard installation depth for moisture or corrosion sensors is limited to 12 in / 30 cm. However, it is possible to achieve a depth of over 328 ft / 100 meters in concrete by using an extended antenna. With the extended antenna setup, the reading unit and the measuring unit are housed in two […]

What happens if a sensor fails?

In the rare event that a sensor completely embedded in concrete fails to function, which occurs with a frequency of less than 0.01% due to stringent manufacturing quality standards and thorough sensor-specific quality assurance, a secondary sensor is typically installed near the original sensor using core drilling. The non-functional sensor remains in place as its […]

What occurs if the sensor wire on the corrosion sensor corrodes?

When the sensor wire corrodes, it is immediately detected during the reading process. With continuous 24/7 monitoring through gateways, proactive alerts are triggered. Because each sensor comprises two wire layers, the advancement of corrosion towards the second wire layer can be monitored. However, once a sensor wire corrodes, it cannot revert to its initial state. It […]
