Description

MAIN FEATURES

 

Butterfly-P is a rain monitoring and alarm system able to transmit the data via GPRS in a protected internet area (FTP area) and  send alarms in real time via SMS to alert quickly the available personnel.   

 

Working logic

Butterfly-P has a logic of operation managed by a microprocessor that allows to configure both the storage and data transmission rate (5-10-15-30-60'), as well as the rain alarm threshold expressed as mm of rain in the chosen storage period. As soon as the rain measure overcomes the set threshold, Butterly-P sends a SMS to the available personnel and in the same time it increases the storage and transmission rate to 1 minute, so that the precipitation event can be analyzed especially during its more critical phases. With this solution it gets a true RAIN RATE (not estimate) with a practically "instantaneous" rainfall measurement that makes it possible to take more effective action to alert the population.

Furthermore the alarm threshold and the rain rate can be reprogrammed, also by remote, to get a more accurate characterization  of the microclimatic conditions; in fact, more and more frequent cloudbursts of strong intensity require frequent adjustments of the rain alarm thresholds. 

 

Constructive technology

Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, Butterfly has a very low power consumption that allows it to mount small size batteries and small solar cells, thus achieving a very compact, low-impact device. Wireless technology combined with autonomous power allows you to install Butterfly at any point of interest without the need for connections, making it an ideal tool either as a single measuring station or as a multi-point monitoring network spread across the territory. The detected data are all referenced to the same date and time by NTP (network time protocol) synchronization. Butterfly is housed in an outdoor pool box so it can be used in any outdoor environment.

Butterfly-P is housed in a water-proof box so it can be used in any outdoor environment. In the "Butterfly" model the device can connect many transducers for environmental and industrial monitoring, making it extremely adaptable to any weather, micro-climate, geotechnical or any other remote monitoring application
