Deck Sensor Vertical Displacement (CEIL)

The DECK device is the only patented wireless sensor
on the market capable of measuring the uniaxial oscillations
of the structure providing displacement values
with an accuracy equal to that of the interferometric
radar (0.01 mm). The DECK device samples at 100 Hz,
constantly and remotely. It is also capable of detecting
temperature and vibration frequency. DECK is battery
powered and uses the LoRaWAN wireless communication
protocol.

OUTPUT DECK
DECK acquires data from 10 seconds before to 20 seconds
after (tot. 30 seconds) each stress of the structure
when the activation threshold – previously set on the
Web Platform – is exceeded.
The displacement values measured are expressed in
mm. It also acquires temperature data.

QUICK GUIDE TO USE
The DECK sensor is “plug and play”; by screwing the special antenna on its cover, the device will immediately start
trying to communicate with the Gateway. To ensure that the device is working properly the DECK device must be
oriented and installed correctly, following these specific steps:
1. ORIENTATION:
• The symbol shown in the center of the label indicates which is the axis of the structure (X; Y; Z) with
respect to which the DECK device collects measurements. This symbol also shows the orientation and
direction of that axis. Therefore:
• The axis of the structure of interest to the measurement must be aligned and oriented according to
the representation of the symbol.
• The letter identifies DECK’s specific measurement axis.
Z axis = Gravitational axis.
X – Y axes = Longitudinal or transverse axis of the structure.
2. INSTALLATION ON THE STRUCTURE:
• The installation location may vary depending on the orientation label on the device. Agree with the supplier
company on the correct place of installation of the DECK device on the structure.
• Securely install the DECK device on the wall, ceiling or floor using the special plate and screws/wall plugs
supplied.
• Install all sensors on the structure before powering and turning on the Gateway device.
3. SCREWING THE ANTENNA:
• Before activating the Gateway, screw the LoRaWAN 868 Mhz antenna onto the DECK device cover.
After meeting these orientation and installation requirements, the DECK device will be able to detect and forward
data to the Gateway without interference or data alteration. Verify, via the Web Platform, if the sensor just installed
is working properly. From the moment the Gateway is powered up, and therefore from the actual start-up
and activation moment, a maximum waiting of about an hour is required before it is possible to correctly view all
the sensors online.
