River and Creek Level Sensor (Ultrasonic)

OVERVIEW

INCYT’s Ultrasonic water level sensor is ideal for measuring water levels in open-air environments such as rivers and creeks. When an intense water front hits your area and you’re not able to go check river and creek levels yourself, it becomes even more important to be aware of their water levels so you know when to start a pump, bring livestock to higher ground, etc. With INCYT’s ultrasonic river and creek level sensor you now have an accurate way to monitor all your rivers and creeks, and receive alerts when a certain level (high or low) has been reached. You no longer need to drive across your operation to manually check water levels and can share this data with anyone you like through the INCYT cockpit.

HOW IT WORKS

INCYT’s ultrasonic channel level sensor utilises INCYT’s XR network, so you’re not restricted to only using this in areas where you’ve got a cellphone signal - as long as a section of a river or creek is within reach of your INCYT base station, you’re able to use the ultrasonic water level sensor! The ultrasonic water level sensor gets paired up with an INCYT blue node, giving you up to 8 (!) years of battery life!

The installation kit includes an ultrasonic water level sensor, blue node and mounting bracket. To mount the ultrasonic water level sensor over your river or creek you have multiple options depending on the infrastructure present. If no existing structure is in place to which the bracket can be mounted, you can either decide to create your own mounting structure or purchase an INCYT frame that has been created to suit most rivers / creek structures. Once the water level sensor is mounted, simply connect it to the blue node and install the blue node on top of the mounting structure.

The water level data is available to you through the INCYT cockpit, which allows you to share this data with other users on your INCYT account as well. You are able to see the current river or creek fill level as well as level changes over the past days and weeks. Alarms can be set for when a specific levels ( capacity in %, volume, or depth ) has been reached, for when usage over a specified time frame exceeds a set amount, or when the level increases by a set amount (river or creek is rising by more than x amount in x time period). The reporting frequency of the water level sensor is once every hour.
