Sensornet Unveils Oryx DTS For Monitoring In Harsh Environments
The company, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, designed the unique system for harsh environments and is ideal for monitoring applications from desert to sub-zero conditions. Combined with satellite, radio link or fibre communications, the Oryx becomes a powerful remote logging DTS unit.
The autonomous, low powered system, able to operate from solar or wind power, has a continuous monitoring range of up to 5 000 metres and a sampling resolution of one metre. It can operate in environmental temperatures from -40C to 65C. The housing enclosure is IP66 rated or above to ensure weather and dustproof deployment.
The Oryx boasts a wide range of flexible communications options and a direct link to PCs or laptops. Set-up, channel configuration and measurement can be performed remotely, eliminating the requirement to be in the vicinity of the DTS unit at the wellsite location. Additional on-board memory ensures a high quantity of measurements can be taken, ideal for "drive-by" collection of data where a communications system would be cost-prohibitive.
The Oryx DTS is part of Sensornet's range of digital monitoring solutions to ensure that every monitoring requirement is met, specific to any need, environment and challenge.
Mark Watson, Sensornet's vice-president Middle East commented: "The Oryx is the latest addition to our market leading range of DTS systems. It offers the most robust and reliable performance to ensure every remote harsh environment monitoring requirement is met."
