Description of some typical SmartGuard systems
Hyd-Met station
A typical Hyd-Met station with SmartGuard uses an Aanderaa mast
equipped with air sensors and subsea sensors measuring e.g. current
and waves. A Real-Time communication device, e.g. a GPRS modem
provides on-line connection to a receiving location.
Aanderaa can also provide in-line moorings, bottom mooring frame,
and data buoy installations with current profiler instrument.
Refer Appendix 3 for an example of a SmartGuard hyd-met station
system drawing.
Road-station
A typical Road station with SmartGuard uses an Aanderaa Road
Condition Sensors and a mast equipped with air sensors, and a rainfall
sensor. A Real-Time communication device, e.g. a GPRS modem provides on-line connection to a receiving
location.
Automatic Weather Station (AWS)
A typical AWS installation uses an Aanderaa mast equipped with air
sensors and a rainfall bucket sensor. The SmartGuard can be installed
inside the Weather Station housing. A Real-Time communication
device, e.g. a GPRS modem provides on-line connection to a receiving
location.
Wind and Tide Station
A simple wind and tide monitoring system for e.g. small
harbours/marinas uses an Aanderaa mast equipped with wind sensors,
and a tide sensor with temperature reading. A UHF/VHF radio provides
data transmission to a receiving location.
