The CoverSensor is a trusted solution for securing critical infrastructure. It has been specially developed for monitoring manhole covers, doors, and other secure building openings, such as those found in substations and data centers. Owing to its self-contained design and rugged construction, the CoverSensor has been engineered to withstand sabotage, corrosion, and regular wear-and-tear.
The CoverSensor (1) is mounted on a slide (2) under spring tension. It is fastened to a surface such that it comes in contact with the door or cover (3) at a ferromagnetic point (note, if the door or cover is not ferromagnetic, a small piece of iron can be attached). The spring-loaded slide is pretensioned to compensate for slight movements to the door or cover (e.g., a vehicle driving over a manhole cover). Depending on the technology chosen, either an optical fiber or a copper cable (4) is manipulated, triggering a signal that is sent to the active monitoring unit. Alarms are sent over an IP network to the unified monitoring system (UMS)—a centralized software platform for asset management.
All parts are manufactured by our partner company Lancier Monitoring. Please visit their site for more info.
