EWS Switch - Vibrating Wire Telemetry

EWS’s Switch-VWT (Vibrating Wire Telemetry) is a compact, low power, multi-comms data transmitter and VWP convertor in one.

It reads vibrating wire and temperature sensors and transmits frequency and temperature measurements wirelessly to the EWS web portal over either the Iridium Satellite Network or LTE.  The data is available for storage, processing and display as well as to export data into client databases via FTP, SFTP, XML, CSV or email.

The Australian manufactured Switch-VWT is ideal for new and retro-fit instrumentation projects where unattended collection of readings from VWP sensors is required.

Easy to set up and configure with a standard mobile device plus the EWS SwitchComm app, the Switch-VWT sets the global standard in Geotechnical Monitoring.

Product Details

The Switch-VWT comes as either single, 4-channel or 8-channel option for versatility around nested bores or clustered vibrating wire instruments.

For ease of installation the Switch-VWT is pre-programmed for simple plug and play onsite. The VW sensors are connected to the Switch-VWT via a simple pluggable screw terminal block or M12 plug.

The user then connects via Bluetooth to the unit to take a manual reading to confirm the installation.
