AFeatures

Main features

Measurement applications

Use OBSESSIO X1 to monitor how a crack, an expansion joint or a displacement between measurement points evolves. The configuration depends on the associated sensor and on the structure.

When to choose OBSESSIO X1?

Consider this model when your application relies on a potentiometric measurement. Its datasheet specifies ≤ 20 µm accuracy (module + probe), an IP67 housing and a battery life of more than 2 years with one measurement per hour.

  • Interface for spring (0–150 mm), ball-joint (0–250 mm) or cable (0–1250 mm) potentiometric sensors
  • ≤ 20 µm accuracy (module + probe, including temperature variation)
  • Built-in temperature measurement with an NTC thermistor
  • Battery life of more than 2 years with one measurement per hour; 4.8 to 32 VDC external power possible
  • IP67 polycarbonate housing
  • Built-in data logger for data redundancy
  • Local configuration and reading from a smartphone, tablet or PC (Bluetooth/NFC)

Frequently asked questions

What is the battery life of OBSESSIO X1?

More than 2 years with one measurement per hour on a 3.6 V type A battery, according to its datasheet. A higher acquisition rate shortens the battery life; 4.8 to 32 VDC external power is possible. The project configuration must be specified to assess your needs.

Can the sensors be configured locally?

Yes. OBSESSIO X1, OBSESSIO X2 and DISTANCIO are configured and read locally from a smartphone, tablet or PC over Bluetooth/NFC; HORIZIO is configured over Bluetooth.

Which transmission options are available?

Depending on the model: Sigfox, LoRaWAN and LoRa P2P. The PACK FISSURE AUTONOME works with Sigfox or LoRaWAN. The datasheets of OBSESSIO X1, X2, HORIZIO and DISTANCIO also mention M2M radio protocols (Long Distance, Low Power). Tell us the connectivity constraints of your site.
