[0118] The instrument has an optional non-volatile memory that acts as a data logger or a simple detector. It can be equipped with

[0119] Both the acquisition system and the transmission are power-saving and use IoT protocols (SigFox, L oRa (registered trademark, etc.) have implemented specific functions adapted to optimize transmission Designed with extremely low power consumption technology, resulting in an average consumption of just microwatts per second. You get industrial electronics in units of reWatts (extended temperature range).

[0120] Information collected and / or processed (depending on whether data logger functionality is present) The transmissions have an average coverage of several kilometers on free frequencies (e.g. 868 in Italy). Mhz), network (point-to-network), point-to-point This can be done directly via point-to-multipoint or point-to-multipoint.

[0121] The transmission takes full advantage of the potential of the IoT network and, in the absence of any accidents, On average, they transmit at least one "still alive" signal and This allows for a gradual increase in periodic transmissions if an accident occurs on one of the

[0128] The device has a compact shape (a circular vessel with a diameter of approximately 25 cm or less) and is simplified for simplicity. It is simple to manufacture, easy to transport and even easier to install.

[0129] The size of sensitive elements (springs, magnets, fiber drivers, etc.) depends on the energy The production side requires specific calibration because it is governed by regulations that specify the energy class. Instead, sensitive elements can be placed directly next to electronic devices, creating a boxy Closing the container becomes very easy. All you need to do during installation is connect the relevant legs. All you have to do is.

[0130] The electronic device of the present invention is "calibrated" at a different energy than the standard. For both the sensor and the sensitive sensor with legs, differentiated for specific purposes, The connection between the legs and the electronics can be customized to the specific needs of the device itself. The device can be attached to any surface, whether it be a solid surface, a net or other (ground) It may or may not be securely bound to the structure on which it is installed.

[0131] The materials and shapes used will depend on the particular application. For example, inserting the device into a fluid container As a result, it is possible to minimize the transmission of signals when facing accidents such as mudslides and avalanches. To ensure high probability and maximize transmission power, it is primarily carried on the Earth's surface.

[0132] This type of hardware and software optimization allows the system to run on small batteries. By providing up to years of autonomy on a single charge, consumption can be reduced to almost zero. At the same time, it provides self-diagnosis to allow identification of malfunctions or transmission faults.

[0133] In addition to measurements to identify the incident and its location and its possible strength (in the case of optical fiber) Each transmission actually contains two important pieces of information: battery status and geographic coordinates. The first is basic information to understand the state of the system, the battery the second is very important in the face of an accident. If you are torn or pushed aside but not submerged, you can recover. Make it possible.

[0134] The assumed power source 7 is a battery, but a small solar panel can be inserted for internal recharging. It is possible to make the device completely autonomous.
