Good Vibrations: Get a Compact, Low Power, Multi-Comms Data Transmitter and Vibrating Wire Piezometer (VWP) Convertor In One.

As the sole Canadian distributor of all EWS’s product lines, Rice is proud to offer its clients the EWS’s Switch-VWT (Vibrating Wire Telemetry) —a compact, low power, multi-comms data transmitter and VWP convertor in one. Easily install vibrating wire and temperature sensors and transmit frequency and temperature measurements wirelessly over either the Iridium Satellite or LTE cellular networks.  Quickly store, process, display and/or export data into client databases via FTP, SFTP, XML, CSV or email. The Switch-VWT comes as either single, 4-channel or 8-channel option for versatility around nested bores or clustered vibrating wire instruments.

Some other key benefits:

  • Connects to virtually any standard environmental and geotechnical sensors—and read all vibrating wire sensors.
  • Capable of measuring sensors over SDI-12, 4-20ma, Pulse and Modbus.
  • Easy to use and scalable for fast and large-scale deployments.
  • Quick to set up using a nothing but a Bluetooth enabled smartphone app.
  • No risk of single-point-failure with each device transmitting independently 
  • Perfect for new and retrofit instrumentation and ideal for tails dam monitoring
