IoT Sensor PipeSens plus LoRaWAN® from LANCIER for pipe network monitoring The LoRaWAN® sensor PipeSens plus from LANCIER Monitoring GmbH is used for monitoring local and district heating pipes. The sensor is mainly used to detect leaks or damage to the insulation of pipe systems. By means of wireless monitoring via LoRaWAN®, rapid damage detection and early intervention are made possible in order to subsequently prevent greater damage and costs. PipeSens plus is a measuring and monitoring device for measuring and storing insulation and loop resistances. It measures the insulation and loop resistance of pairs of wires in the insulation layer of district heating pipes on a daily basis. The PipeSens plus device additionally offers two contact inputs. These enable, for example, the detection of states such as float switches, temperatures or access controls. By means of the temperature sensor built into the unit as standard, it is possible, for example, to detect whether district heating shafts have been filled with rainwater or medium water. The sensors are battery-operated, an external power supply or separate cable installation is not required. A parser for using the PipeSens in the ZENNER ELEMENT IoT platform is available. Configuration is done via the PipeSens configuration software on a mobile computer.
