GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

Butterfly-F1 is a multiparametric wireless sensor for the continuous forest monitoring and the alarm management in case of fire. Butterfly-F is able to transmit data via GPRS in a protected internet area (FTP area) and to send alarms in real time via SMS to alert the available personnel quickly.  The climatic parameters which are the macro-descriptors of a forest fire and that are monitored by Butterfly-F, are typically the temperature and humidity of the air and the carbon dioxide (CO2); Furthermore Butterfly-F is very versatile because it can connect several kind of transducers for the environmental and industrial  monitoring, making it extremely adaptable to any remote measuring application.

WORKING LOGIC

Butterfly-F1 has a logic of operation managed by a microprocessor that allows to configure both the storage cadence (5-10-15-30-60') and data transmission, as well as the alarm thresholds for all connected measurements. When one of the thresholds is exceeded, Butterly-F sends an SMS to the available personnel and at the same time increases the rate of data storage and transmission to 1 minute, so that the event can be analyzed especially during its more critical phases; in this way the intervention of firefighters and the people warning can be taken with more effective and rapid action.

In addition, the alarm thresholds and the "rate" of data storage and transmission can be reprogrammed, even remotely, to get a more accurate characterization of the microclimatic conditions of the site.

ADVANTAGES

• Low power consumption, compact and with low visual impact
• Data transmission and alarms in standard text format (CSV format)
• Easily installable and reprogrammable at a distance
• Reliability in time and minimum maintenance required
