Mining is a complex operation that often needs remote control and alarm solutions.
DATRAN Australia’s 4G cellular and low power radio systems are widely used in the Australian mining sector. These systems can also be solar powered using our custom RSS solutions.
Typical uses and applications include the following:
Genset Monitoring
A very popular use of the 4G SMS Lite.
Your genet may even have the ability to signal low fuel warnings and faults.
High Temperature Alarms
Get a text message from a temperature sensor on a room, fridge, plant or even machinery.
Water Flow Meter Signals
Transmit the water flow (4-20mA signal) to the control room without needing control cables.
Dust Suppression
Remotely start and stop the irrigation dust suppression controller from a remote position. Check it is running or get text alarms if the pump stops.
Stop Go Traffic Signals
Remotely operate warning signs remotely. View the status from several kms away and remotely change stop to go.
Pump Faults or Mains Power Fail
Get advance warning alarms if a critical pump faults, the mains power goes out or the UPS kicks in etc.
Traffic Light Override
Projects have included integration with a traffic light controller to enable emergency services to force traffic lights to red.
Site Security Alerts
Get a text message every time the server room door is opened, or the storage room is accessed.
Whilst mines are in very remote regions of Australia many now have their own cell towers installed. All our cellular products are 4G so they are not affected by the recent closure of the 3G network.
We also have a range of high gain antennas, power supplies and DIN rail mounts for your solution.
Please contact us to discuss your control solutions for mining requirements.
