The Ackcio BEAM-AN Series (S1 and S4) are long-range wireless analogue nodes designed for real-time monitoring of sensors with voltage, current, Wheatstone bridge, or thermistor outputs in geotechnical and structural health applications.
These nodes form part of Ackcio’s robust wireless mesh network, offering secure and reliable transmission of analogue data from remote or hard-to-access sites to the central monitoring system.
Each node features a 24-bit low-noise differential ADC for high-accuracy signal conversion, supporting both ±10 V and 0–20 mA sensors with auto-calibration and dynamic range adjustment.
The devices are available in two configurations: BEAM-AN-S1, supporting up to one sensor (2 analogue + 1 thermistor channel), and BEAM-AN-S4, supporting up to four sensors (8 analogue + 4 thermistor channels).
Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the BEAM-AN series features an IP67-rated die-cast aluminium enclosure and a wide operating temperature range from −40 °C to +80 °C.
The system is powered by long-life internal Li-SOCl₂ D-cell batteries, ensuring years of unattended operation, with typical lifetimes up to 36 months depending on sampling frequency and network configuration.
The nodes communicate through Ackcio’s proprietary Ackcio Mesh firmware and are managed via the Ackcio Nimbus Android application for setup, diagnostics, and performance monitoring.
Advanced data integrity is ensured by AES-128 encryption, supporting up to 50 nodes and 12 mesh hops with transmission ranges up to 5 km (line-of-sight).
Integrated on-board sensors continuously record internal temperature and barometric pressure for self-diagnostic and compensation functions.
Optional small or large multipurpose mounting brackets allow flexible installation on walls, structures, or poles in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
