FAQ – Gaia 200

The Gaia 200 is a wireless transmitter for the Maturix system. The temperature is measured using type K thermocouples and the data is transmitted with the help of the Gaia 200. The readings can then be viewed online in one of our web portals. It can be used for concrete temperature and concrete strength monitoring.

No – and that is the smart thing! You can access the temperature readings from your computer or smartphone at any time, anywhere. Once you have installed the equipment, you can follow the temperature and strength development online in real-time.

The data is sent using Sigfox. Sigfox is a wireless network designed to connect smart devices to the cloud. It benefits from longer range than Bluetooth and WiFi, and you can set up a Sigfox Gateway at your job site to create coverage – even at remote locations.

Installation is quick and simple. Secure the thermocouple to the rebar, connect it to the Gaia 200, and place the transmitter at a secure location. When a thermocouple is connected, the Gaia 200 transmits data every 15 minutes automatically.

It is only the inexpensive thermocouple that is embedded into the concrete. The transmitter is mounted next to the cast and can be reused for multiple monitorings. This not only gives a great flexibility, but also keeps the costs per monitoring down.

The battery lifetime depends on the usage and the conditions. When the thermocouple is inserted 24/7, the battery lifetime is up to 8 months before you need to replace the batteries.

This depends on the project. The Gaia 200 is a single-channel transmitter, which means that you can connect one thermocouple per device. Consider the amount of monitoring positions you will need to measure (at the same time) and you know how many devices you will need.

Check the Quick Start Guide.

The Gaia 200 has an IP64 rating, meaning it is designed to be dust-tight and can withstand water spray from any direction.

You can use type K thermocouples with the Maturix Transmitters (Gaia 200 / Orbit K).
