idSET Solar – Smart monitoring for oil separators in off-grid locations
idSET Solar is a solar-powered alarm and communication unit with an internal modem designed for monitoring oil layer thickness, sludge accumulation, and high liquid levels in oil and sand separators — especially in off-grid locations where mains power is unavailable. It ensures reliable environmental protection even in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
idSET Solar detects
- High liquid level
- Oil layer thickness
- Sludge layer thickness
- Separator leakage
idSET Solar is equipped with an internal modem that utilizes LTE-M and NB-IoT (4G) communication technologies for remote monitoring and alarm transmission. In addition, an external beacon light can be connected to the device. In an alarm situation, the beacon light flashes and/or a notification is sent to the user’s mobile phone or LabkoNet cloud service.
Key benefits of idSET Solar
- Energy-efficient operation
The system remains in standby mode most of the time, activating only at scheduled intervals to perform measurements, minimizing power consumption and maximizing battery life.
- Fully autonomous functionality
Powered by solar energy and equipped with a rechargeable battery, idSET Solar operates independently of external power sources, making it ideal for off-grid or hard-to-access sites.
- Smart alarm notifications
idSET Solar is equipped with an internal modem with LTE-M and NB-IoT (4G) communication technologies, and an external indicator light can be connected to the device. In case of an alarm, the system can trigger a flashing beacon, send SMS alerts to predefined contacts, or both. Alarms are also displayed locally on the control unit during its brief wake-up period.
- Remote monitoring capability
As equipped with an internal modem, idSET Solar can receive configuration updates and transmit measurement data at predefined intervals, enabling remote management and diagnostics.
- Modular and compatible design
The idSET-32M Battery control unit supports various idOil/idSET sensors, allowing flexible system customization based on site-specific needs.
System package includes
- Solar panel housing
- Rechargeable battery
- Charge controller
- Applicable idSET-32M Battery control unit (solar version with an internal modem)
- Selected idOil/idSET sensors
- Suitable cable connector
- Mounting kit for sensors
Note! If you require a device without an internal modem, choose idOil Solar oil separator alarm.
