TA120

Noise measuring sensor for Smart Solutions

TheTA120 sensor combines the precision of a Class 1 sound level meter, maximumprotection of  an outdoor kit and full connectivity with  CESVA NoisePlatform and open source platforms.

  • Continuous measurement (24h / 7d) with class 1 accuracy according to IEC 61672-1
  • Measurement of LAeq and a selectable extra function (LCeq, LAFmax or LASmax)
  • Protection against external agents with an outdoor kit: wind, rain, birds and insects
  •  IP65 protection against dust and water
  • Compatible with NoisePlatform Platform  and various open source platform for sensors connectivity
  • Light weighted, small sized and easy to integrate into the urban furniture 
  • Powered by mains, POE (Power over Ethernet), 12 VDC (Solar panels, external batteries)
  • Communication by Ethernet (RJ45), loop 4-20mA*, Wi-Fi*, GPRS/2G* modem  (*Optional) 
  •  Smart cities sensing, noise surveillance networks (permanent monitoring), protection of quiet areas, displaying noise levels in real time, etc.

Main Features

Precision and reliability

The TA120 sensor measures, according to IEC 61672-1 class 1, the equivalent continuous sound level with A frequency weighting and a function to choose between the equivalent continuous level with frequency weighting C, maximum Fast level with frequency weighting A or maximum Slow level with frequency weighting A, in a single range of 35-120 dBA. The integration time is configurable between 1s* and 60min.

*Integration times shorter than 10s require high-speed networks.

It also allows to obtain the value of each second of one of the above functions. The measurement is continuous 24 hours / 7 days a week. The TA120 can be checked quickly with an acoustic calibrator (IEC 60942).


Fully integrated into the urban landscape

The TA120 is very easy to install on street lights, marquees, billboards, shelters, kiosks and advertising posts and requires minimum annual maintenance.

The TA120 is powered through the mains, POE, 12 VDC voltage or through the urban lightning network with battery backup. The BA120 optional battery guarantees the sufficient duration and charging time to complete annual cycles.

Maximum protection

The outdoor kit of the TA120 sensor allows respecting Class 1 measurement precision, to achieve a high protection against external agents such as wind, rain, birds and insects; reaching IP65 according to IEC 60529.

The TA120 ensures proper acoustic performance at temperatures between -10 and +50° C.
The materials used in the manufacture of TA120 ensure a long life cycle of the sensor.

Connectivity with IoT platforms

The TA120 sensor is fully integrated into different platform connectivity sensors as NoisePlatform,  Sentilo, Telefonica, SmartyPlanet, etc. The communication can be performed through:

  • Ethernet (LAN)
  • current loop 4-20 mA*
  • Wi-Fi module* 
(*Optional)

The TA120 uses HTTP and HTTPS (secure connection) with UL2.0 (UltraLight 2.0) format, JSON (Java Script Object Notation) format, or Other (consult).

CESVA NoisePlatform

Following the success of our original online system – capable of displaying and analysing real-time noise levels using a combined network of sensors and devices – we are introducing our new acoustic monitoring platform, designed to go further. This new version not only retains the robustness and reliability of the previous solution, but also incorporates key improvements and a higher level of detail in the data.

More data. More control. More responsiveness.

NOISEPLATFORM EVOLVES

The new version of NoisePlatform, a significant evolution in our data communication and visualization platform. This change isn't just aesthetic: we've completely redesigned the way information is organized, displayed, and contextualized, with the goal of providing a clearer, more convenient, and more effective experience for all users. With this update, it is now possible to access a much more complete view of the project, thanks to:

  • More information available, presented in a more structured and accessible way.
  • Dynamic and intuitive visualizations, which allow you to understand the impact of noise in real time.
  • A more orderly and functional design, designed to facilitate monitoring and decision-making.
  • Better integration of data and results, which allows a global understanding of the different areas of influence of the project.
  • Multichannel notifications, NoisePlatform allows you to receive automatic alerts for exceeding noise levels via push notifications in the App CESVA NoisePlatform or Telegram, adapting to the needs of each user.
This new approach facilitates both communication with different audiences and technical analysis by experts.

In short, NoisePlatform becomes a more powerful, clearer and much more useful tool to closely follow everything that happens around noise monitoring.

Supported Platforms

Sentilo

Sentilo is an open source sensor and actuator platform designed to fit in the Smart City architecture of any city who looks for openness and easy interoperability. It’s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of cities and companies that believe that using open standards and free software is the first smart decision a Smart City should take.

Telefonica

A Smart City is an environment that involves many technologies and multiple agents: from sensors scattered throughout the whole city (to collect any kind of data: traffic, water, energy) to the mobile devices of the citizens; from mayors to traders. All this data must be managed by a platform that centralises and processes it.

FIWARE

The FIWARE platform provides a rather simple yet powerful set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that ease the development of Smart Applications in multiple vertical sectors. The specifications of these APIs are public and royalty-free. Besides, an open source reference implementation of each of the FIWARE components is publicly available so that multiple FIWARE providers can emerge faster in the market with a low-cost proposition.
