Engineering Scope
The low-power manhole cover status monitoring terminal is developed to meet the usage requirement of "manhole covers need to record opening, tilting or moving", and the collection, processing, communication and power supply are designed as one set of products. The project can start from new main board development, existing firmware modification or designated module integration. The development scope is confirmed based on the target function, existing foundation and delivery requirements.
Interfaces and Product Integration
Develop opening and closing or gesture detection, event wake-up, anti-shake, alarm reporting, installation status and battery management.
Power Supply and State Scheduling
Resident detection triggers wake-up, and the event is recorded after debounce confirmation; survival and battery status are sent periodically.
Data and System Integration
Clear connections and data formats around the door sensor or attitude detection interface, installation direction and anti-tamper input, and define recording, transmission, confirmation and abnormal status.
Prototypes, Testing and Deliverables
The installation parameters, event algorithm, alarm messages and simulated cover opening tests are formed, focusing on verifying the number of spurious wake-ups, installation angles, event response time and multiple alarm power consumption.
System Architecture and Operation
Resident detection triggers wake-up, and the event is recorded after debounce confirmation; survival and battery status are sent periodically.
- Interface composition: door sensor or attitude detection interface, installation direction and anti-tamper input.
- Work scheduling: Determine each status based on sampling, interaction and reception requirements, indicating which circuits continue to run.
- Exception handling: Define deadlines, bounded retries, and recovery behaviors for applicable communication, sensing, or execution tasks.
Design Conditions and Functional Limits
The judgment thresholds for different manhole cover structures require on-site verification.
Define power targets together with functional requirements. Battery-life estimates must specify the battery, temperature, operating cycle, event frequency and network conditions. Keep estimates separate from continuous-operation test results.

Will road vibration cause frequent awakenings?+
It is necessary to use the vibration samples after installation to set the threshold and confirmation time, and to count the number of wake-ups, valid events and false alarms respectively. You cannot just check the static current.
Is it possible to develop only part of an existing product?+
Module development or power consumption optimization can be carried out according to the existing interface and modifiable range. For this product, you first need to check the door sensor or attitude detection interface, installation direction and anti-tamper input, and then determine the modification and regression testing scope.
How to determine the cost and period of this project?+
The evaluation is split based on the delivery items such as installation parameters, event algorithms, alarm messages, and simulated cover opening tests; the prototype materials, structure, platform, external tests, and new functions are listed separately, and quotations and nodes are formed after the requirements and interfaces are confirmed.
