Prepared mode
One way of taking precautions for structures newly built is to install an X-Trigger without any further cabling: the X-Trigger is a sensor which provides a yes/no decision. If a previously defined threshold value is exceeded, it alters its optical characteristics. Under the pre-cabling option, a fiberoptic connecting cable between the sensor and the Opto-Box is included in the planning; this is then pre-cabled during construction. The new structure is thus prepared, at all times, for continuous surveillance. |

Sleeping mode
The so-called "sleeping mode" is designed primarily for prevention where risk levels are low – especially in newly built structures. This option involves the installation of sensors free of a direct and constant connection to an Opto-Box. Subsequent to a reference measurement, the sensor remains in place to provide "sleeping" evidence of changes in length in the structure in question. An on-site measurement can be made at any time, following connection to the Opto-Box. |

Permanent mode
This enables continuous measurement through connection to an Opto-Box, with and without remote querying. The aim is to ensure continuous surveillance through real-time monitoring. Here, data are recorded and analyzed in real-time. The system is continuously in operation, thereby enabling constant control monitoring. |
