FRINSO V1.0 – CGWA / CPCB Telemetry
Certified-ready IoT edge for groundwater abstraction and environmental compliance. Streams flow, level, and quality data to mandated government portals with strong security and reliability.

*Representative model with CGWA/CPCB labeling.
Overview
The FRINSO V1.0 CGWA/CPCB variant is a rugged Industry 4.0 IoT Edge gateway purpose-built for statutory telemetry. It collects water abstraction, groundwater level, and quality metrics from meters and sensors, validates them on-device, and securely publishes to CGWA/CPCB endpoints as per prescribed intervals, while also serving enterprise dashboards.
Key Features
Meter Integrations
Modbus flow meters, pulse meters, piezometers, WQ sensors (pH/TDS/EC/DO).
Sampling & Push
Locally configurable sampling (e.g., 1–15 min) and push intervals as per guidelines.
Govt. API Ready
Native integrations for CGWA/CPCB; retry, ACK tracking, and audit trails.
Power Resilience
Wide 9–36 VDC input, brownout protection, data buffering during outages.
Tamper Evident
Covers door open, meter disconnect, SIM/antenna removal, RTC drift.
Remote Ops
OTA updates, remote diagnostics, logs, and provisioning from Frinso Cloud.
Supported Sensors & Meters
Flow Meters
Electromagnetic/Ultrasonic; Modbus or pulse output.
Groundwater Level
Piezometric level transmitters (4–20 mA / Modbus).
Water Quality
pH, EC/TDS, DO, ORP (4–20 mA / Modbus).
Pressure
0–10 bar 4–20 mA transmitters.
Valve/Pump Status
Digital inputs for RUN/STOP, trip, tamper.
GPS (opt.)
Geo-tagging and time sync for remote wells.

}CGWA / CPCB Compliance
- Sampling & Push: Configurable (typ. 5–15 min sampling; 15–60 min push) as per circular/consent.
- Data Retention: Local buffer & encrypted storage; automatic backfill on link restore.
- Tamper: Meter disconnect, enclosure open, RTC drift, SIM/antenna removal, power events.
- Reports: Daily/Monthly abstracts for audits; CSV/JSON exports.
Installation
- Mount IP65 enclosure near meter/piezometer; ensure antenna clearance.
- Wire RS-485/analog/digital lines per labels; verify polarity and shielding.
- Insert SIM(s), set APN; power-on with 12/24 VDC supply.
- Provision via local web UI; select sensors, sampling, and CGWA/CPCB endpoint keys.
- Run test push and confirm ACK/status on portal.
Operations & Alarms
- • On-device thresholds for dry-run, abnormal level/flow, sensor fault.
- • SMS/Email/Push via Frinso Cloud; webhook to plant SCADA.
- • Watchdog, auto-recovery, link failover (SIM-A → SIM-B → Wi-Fi/Ethernet).
Security
- • TLS 1.2+ to portals; device & server certs; key rotation.
- • Secure boot, signed firmware; role-based users; audit logs.
- • Encrypted buffers at rest; brute-force lockout; optional tamper switch.
Cloud & Reports
Frinso Cloud
Dashboards, alarms, device management, reports (daily, monthly, abstract), exports.
Integrations
MQTT/REST to enterprise systems; push mirrors to customer SCADA/ERP.
FAQ
Will it work if the site loses internet?
Yes. Data is buffered locally and auto-backfilled when connectivity returns.
How frequently does it send data?
As per consent order—commonly 15–60 minutes (configurable).
Can we view data on our own portal?
Yes. We mirror to Frinso Cloud and can forward to your SCADA/ERP via APIs.
Is enclosure outdoor-ready?
Yes—IP65 model with gland sealing, surge-protected power.
