Abstract:
A system for monitoring the integrity of a plurality of ground conductors has a plurality of monitors, with a different monitor associated with each ground conductor. Each monitor includes a voltage sensor which monitors voltage on a closed circuit of the monitor. Upon the voltage sensor sensing an unexpected voltage, a transmitter of the monitor issues an “alarm” signal, which may be wireless (e.g., being sent using LoRaWAN protocol). The transmitter may issue other signals, including a periodic “heartbeat” signal to confirm continued operation of the monitor, and a “movement” signal to indicate movement of the monitor. The monitor may be GPS-enabled, in which case each signal may include the GPS coordinates of the monitor. The signals issued by the transmitter may ultimately be analyzed by an operator via a user interface platform, which may simultaneously display information regarding two or more of the plurality of monitors.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 4 , wherein said plurality of statuses include\n an \u201cidle\u201d condition in which the sensor node has not yet been associated with one of said plurality of ground conductors and/or has not yet been activated, an \u201calert\u201d condition in which the sensor node detects possible compromise of the integrity of the associated ground conductor, a \u201cwarning\u201d condition in which the sensor is not operating normally, but has not detected possible compromise of the integrity of the associated ground conductor, and a \u201cnormal operation\u201d condition in which the sensor node is operating normally and has not detected possible compromise of the integrity of the associated ground conductor.
