Smart Manhole Monitoring Sensor
DC413 Smart Manhole Sensor
Cover Status and Water Level Monitor
DC413 combines manhole cover status detection and ultrasonic water or sewage level monitoring in one IP68 enclosure. It helps municipal teams detect cover movement, abnormal opening, water level rise, and drainage risk in real time.
Last updated: May 31, 2026
Core Capabilities
Integrated sensing for manhole safety and drainage risk
Cover Status Detection
Detects cover movement, tilt, opening, or abnormal displacement for timely safety alerts.
Water Level Monitoring
Uses ultrasonic sensing to monitor water or sewage level inside manholes and drainage wells.
False-Alarm Filtering
DC414 is the AI-assisted option in the same manhole monitoring family. Final DC414 specifications will be confirmed by its datasheet.
Outdoor Deployment
IP68 protection and low-power operation support long-term city infrastructure monitoring.
Hard Facts
Hard facts for product evaluation
DC413 can upload alerts and level data through LPWAN or cellular networks to Dingtek's platform or an integrated third-party system. Operators can review map locations, alarm history, response status, and trend reports from a Web portal, mobile app, or command center dashboard.

Big-Screen Dashboard
Designed for command centers to view city-wide infrastructure status, alerts, and risk distribution.
Web Portal
Supports device status, alarm management, historical records, and operational review.
Mobile App
Supports field inspection, alarm acknowledgement, location review, and maintenance feedback.
Deployment Scenarios
Typical use cases for municipal and utility infrastructure
Municipal Roads
Monitor manhole cover movement and abnormal opening on city roads and public areas.
Drainage and Sewer Wells
Track rising water or sewage level for drainage risk, flood prevention, and maintenance planning.
High-Traffic Areas
Use DC414 AI-assisted filtering when heavy road vibration or repeated environmental interference is a project concern.
Network Architecture
Flexible connectivity for smart city projects
DC413 supports NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, 4G, and Multi Tech Cat-M/NB-IoT options. The device can connect through a base station or gateway to a cloud server, then provide data for Dingtek's application, customer platforms, or integrated municipal systems.

Product Line Comparison
DC400 vs DC413 vs DC414 for manhole monitoring
| Selection point | DC400 | DC413 | DC414 AI option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Cover movement and abnormal opening alerts | Cover status plus water or sewage level monitoring | High-traffic sites that need AI-assisted event filtering |
| Level monitoring | Not the main function | Ultrasonic level measurement up to 4 m | Expected to build on DC413-level monitoring; final datasheet pending |
| False-alarm handling | Standard event detection | Standard event and level alarm logic | AI-assisted filtering for vibration-prone deployments |
| Typical project | Basic manhole safety monitoring | Drainage wells, sewer manholes, flood-prone locations | Urban roads, heavy traffic zones, and sites with frequent vibration |
| Procurement note | Use when cover status is enough | Use when both cover safety and level risk matter | Use when false-alarm reduction is a project priority; confirm final DC414 specs before purchase |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about DC413 Smart Manhole Sensor
What does DC413 monitor?
DC413 monitors manhole cover movement or abnormal opening and measures water or sewage level using ultrasonic sensing.
What is the level range?
The datasheet range is up to 4 m, with a 15 cm blind area. The installation height should be checked before rollout.
Which wireless versions are available?
Available versions include 4G, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Multi Tech Cat-M/NB-IoT.
How long does the battery last?
Datasheets reference more than 3 years for 4G and more than 5 years for LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Multi Tech under 4 uploads per day and 10 minute cycle detection. Actual life depends on field conditions.
What is DC414?
DC414 is the AI-assisted option in the manhole monitoring family. It can be discussed for false-alarm filtering, but final specifications should wait for the DC414 datasheet.
Is pricing public?
No. DC413 pricing is quotation-based after project requirements, network version, customization, and rollout scale are reviewed.
Project Fit
Designed for manhole cover safety and drainage monitoring
DC413 is suitable for smart city, municipal drainage, road safety, utility tunnel, campus, and industrial park projects that require continuous visibility of manhole cover status and water level conditions.

Where to Buy
Request a DC413 project quotation
DC413 is sold by quotation. Share the manhole type, monitoring events, level range, installation conditions, wireless network, platform requirements, customization needs, pilot quantity, and rollout region so CNDINGTEK can confirm the suitable version and prepare a project quotation.
Useful inputs for faster quoting
- Cover status only, water level only, or combined cover and level monitoring
- Manhole depth, expected water or sewage level range, and mounting structure
- Preferred 4G, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or Multi Tech Cat-M/NB-IoT network
- Platform/API requirements, alert rules, quantity, and delivery schedule
