Product description
The data logger is designed to retrieve, and store data from various sensors. This data is logged onto the
embedded / removable SD-card. Also, the stored data can be send from the data logger to any remote
computer you like. To use this feature, you need a valid SIM-card. Contact your local telecommunications
provider for more information on
the SIM card you will need. The unit accepts various power sources,
selectable by the different version types. The user should connect his sensor(s) of preference to the
connector board of the device. Captured data can be stored, send, visualized and manipulated in many
ways.
The data logger is a small, ultra-low power, high-end data logger with built-in 2G/3G/4G cellular-modem.
This small data logger, is further provided with an internal temperature sensor, 8 or 16 GB micro SD-card
and an SIM card slot. The logger can be powered by an internal 3.6 Volt Lithium battery that will last for
years when the logger is configured in a low-power mode.
Depending on model and edition a data logger can acquire physical signals by current loop inputs, voltage
inputs, potentiometer input and digital inputs. They can also be provided with RS232/RS485/SDI-12 port to
capture serial data (ASCII, MODBUS-RTU/ASCII, NMEA-0183, SDI-12) or to connect an accessory
(Camera, Display, GPS, Satellite modem). More or special inputs/outputs can be added by means of
internal stackable option boards/converters.
External sensors can be powered by the data logger itself, to prevent them to consume power while the
data logger is a sleep. The excitation voltage is switched off during sleep as well.
