MicroP-dl GSM Weather Station & Data Logger

Description

The Micropower Data Logger is a universal device used for accurate, cost-effective and energy efficient applications used in environmental monitoring.

Remotely configurable inputs include voltage (0-10V), current (4-20mA) and pulse type signals as well as SDI-12 standard. Serial communication is enabled with the use of RS- 232 and optional RS-485 ports (Modbus RTU).

An integrated GSM/GPRS modem provides data transmission with user-selectable upload rates (1min – 24h). All measurements can be accessible through the intuitive web-based System or sent directly to the user’s server.

The Micropower Logging unit has an extremely high level of power efficiency (power consumption of <250μW in sleep mode) making the device perfect for off-grid applications and for long-term measurements.
An optional 30W PV panel can extend the lifetime of the logger and eliminate the need for battery replacement.
