Pressure data logger for the water industry: Measure and store 1.5 million values
2015-05-26 07:37:57, STS Sensor Technik Sirnach AG The level of the water gauge is crucial information in many areas of operation. Companies, authorities and researchers must be able to rely on an accurate measuring device that ideally works autonomously. With the DL.OCS/N/RS485 pressure data logger, the Swiss precision supplier STS Sensortechnik has launched a product that serves precisely this purpose. The device records the pressure of liquids, which allows water levels to be calculated. It also measures temperature and, via an optional module, conductivity in a given medium. This allows the salt content of a solution to be determined, for example. A version in resistant titanium enables use in acidic liquids, for example.
"From environmental agencies that want to monitor groundwater levels to construction companies that want to control water ingress in an underground pit - all users will find our pressure data logger an ideal tool," says Marc Simmen, Product Manager at STS Sensortechnik. The instrument stores up to 1.5 million values and remains in operation for up to ten years with a battery. This allows the DL.OCS/N/RS485 to record data over long periods of time without any problems or maintenance. These features reduce operating costs to a minimum.
The pressure data logger has a measuring range of 0 ... 2 mH2O and 0 ... 250 mH2O. Other measuring ranges configured STS Sensortechnik on request. Thanks to the RS485 interface and the Modbus RTU protocol, the data logger is set to the common industry standards. The user-friendly software requires no special introduction and can be controlled with just a few buttons. Users can quickly program up to 16 measurement series in this way. Thanks to the alarm function, users will not miss any peak value that is outside the actual measurement interval.
