LOWPOWER Datalogger

The PCTDA04x data logger is a small, ultra low power, cost effective datalogger with built-in 4G or NB-IoT cellular modem. This small datalogger, is further provided with an internal temperature sensor, 4GB micro SD card (extendable) and a 2FF SIM card slot.

The datalogger is available with several power provisions: 3.6 volt lithium battery, 8 … 30Vdc input or integrated solar panel with LiFePO4 charger.

The data logger can acquire physical signals by 2 current loop inputs, 2 voltage inputs, 1 potentiometer  input and 3 digital inputs. More or special inputs can be added by means of internal stackable option boards / converters.

The data logger is provided with one serial port to capture measurements from ASCII, MODBUS, NMEA or SDI-12 compatible sensors.

External sensors can be powered by the data logger itself, to prevent them to consume power while the data logger is a sleep.

Up to 8 mathematical channels are available to calculate meaningful engineering values derived from sensor input values (e.g. a polynomial to calculate a flow from a stream level). Supports up to 8 aggregation channels (e.g. to record 10 minute windspeed averages sampled at 1Hz).

Logged data can be pushed to a central host by HTTP(S), FTP(S), e-mail (SMTP), secure TCP or MQTT at configurable intervals. Optionally logged data can be transmitted by satellite as well (Iridium SBD).

When equipped with the integrated solar panel a complete self providing remote monitoring station can be arranged, all you need is a logger and applicable sensor(s). This self providing 3G logger is costs saving, because you don't need: a) external solar panels, b) big batteries, and c) encapsulating cabinet.

The logger is rugged and delivered with a waterproof IP67 enclosure (130x120x75mm).

Configuration programming can be done through the USB port by using hyperterminal.  As alternative an app Android can be used to configure the datalogger  with the Bluetooth option board installed.

A low power weatherproof 2.0 Mp camera can be connected to a solar powered datalogger. The system can be configured to record snapshots at regular intervals (once or multiple times a day) and at alarm raise and fall conditions (e.g. at flooding a river).

The data logger can deliver JPG pictures in your e-mail box, to an HTTP- or FTP-server.  

The camera has an image sensor and lens for taking color pictures during daylight and IR LEDs to take B/W pictures at night. It has a 60° angle of view and a night vision of max 6m.
