Alarm Settings

An alarm notification will be sent automatically to the Home Station, if a noncommunication or low battery condition is detected at an STS Remote Station, when a reading is taken. The Home Station then sends out email alerts, as set up in the software.

High, low and percent change alarms can also be set for any monitored parameter (e.g. water level, temperature, rainfall, or conductivity).

 

Power Supply

The STS System is designed to avoid power issues. Each STS comes standard with a 12V battery that can last up to 12 months before replacing or recharging, depending on reporting frequency. The low power electronics of an STS are designed to only use power when there is a scheduled transmission of data, and very little power when it is in standby mode.

Solinst provides optional cables that enable solar power or direct AC mains connection as a power source, as well as a battery charging kit.

 

 

Update Remote Station firmware from your Home Station PC and automatically receive System diagnostics

 

 

System Diagnostics

The STS is a very reliable system, which requires minimal maintenance.

To help simplify system diagnostics, each data report from an STS Controller to the Home Station includes System information. This information can help prevent data disruptions by providing the battery level, modem operation, signal strength and Levelogger status.

Remote Firmware Updates

If new firmware becomes available, a firmware update can be performed from the Home Station using the update utilities supplied with the STS Software. New firmware is made available free via the Solinst website.

STS Systems also allow modem parameters to be reset remotely from the Home Station and changes made to the report and sampling rates.
