A SolSat 5 Satellite Telemetry station is designed to be used in almost any water monitoring application. It features a robust weatherproof, IP66-rated housing. It has an operating temperature from -20ºC to +55ºC.
Each SolSat 5 includes a satellite modem, high-performance helical antenna, built-in solar panel and an integral Wi-Fi App for wireless system configuration using any mobile device or laptop. There is an LED activity light on the top of the SolSat 5 that flashes with operation.
There is a power connection for charging the two 3.4 Ah LiPo batteries via USB, or for connecting an additional solar panel.
The internal barometer allows barometrically compensated water level data to be reported and an ambient temperature sensor provides added data. A Gore plastic vent plug in the SolSat enclosure protects the barometer. A SolSat 5 can store up to 100,000 data logs. A GPS module provides geo-tagged data.
Each SolSat 5 station can connect one datalogger.
Note:
Reader Cables and Levelogger Direct Read Cables to connect to dataloggers are available separately.
