At the heart of the EnviroMon system is the data logger, which takes readings at intervals from one minute to four hours. The logger can send reports to a printer at specified intervals, or can transfer data to a computer for long term storage and graphical analysis. The logger contains back–up batteries so that it continues recording if the mains power fails.
The loggers can be used in a number of ways:
- As data logging system. The logger collects data unattended for a period of time (say a week), it is then connected to a PC to download the data for display, storage and analysis.
- As a remote data logging system. The logger(s) are sited remotely (either at a fixed location or on a truck, ship etc) and data is downloaded periodically to a local PC via a modem (radio, telephone or GSM) or even via the internet.
- As a data acquisition system. The logger is permanently connected to the PC, so that readings can be monitored real time on the PC screen. Data can also be published to a website — see dynamic web pages for more information
EL005 Data Logger
The EL005 logger has no display or buttons, and so must be connected to a computer or printer to view the data. The EL005 has a large 250,000 sample memory and long-life internal rechargeable batteries. This combination makes it ideal for recording data over long periods of time.
The EL005 does not have an internal alarm: if you need an audible alarm, connect an EL006 audible alarm unit to the network.
The EL005 logger has internal re-chargeable batteries. These batteries are kept topped up whilst mains power is available, and will keep the system running for up to 72 hours during a mains power failure.
