The X2-SDLMC Submersible Data Logger is a rugged, self-powered remote data logging system specifically designed for offshore use without fear of accidental flooding. The system is configured with two sensor ports for connection to industry-standard digital interfaces including RS-485, RS-232 and SDI-12. Additional sensor inputs are available through the use of port splitters and adapters. All connections are made using MCIL/MCBH wet-mate connectors, and the built-in sensor library automatically facilitates setup and configuration. Sensor data is recorded on common or independent schedules.
Unlike many data loggers, the X2-SDLMC is truly submersible. The housing and battery compartment are completely sealed and waterproof. Internal circuit boards and communication modules are shock mounted, and all access ports incorporate redundant sealing. The X2-SDLMC withstands extreme wave action, floods, periodic & long-term deployment underwater, and more. When fitted for wireless remote communication, the cellular and satellite antennas are also waterproof.
The X2-SDLMC can be powered by internal SLA battery or external 5-16 VDC power. The internal SLA battery is intended for use with the CB-25 data buoy for continuous power via solar charging. Common sensor connections include multi-parameter sondes, water quality sensors, temperature strings, Doppler velocity meters, water level sensors, and weather stations. Optional integrated cellular or satellite telemetry modules offer real-time remote communications via the WQData LIVE web datacenter. There, data is presented on a fully-featured and easy-to-use dashboard. Other features include automated reports, alarms, push notifications and much more.
