REMOTE RIVER HEIGHT MONITORING SYSTEM          £365

Designed to monitor remote river or lake water levels to a high accuracy and transmit the water level data back to any mobile phone via text messaging.


Recieved data also includes water temperature, air temperature,  time and date and internal battery voltage.


Almost un-limited data logging via Micro SD card fitted within the logging unit.

All sensor data is sampled every 30 mins and stored on the SD card, together with the date and time.

If the lower or higher alarm levels are reached during the sampling period the system will automatically send all the sensor data to mobile phone number 1 as an alarm update.


Re-chargable batteries used together with a solar panel keep the system running maintaince free. The logger will run for 2 months without any sun.


Three systems are avaliable, 0 to 2m height, 0 to 3m height and 0 to 4m height.


The actual water depth sensor uses a new type of pressure sensor to determin the depth or head of water, the sensor cabling includes a small tube so as to take into account the local air pressure and adjust the returned reading.

The accuracy is great, even on the 4m length the resulotion is down to 4mm,

with a full scale accruacy of 0.2% and working temperature range of -40 to +85 deg C.

The sensor is manufactured from stainless steel and is IP68 protection.


To recieve the data over SMS text messaging system, just dial into the logger and within 60 seconds all the current sensor data is returned and time stamped.

Dial in with no cost from any mobil phone, the logger will then return the data to any two (pre-loaded) mobile phone numbers.


A very low cost SIM card can be used for the mobile data transmission, currently Giff-Gaff SIM cards cost approximatly £6 GBP per month with unlimited text.


Simple USB interface allows the customer to set the 'location' text, set alarms for low level and high level measurements (in cm) and add one or two mobile phone numbers.


 Via a push of a monitoring button it will also send a  text message to check the mobile phone status during installation.



The data logger uses an IP67 sealed box, nothing exciting about the look of it, the mobile phone antenna is sealed within the box.


The cables to the depth sensor and water temperature sensor are enclosed in a flexible plastic conduit tube, so as to aid some protection.  The two sensors are enclosed further within a very strong ABS tube that can withstand some serious thumps.

A rope hitching ring is attached to the housing so as to tie or weigh down the sensor module.

The sensor module can lay horizontal as well as upright, same depth reading.


The supplied solar panel connects to the unit via it's own IP67 plug and socket, there is an on-board solar panel voltage regulator to ensure correct charging of the batteries.

The batteries consist of 8 AA standard Ni-Cd cells in a sprung loaded battery holder, easy to replace!

Standard AA non-rechargable batteries can be used without the solar panel being fitted, but will only last about 4 weeks.

Data stored on removable SD card.

Four year battery life (30 min and above sampling)

Will capture up to 20 drips/second

(Note: no display, no Atmospheric pressure logging)

 

Comes complete with SD card and battery fitted. As these units are so low powered they have no on/off switch, they are forever logging data.

If the SD card is removed they will carry on counting drips up to 65K and log the final count when an SD card is inserted.


The internal clock may now be set by the customer via a USB interface cable (supplied seperatly).


The extra sensitiviy mode is selectable via a small switch, the logger then becomes an ultra sensitive device and easily captures drips < 30mm drop height.

Extra modifications may be applied as to customers requirements, including ultra high sensitivity modes.


An external humidity, temperature sensor and atmospheric pressure sensor may be added as an optional extra module.

A 0.3m lead connected through the side of the base section goes to a accurate humidity sensor which also includes it's own temperature sensor, both mounted in a robust drip proof module.

An atmospheric pressure sensor may also be included within the same module.

 The main use for this unit is for show cave systems including the Eden Project for public display and for commercial greenhouse growers.


Battery operated, PIR sensor activated and ability to operate under harsh conditions. Enclosure is drip proof.


All data is logged in the background at 15 min, 30 min, or 1 hour sample rates onto micro sd card.


Internal fan purges the air before each CO2 reading is taken to ensure correct current values are displayed and logged.


A radio link may be added inside the housing to enable it to be positioned further into a cave system.


Enclosure size 180 x 180 x 60mm


A quad band Auto Dialer module may also be added inside the housing. This will send a text message to warn that the CO2 level has passed the pre-set trigger level of CO2 gas, levels up to 10,000ppm may be set.

Two mobile phone numbers can be included.

A standard USB cable and freeware software is used to load phone numbers and select the CO2 trigger threshold.

The waterproof case houses the electronis and batteries.

The batteries are standard off-the-shelf  'D' cell type batteries and should last for over a year in normal operation.


The electonics include a real time clock that can be set to initiate a sample logging period once evey 10minutes, every 30 minutes, once every hour,  and even once every 3 seconds, all selected by a small switch.

The sensor unit also houses an air temperature sensor, this temperature is logged at each sample period, along with left & right airflow values, airflow direction.


The logged data includes, date & time, air temperature going through the tube, 'raw' digital data from both sensors and airflow values in m/s from both sensors.


All data is logged onto a standard SD card and simply loads into excel type packages.


 A small display on the electronics board is used to initiate a diagnostics routine that allows instant review of the current air flow values, temperature values and current time.

This feature is a great tool for setting to work and for also giving a confidence check before leaving the equipment for a few months.
