The NexSens 3100-MAST system utilizes cellular telemetry and solar charging to create a truly plug-and-play data collection and sensor interface platform. The system integrates a NexSens 3100-iSIC cellular data logger, high-gain cellular antenna, and 20-watt solar power kit - all in a compact, pre-configured package. Simply thread the system to any 2" NPT male pipe thread, connect the solar panel & battery, wire the sensors, and setup a project using iChart software.
The SonTek Argonaut-SL side-looking current meter offers a simple way to measure bi-directional water velocity and level in open channels. Robust, all-digital signal processing ensures reliable data collection within a user-programmable velocity cell extending from 0.1 m (SL3000 system) up to 120 m (SL500 system). With three models to choose from, the SL can be used in channels small enough to jump across to rivers as wide as the Amazon. The Argonaut-SL can quickly be interfaced to the 3100-MAST system via SDI-12 output.
With this system in place, data is logged at a user-defined interval and transmitted to a nearby (or remote) computer running iChart Software. iChart is a user-friendly software package that serves as the centralized interface and database for all incoming data. The software also allows the user to send alarms via email or SMS text messaging when turbidity levels exceed pre-defined set-points. NexSens WQData is an optional web datacenter service that automatically generates a graphical web-based interface for project members and stakeholders to remotely access project information in near real-time during remediation activities.
