7.1 Multi-Parameter Monitoring

Multi-parameter monitoring platforms enable comprehensive environmental data collection by integrating multiple sensors into a single system. These platforms measure a variety of parameters in water, soil, and air. A multi-parameter platform might include, for example, a weather station and water quality sensors for an environmental study on the effect of local weather conditions on a […]

6.6 Soil Oxygen

Soil oxygen concentration refers to the amount of oxygen present within the soil matrix, typically expressed as a percentage of the soil’s pore space volume. Well-aerated soils often have oxygen concentrations near atmospheric levels of about 20.95%. It may also include dissolved oxygen in the soil solution. However, oxygen dissolved in soil water is typically […]

MCBH & MCIL Connector Operation & Maintenance

Multiple NexSens data logger models and CB-MCL wet-mate lids include male and female Micro-Circular Bulkhead (MCBH) connectors compatible with Micro-Circular In-line (MCIL) sensor connectors. These connectors are designed for use in wet conditions (not while submerged) as they force out water as connectors are mated. Like other connector types, MCBH and MCIL connectors still require […]

X-Series Logger Supported Sensors

All X-Series data logger systems incorporate multiple waterproof UW sensor ports with available sensor interfaces including SDI-12, RS-485 and RS-232. This allows for compatibility with a wide range of sensors and data transmission protocols such as SDI-12, NMEA0183 and Modbus. Many compatible sensors can be automatically detected by X-Series loggers, while others require custom configurations […]

Sensor(s) Not Found During X-Series Logger Auto-Detection

If an X-Series data logger fails to detect a connected sensor following the completion of the auto-detection process, verify the following: Check for proper wiring of sensor signals and seating of all cable connections. Verify that the script for the sensor has been developed, loaded onto the logger, and enabled to run. Confirm the required […]
