The dataTaker DT8xM is a robust, stand alone, ultra low power
data logger with an integrated 2G/3G modem that allows it to be
used across a wide variety of remote applications.
Automatic Data Delivery
The days of travelling long distances to get your data are over.
The DT8xM's automatic data delivery features allow you to schedule
your data to be automatically emailed to your inbox every day,
week, month or other time interval. More sophisticated systems can
make use of the automatic data delivery features to send logged
data to a FTP server.
Alarm conditions can also trigger data delivery or alarm
messages to multiple email addresses or mobile phones.
deTermined Communications
Mobile network outages can occur at any time and can last for
minutes or days, however dataTaker have gone to great lengths to
ensure the reliability of data transmissions. The DT8xM can
recognise incomplete downloads and will try again until the entire
data file is transmitted, ensuring no lost data. If the network
drops your logger, the modem automatically reconnects before the
next scheduled transmission.
If the mobile network has marginal coverage, the DT8xM can scan
for alternative networks and select the strongest signal.
Easy to Configure
The DT80M is configured directly in your web browser using
datataTaker's dEX graphical interface. dEX takes you through the
configuration of your logger, showing you wiring diagrams and
allowing you to decide - in as much or as little detail - how you
want the system to work, suiting both novice and advanced
users.
Using the internal modem you can even re-configure your system
remotely over the internet if required.
With support for multiple SDI-12 sensor networks, Modbus for
SCADA systems, FTP and Web interface, 12V regulated output to power
sensors, the DT8xM is ready to be installed into
environmental, industrial and many other types of monitoring
projects.
