Datalogger & Software

Global Water's WE800 Weather Station Data Logger offers state-of-the-art technology for continuous data logging, storing and retrieving of weather station information. All weather stations include the GL400 Data Logger, Global Water Data Logger Software, and a RS232 cable (for communication between the logger and your computer).

The GL400 Data Logger, the weather station's durable and powerful data logging and recording unit, is enclosed in a sturdy weatherproof case. The weather station data logger will operate for several months before its internal 12VDC battery requires recharging. When used in conjunction with solar panels, the weather station data logger can be powered continuously. The GL400 Data Logger includes a real-time clock that dates and time stamps each record. Weather station data can be accessed easily either through a real-time data screen or through a log of recorded data (programming and calibration are not required). Maximums, minimums, and averages can also be obtained from the data using most spreadsheet programs. All weather station data collected by the weather station data recorder can easily be transferred to a disk file for future analysis and storage. The weather station data can be imported into any standard spreadsheet program.

The Weather Station Data Logger includes Global Water Weather Station Data Logger Software, Windows-based software that provies many useful features, such as real-time readout, measurement interval, engineering unit selection, station ID setting, and sensor calibration. The weather station's software makes accessing stored data and setting options easy. Data downloaded from all Weather Stations can easily be opened in any PC spreadsheet program for analysis and graphic presentation. Global Water's Weather Station Data Logger Software will run on a PC-type laptop or desktop computer running Windows 95 or later. To communicate with the Weather Station Data Logger, a computer must be equipped with a standard RS232 serial communication port.

Mounting Hardware
Global Water's Weather Stations include full assembly on a sturdy and durable 1" stainless steel tube frame that can be mounted onto a pre-existing base or onto the WE830 Global Water Weather Station Tripod for upright installation. The Weather Station frame is designed for durability and endurance in harsh conditions. The WE770 Solar Shield, a ventilated sun shield with high reflectiveness, low heat retention, and low thermoconductivity, is provided as protection for the Temperature and Humidity sensors. Global Water highly suggests using the solar shield to protect the Temperature and Humidity sensors from direct sunlight. Temperature and Humidity sensors will not read accurately if exposed to direct sunlight.

Power

A 12VDC 2A-H rechargeable battery is included with the Global Weather Station Data Logger for use in remote applications. This battery can be used in conjunction with solar panels for reliable continuous use.

Installation

Proper siting for weather station sensors is important to ensure accurate readings. For example, wind sensors should not be installed too close to a building, as turbulence created by the building can interfere with readings. The Solar Radiation sensor should be installed in direct sunlight on a level surface (bubble level and leveling screws are included with purchase).

Purchase of both the Wind Direction and Wind Speed sensors includes a T-mounting bar with a 1" stainless steel coupling unit and allen wrench for easy allen set screw instalation. Individual wind sensors or solar radiation sensors include 1" stainless steel elbow couplers and an allen wrench. The Solar Shield (with a stainless steel elbow coupler) can be used for protection and easy installation of the Temperature and Humidity sensors. The Barometric Pressure sensor can be mounted with straps for a variety of applications (including inside a datalogger or to a display for hand-held use).

The complete system includes:

DFS is an industry leader in providing pump controllers for thousands of pumping stations installed and operating nationwide. The Telemetry Control Unit (TCU), a SCADA ready pump controller, is designed specifically for level management applications such as Sewer Pump Stations, Lift Stations and Water Storage Tanks.

Preconfigured to operate up to three fixed speed pumps, and incorporating most of the required control components, the TCU is easily installed and placed into operation without the need for PLC programming knowledge. The TCU is also customizable for advanced VFD control.

The TCU combines powerful pump control functions with advanced SCADA communications, or an Autodialer, to provide a powerful, price-competitive solution. The TCU includes a 3-year lightning warranty.

The Telemetry Control Unit (TCU) pump controller is a fully-programmable, dual-function device. The TCU can be factory-programmed to control up to three fixed speed pumps; or it can be custom programmed for a specialized control application.

As a pump control device, the TCU contains all the hardware and software needed to control up to three motor starters based on level input. Float ball switches, pressure transducers, or other types of analog level sensors are supported.

When used as a custom programmed device, the TCU can control up to six discrete devices, monitor up to 12 discrete inputs and monitor up to two analog devices.

The TCU features dual double-speed microcontrollers. One handles the control functions while the other manages the unit's communications. The TCU is available with an optional factory-integrated synthesized radio, network interface adapter, or a standard telephone line compatible autodialer.

An integrated AC phase monitor uses True RMS to produce accurate and exact 3-phase voltage readings. The analog inputs are 12-bit for superior accuracy and resolution. An auxiliary input function as a standard discrete input or pulse counter for a tipping bucket rain gauge.

An RS-485 serial interface enables communication with industry-standard devices and VFD controllers. In addition, the unit features an RS-232 Serial Radio interface that supports both Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU.

For ease of operator interface, the TCU incorporates a large 4x20-character LCD display and 12-button keypad. Eight LEDs surrounding the display are programmable for at-a-glace status indication.
