Aqua Logger RDR Compact Water Level Monitoring System

This information allows the Aqua Logger RDR COMPACT to be suitable for level monitoring in closed channels, wastewater wells, small-scale wastewater pumping stations and similar places where the compact size of a device is important. There are three levels of protection available: IP67, IP68 and IP67 ATEX.

The station works with a set of lithium batteries located inside the housing. With a measurement taken every 10 minutes and the transmission of data for every 4 hours, the latter can operate for at least 5 years.

Aqua Logger RDR Compact is a device dedicated to monitoring the water level in natural environments and in difficult conditions, such as in sewage wells or wastewater pumping stations. The data logger and GSM equipment is integrated with a set of lithium batteries in a solid housing of compact size (220x120x90mm). Such size allows easy installation in narrow places with limited access. In addition, there are three levels of protection available: IP67, IP68 and IP67 ATEX.
With GSM measurement and transmission technology, the device is ready to operate for more than 5 years in a set of batteries. For example, if the measurement is performed every 10 minutes and the data is updated every 2 hours, the station operates for a minimum of 5 years, including self-discharge and battery wear. With the same measurement interval and GSM data transfer twice a day, the life of the station will increase up to 8 years.
The ultra low power consumption of the station marks it among others used to measure the water level.
Online access to the speed of measurement and transmission cycles is one of the crucial features of the Aqua Logger RDR Compact. It allows efficient management of the station, the frequency of measurement in crisis situations when quick access to data is extremely important. To maintain full control over Aqua Logger, immediately after a threshold value is exceeded, the user receives a text message or an email.
Another important feature of the station is the non-contact measurement method. This method eliminates the need to install the elements of the station in water or wastewater, and that facilitates the process and also excludes the danger of damaging the sensor elements. The measurement is made with the use of a radar sensor. The sensor emits high frequency electromagnetic waves that are reflected from the surface of the water due to the constant dielectric change. The reflection time of the wave is proportional to the distance it covers. On this basis, the surface of the water level was determined
