NexSens SDL500 Submersible Data Logger - Productivity Features

SDL500 Submersible Data Logger
Productivity Features

Low Power Consumption

The SDL is perfect for projects that do not require fast sampling or high-power sensors. For such applications, it can run for months on just eight D-cell alkaline batteries, often avoiding the need for solar panels and the extra labor, cost, and equipment required by them.

Solar Charging

In cases when more power is needed, NexSens SP5 solar power packs can continuously power an SDL. The SP5 packs include a five-watt solar panel, charge regulator, and 8.5 A-Hr SLA battery housed in a watertight enclosure. These compact solar power units allow the SDL to support several environmental sensors while extending deployments and minimizing site visits.

Internal or External Power

In addition to being able to run on internal alkaline batteries or solar power, the SDL can be configured to operate on any 12-volt DC current source. This is useful when adding a higher capacity external battery for longer deployments and greater power demands.

Plug and Play

The SDL is a truly plug-and-play system. Simply double check that all cable seals are tight and start collecting data. The SDL automatically recognizes connection types and begins logging measurements.

Automated Data Management

When an SDL data logger is equipped with real-time telemetry, automated data collection, processing, and analysis is possible with NexSens iChart software. This user-friendly package can automatically export reports in numerous formats, upload files to a web server, send data via email, or transmit alarms when parameters exceed pre-defined values.

Database Integration

With NexSens iChart software, it is possible to push data automatically from an SDL to an existing database, provided it has Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). iChart can be configured to replicate and store all data into an ODBC-compatible database using a standard Windows ODBC connection.
