A755 addSDI GPRS
The new A755 addSDI GPRS RTU is tailor made to work with the broad range of SDI-12 sensors. Through its single IP67 connector it supports up to 40 SDI-12 values. It also features one pulse input, which lets you connect any device with a reed switch output, like a water meter or an (irrigation) rain gauge.
Applications for A755
Here are a few examples:
Soil moisture monitoring
Depending on the power consumption of your SDI-12 soil moisture sensor you can connect one, two, three or even four SDI-12 soil moisture sensors AND a water meter or irrigation gauge to check the proper flow and distribution of water. Which makes this RTU the perfect choice for irrigators!
Water quality monitoring
Most multi-parameter water quality probes available today rely on SDI-12 as their interface of choice. Many such probes even come with their own internal battery pack, so power consumption is not an issue. For some probes we recommend the use of our A917 Power Booster interface to get to the required levels of supply voltage.
Water level monitoring - flood warning
Radar sensors are increasingly popular with civil protection agencies as they can easily be mounted on existing structures like bridges, thus reducing the cost of installation. One of the best selling products in this regard is the RLS radar sensor from OTT Germany, for which we have developed a little power booster interface to provide sufficient voltage from the RTUs internal battery.
