ZigBee
Modem Application
The ZigBee-24
modem connects to the AquaLOG as shown below. The device is fully User
Configurable enabling data to be sent continuously for real-time
applications, or at a set time whe
The
ZigBee-24 module operates just like any other ZigBee modem
in that the signal strength is best when units are in line of sight of
each other.
The advantage of
the ZigBee-24 over other similar devices is that is provided
as standard in an immersion and corrosion proof enclosure and will
operate even after the device has been immersed in water.
The wide operating
temperature range and the fact the unit will return to normal operation
after water levels have receded makes it ideal for deployment into
drains, tunnels, man holes in fact any there likely to flood.
Cable Free Tilt
Sensor
In applications
where power is not a problem then it is possible to deploy the ZigBee-24
modem connected directly to the Tilt-30-02-SDI12
tilt sensor in order to provide simple, low cost cable free systems.
This simple approach to cable free systems makes sure they operate
reliably and are easy to maintain.
Installation
& operations
The
ZigBee-24 modem is connected to the AquaLOG via the 9 pin
modem port. It is powered directly from the AquaLOG and can be
configured for continuous data transmission or, powered off and set to
broadcast data only at a set time to maintain power.
Maintenance
Due to the method
of construction of the ZigBee-24 modem and after the device
has been submerged for any period of time, wash the device under clean
tap water to remove any unwanted material that has collected onto the
terminal port and power supply pins.
The gold plated
terminal pins should keep the unit safe from immersion damage.
