Autonomous Data Collector DC-22 "Explorer"

The Explorer DC-22 is an autonomous battery powered instrument designed to record pressure/water depth and temperature over long periods. Two versions are offered:

DC-22: The sensor, electronics and battery are housed in a sealed stainless steel (ø22mm) "cigar tube", for submersible deployment. For data read-out the DC-22 must be recovered from the measurement point. The O-ring sealed end cap is then removed to access the data port.

DC-22 G: Utilises a sealed sensor and electronics for submersible deployment. The sensor is connected by sealed cable to a battery housing (ø46mm) which incorporates the data read-out port. This arrangement allows for easier data recovery from fixed installations. The sensor can be absolute or vented gauge, the cable carries the vent tube for gauge version sensors. Due to its larger size the battery life is significantly increased. However for space limited applications the DC-22G is also available with a smaller battery housing (ø22mm).

The programming of the Explorer (date, starting and ending time of recordings, measuring cycle) and the read out of the stored values take place via a special data cable and the Software LOGGER 1, both included as standard.

The Logger-Software allows the read-out of the stored data from the Explorer. The data transfer takes place via the serial interface on the PC. The Explorer is connected through a special cable (K101...K103) which is supplied with the Logger software.

The LOGGER-software offers many further processing possibilities of the read-out data, and meets all the requirements of modern Windows software:

- Graphical Display

- Tabulated Display

- Export into other Windows Programs

- Storage into Files
