RTU Unit

RTU

(Water Flow Meter)

Introduction

RTU Unit Flow Meter is a fully integrated unit: data-logger, cell modem and battery all together, fit into an extremely compact and robust aluminum case. In contrast to standard logger solutions this RTU does not need a
separate enclosure, lots of wires to modem, battery and antenna, complicated setup to make the logger talk to
the modem, etc. This RTU is truly plug and play. Connect the sensors and your solar panel by simply screwing in
a connector, insert your SIM card.
Supporting many analog and digital sensors, lots of pulse counters and even TTL outputs, it can be expanded to
far beyond 100 I/O channels, making it a truly universal RTU for all kinds of environmental monitoring tasks. RT
Unit flow meter GSM/GPRS was developed to meet the most stringent requirements towards a universal telemetry station: high resolution, WMO compliance, synchronous and asynchronous monitoring, lots of memory, 60
I/O channels, and much more. It comes in a robust aluminum housing, with integrated battery and quad-band
Motorola GPRS modem. Power is supplied by a solar panel the size of a postcard
