New Remote Rainfall Monitoring and Logging System
Jul 01 2008
A new rainfall monitoring and logging system has been launched by Casella (UK) that records rainfall data, river levels and river
flow from a single site or a national network of locations, and transmits the data by GSM/GPRS. The system can run autonomously
for three years on its internal lithium battery saving the cost and manpower of frequent site visits for downloading and
maintenance.
Called the Hydro RT Rainfall Logging System, the product is specifically designed to access rainfall data fromremote locations.
Data transfer is GSM/GPRS based, and the system can trigger user defined alarms by SMS texts on parameters such as rainfall event and intensity. Additional software is available for larger networks of stations that will forward incoming alarms to mobile phones and email addresses, or automatically interrogate these outstations as required.
The Hydro RT uses a high quality tipping bucket rain gauge housed in a rugged enclosure with sealed connectors. It is designed for durability, reliability and autonomy and is ideal for remote locations where access is difficult and time consuming. More information on the Hydro RT is available from www.casellameasurement.com
