NexSens 3100-MAST Cellular Telemetry System

Details:

The NexSens 3100-MAST system utilizes cellular telemetry and solar charging to create a truly plug-and-play data collection and sensor interface platform. The system integrates a NexSens 3100-iSIC cellular data logger, high-gain cellular antenna, and 20-watt solar power kit - all in a compact, pre-configured package. Simply thread the system to any 2" NPT male pipe thread, connect the solar panel & battery, wire the sensors, and setup a project using iChart software - it's that simple!

The 3100-iSIC incorporates a factory-activated cellular modem with data logger that supports up to 8 analog inputs and 4 digital inputs for multi-sensor data logging. Systems can be configured for any of the major cellular networks, including Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and Alltel. The integrated system offers sealed connectors, corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, and built-in lightning protection to ensure reliable performance in the harshest outdoor conditions.

NexSens iChart Software is a Windows-based program for interfacing both locally (direct-connect) and remotely (through telemetry) to an iSIC data logger or network of data loggers. The iChart Setup Device Wizard includes built-in drivers and a step-by-step interface for setting up and configuring remote monitoring sensors and systems. When connected, the user can quickly configure sample & log intervals, upload data, or troubleshoot communications.
