The ANACON is an intelligent analog/digital converter with electrical isolation, suitable for integration into UMB networks. The devices are easily installed on standard EN mounting rails and networked together by means of mounting rail bus connectors. The 24V feed for the power supply takes place via the bus connector. Windows software is available for the configuration of the ANACON via RS232 port and an additional ISOCON (8160.UISO).
- 2 analogue inputs with 24 bit resolution and signal conditioning for resistance, PT100/PT1000, voltage, current, frequency and pulses as well as pre-defined settings for a large number of Lufft environmental sensors. A half-duplex RS485 interface for networking the converters together.
- Easy mounting on standard EN mounting rails
- Easy networking of up to 32 subscribers via mounting rail bus connectors
- 24V DC power supply suitable for switchgear cabinets
- ESD protection for all interfaces
- Configuration via Windows software provided
- Functions displayed via LED’s

PME miniDOT Logger: Plunge into Data
The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. 
 
The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

From watersheds that provide drinking water, the rain that nourishes plants, to the streams and rivers that help aquatic ecosystems flourish, water is an ever-present and ever-essential part of life. For those like Durelle Scott, a professor of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech University, understanding the importance of these natural systems was always a part of life. 
 
The desire to preserve the nation's aquatic resources stems from a childhood spent exploring the lakes and streams that surrounded him growing up in rural Pennsylvania. Now, as a teacher and a researcher, Scott makes it a priority to ensure that people now and in the future appreciate the enormous impact that aquatic ecosystems have on their lives. “I would say that water connects us all.

The Lufft WS800 Multi-Parameter Weather Station measures a full suite of atmospheric parameters that provides all-encompassing data on the local environment, including a one-of-a-kind lightning detector. This compact, cost-effective sensor simultaneously measures air temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, lightning, and wind with an integrated electronic compass. An internal fan and heater reduce the effects of external influences for accurate measurements during long-term deployments. The sensor can be easily mounted on a 2-inch diameter pipe above any local obstructions with the included bracket mount, U-bolts, and 10-meter cable. 
 
 Settings for the unit can be adjusted using the latest UMB-ConfigTool.
