Overview

The CR800 is a smaller, research-grade data logger designed for stand-alone operation in harsh, remote environments. It is intended for smaller configurations in which fewer sensors will be measured. Each CR800 reads input from sensors, then transmits the data via a communication peripheral; most sensors and telecommunication devices are compatible. Multiple CR800s can be configured as a network or units can be deployed individually.

Another data logger, the CR850, is similar to the CR800, but it has an integrated keyboard and display screen for on-site control.

Benefits and Features

• Ideal applications include wind profiling, weather stations, ETo/agriculture, air quality, soil moisture, water level/stage, aquaculture, vehicle testing, Time Domain Reflectometry, SCADA, and water quality
• Simpler in design, the CR800 and CR850 are easier to program and wire.
• Serial communications with serial sensors and devices supported via I/O port pairs
• Contains custom ASIC chip that expands pulse count, control port, and serial communications capabilities
• Compatible with channel expansion peripherals allowing you to expand your system
• Supports PakBus, Modbus, SDI-12, and DNP3 protocols
• Includes both an CS I/O port and an RS-232 port for connecting communication devices
• Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) protected inputs
• Battery-backed clock that ensures accurate time is maintained while data logger is disconnected from battery power
• Program with LoggerNet, PC400, or Short Cut to fit your setup
