Telemetry Overview

Telemetry Overview

The Solinst® RRL System offers a very simple and inexpensive method of local telemetry. Data is sent from the field via short distance radio to your Home Station PC. The RRL is excellent for small, closed loop networks such as mine sites, golf courses, and landfill monitoring networks.

Features

• RRL Stations work with omnidirectional antenna, therefore can communicate over distances up to 30 km

• RRL Stations use a 900 MHz radio module

• Six replaceable lithium batteries and option of a back-up power source

• Up to four Solinst Dataloggers can be connected to one RRL (using two Splitters)

• Size: fits in a 4.5" diameter well

• IP Rating: IP66 (dust and water proof, cannot be submerged)

What are the three RRL Stations?

All RRL Stations use the same hardware and are programmed using a wizard in the Solinst Telemetry Software as a Home Station, Remote Station or Relay Station. They are interchangeable as required.

Home Station:

Each RRL Network will have one Home Station. The Home Station is connected to a PC using an RS232 cable and requires an external power supply, as well as the internal batteries, to operate.

Note: The RRL Home Station and Relay Stations require an external power supply, as well as the internal batteries.

Note: You can connect your RRL Home Station to a remote STS Edge Telemetry System instead of a PC.

Relay Station:

When a Remote Station cannot communicate to the Home Station directly, due to distance or line-of-sight issues, a Relay Station can be used to transmit the data. Data from attached datalogger is stored at a Relay Station. However, with no dataloggers attached, data is not stored, it is only re-transmitted. The radio at a Relay Station is always on, therefore a continuous external power supply is required, in addition to the internal batteries.

Remote Station:

The Remote Station will turn the radio module on and off based on the Report Rate scheduled. The Remote Station does not require an external power supply, unless there is a frequent Report Rate programmed.

Porcelain Enamel Standard Staff Gauge

The Staff Gauge has a long history of providing a direct visual indicator for determining water level. Stevens staff gauges are designed for easy mounting to a wall or pier, with heavy metal grommets and a 0.188 inch opening for screws or nails. Each gauge consists of a metal core, coated with porcelain enamel and marked with accurate measurement markings at specific intervals. The metal core is heavy 16-gauge (0.075 in / 1.9 mm) iron, which is completely covered with a baked-on porcelain enamel finish to resist rust or discoloration. Different colors of enamel are used to provide the markings; typically, black numbers on a white background. Stevens staff gauges are designed for years of trouble-free use, and can be easily cleaned.

Staff Gauge Applications

• Rivers, lakes, streams, dams and reservoirs

• Wastewater treatment plants

• Flumes and weirs

• Visual flow measurement

• Tanks

Style A Staff Gauge

Features

• Style A comes in sections, each 4 inches wide and 3.33 feet in height

• Graduation marks every 1, 1/10 and 0.02 feet with total elevations

• Multiple sections may be stacked for a total measurement height of 13.33 feet

Style C Staff Gauge

Features

• Style C comes in standard sections, each 2.5 inches wide and 3.33 feet in height

• Graduation marks every 1/100th foot and numerical marks are printed every foot and tenth foot

• Multiple sections may be stacked for a total measurement height of 20 feet

Style I Staff Gauge

Features

• Style I comes in standard sections, each 2.5 inches wide

• Graduation marks every 0.25 inches and numerical marks are printed every inch

Style E Staff Gauge

Features

• Style E comes in sections, each 3.5 inches wide

• Graduation marks every tenth of a foot

• Style E is not numbered, so figure plates are available for applications that require numbers

Style M Staff Gauge

Features

• Style M is sold in one size, 65mm wide by 1 meter tall

• Marked in metric units, with graduation marks every centimeter and numbering every decimeter

• Custom levels may be marked by using figure plates

Figure Plates

Features

• Commonly used with Style E or Style M staff gages and are fastened to a pier or wall to mark custom elevations

Custom Staff Gauge

Custom staff gauges can also be designed. They can be individually designed for large size, slopes or flow measurements or for other unique mounting angles that an off-the-shelf staff gauge cannot measure.
