Vibrating wire datalogger
VW Gauge Monitor
Vibrating wire datalogger with NB-IoT communication, more than 1 million recorded data points and battery operation, in an IP65 enclosure.
Overview
VW Gauge Monitor is a vibrating wire datalogger. It measures the frequency and thermistor temperature signals from vibrating wire sensors and records them for long-term monitoring in the field.
NB-IoT communication sends measurements to the “dot” cloud server for remote monitoring. Internal flash memory stores more than 1 million recorded data points, so readings are kept on the unit as well. Two 18650 Li-ion batteries power it, with an optional solar charger, and the IP65 enclosure is built for field and civil engineering deployments.
