EL005 EnviroMon Logger       Brochures and manuals

EnviroMon is a very flexible data logging system. It is made up of a number of separate modules: you simply choose the modules that you need to do the job.

There are Five main sections to the system:

• Logger
• Converters - General (Listed to the left)  -   Temperature and Humidity (Click Here)
• Sensors
• Alarms

Below are  Links to EnviroMon Converters and Sensors:

The System

The EL005 logger is the heart of the system and is programmed to collect data through the use of a PC computer loaded with EnviroMon software.  Attached to the EL005 Logger are one to 10 "Converters".  Converters allow a wide variety of "Sensors" be accepted and turned into digital signals (data) and then sent to the Logger memory for processing and storage into the Logger's memory.  Within the structure of the software "Alarm" conditions can be set.  When any of the alarm conditions are met the logger will send a message/signal to a physical alarm unit, a computer, or a telephone dialer system, or a combination of these. 

The EnviroMon Network

The network is a four-wire cable that carries power and data between the logger, converters and optional equipment like remote alarms. The logger can be attached anywhere along the network cable.

For most applications, low cost telephone style cable is used. This allows operation with 400 metres of network cable between the logger and the furthest sensor. With thicker cable, this distance can be increased to a kilometre or more.

Cables can be purchased in standard lengths, alternatively you can make up your own.

EnviroMon Data Logger

At the heart of the EnviroMon system is the data logger, which takes readings at intervals from one minute to four hours. The logger can send reports to a printer at specified intervals, or can transfer data to a computer for long term storage and graphical analysis. The logger contains back-up batteries so that it continues recording if the mains power fails.

The logger can be used in a number of ways:

• As data logging system. The logger collects data unattended for a period of time (say a week), it is then connected to a PC to download the data for display, storage and analysis.
• As a remote data logging system. The logger is sited remotely (either at a fixed location or on a truck, ship etc) and data is downloaded periodically to a local PC via a modem (radio, telephone or GSM) or even via the internet.
• As a data acquisition system. The logger is permanently connected to the PC, so that readings can be monitored real time on the PC screen. Data can also be published to a website - see dynamic web pages for more information

EL005 Data Logger

The EL005 logger has no display or buttons, and so must be connected to a computer or printer to view the data. The EL005 has a large memory, 250,000 samples and long life internal rechargeable batteries. This combination makes it ideal for recording data over long periods of time.

The EL005 does not have an internal alarm: if you need an audible alarm, connect an EL006 audible alarm unit to the network.

The EL005 logger has internal re-chargeable batteries. These batteries are kept charged when line power is available, and will keep the system running for up to 72 hours during a power failure. With the EL018 dialer adapter/battery backup can provide power to the system for much longer periods in the event of mains failure.   Systems can be powered with 12 volt battery systems for remote location operation.  Talk to SWANGATE technical support for details.
