Small telemetric station STELA-I

STELA-I telemetric stations is suitable for data acquisition from objects with no power supply and where is no need of data transfer in intervals lower than  day. After achieving of pre-set limit values, data transfers and warning SMS are activated immediately.

Typical usage of STELA-I station:

• Continual monitoring of flow rates, pressures and water levels in measuring holes or in water storage tanks
• Monitoring of instantaneous and minimal night flows including remote water meters reading
• Undergroud water level monitoring
• Open water levels and flows recording
• Build-up of rainfalls measuring stations and stream gauge stations
• Technology and security of buildings monitoring

STELA-I can be connected with an ultrasonic sensor for water level measurement via serial interface RS485.  STELA-I has compact size and can be placed in very small spaces therby keep it out of vandals.

Mechanical design

Telemetric station STELA-I consists of a data logger, GSM/GPRS communication module and common power supply. All is placed inside one longer stainless steel cylindric holder with 50 mm diameter. STELA-I is available in 2 variants - with 2 batteries (shorter cover; voltage for sensors 7,2V) or with 4 batteries (longer cover; voltage for sensors 14,4V). The cover has a lifting eye nut for its hanging or locking. Our company standardly delivers a stainless steel holder with a mounthing box in which are sensors connected.

More variants of conectors for sensors are available. Therefore we reccomed to consult the usage of the STELA station with us, before its ordering.

Datahosting

STELA station makes use of producers data hosting, which was riginally determined for more sophisticated M4016 telemetric stations. No need for the user to own server and to do operations and services.

Registered users have access to saved data on the server, via standard web browser, whenever. Except of graphical and chart visualization, the server also enables statistical calculations of balance flow rates, search out of limit values, data exports in several sizes and many other functions.

Software

Specific name, number of decimal positions for measuring and archiving, units, measuring method and many other parameters are possible to assign to each recording channels. Archivation interval is adjustable separately for each channel. After getting over set limits (limit alarm) or after quick change of values (gradient alarm), STELA-I station enables to display a more often record of selected values.

Also, the station enables  to calculate instantaneous flow rates from pulses (sensors REED and OPTO), from water level according to pre-set equation and from H/Q chart. The station monitors daily and total flow from the date of installation. Calculating functions above measuring channels (total, sliding total or average, differences, trends, correction with polynom of the second number) with output into the separate channel and into SMS.

Build-in GSM/GPRS module

• Provides realisation of station remote communication with the server
• Transfers measured data into the serverver in pre-set intervals or in alarms
• Sends warning and informative SMS messages
• Very useful is a possibility to do a station parameterization and firmware upgrade via web browser
• We deliver a magnetic antenna with a 5metres cable or a short mast antenna with 3metres cable.
