The StormLink ALERT2 Data Logger is a powerful and flexible data logger and controller designed with the field technician in mind. It is housed in an aluminum enclosure and connections are made using plug-in terminal strips which allow quick disconnect for easy installation or replacement. It is typically mounted in a gauge house, weather resistant cabinet, or NEMA4 enclosure to protect it from the elements. The StormLink ALERT2 Data Logger accepts up to 8 Analog inputs (plus internal battery), up to 2 shaft encoders, up to 2 precipitation, SDI-12, wind speed, wind direction, and peak gust.
The internal firmware is upgradable in the field. New firmware versions can be downloaded via the USB cable in just a few seconds.
Data are logged on a Secured Data (SD) memory card and can be retrieved via the USB port. The SD memory card can also be removed for later downloading and replaced with a spare card. The StormLink ALERT2 Data Logger includes a 16-gigabyte SD card.
Additional features include fuse protection on solar input, battery, and a 12V switch to avoid damage to the unit through shorting (the fuses automatically reset when they cool off); and, a dedicated USB port for programming, data retrieval, and uploading of new firmware versions.
