CDS549 3G / GPRS Stratus range End of life

Stratus Pulse Logger

The Stratus Pulse logger is a robust, low cost and sophisticated 3G GSM logger with a wide range of input functions. This logger can operate on an external 12V supply or make use of standard alkaline batteries. It is well suited for applications such as those needed in the utilities industry or other remote measurement systems.

Product end of life — only manufactured on demand. For new installations we recommend the 4G Cirrus or NB-IoT Nimbus range.

Features

What the Stratus Pulse does

  • Uses GPRS/EDGE/3G GSM (UMTS/HSPA) technology.

  • Bluetooth interface — setup and manual data collection can be achieved through the Bluetooth interface negating the need for cables that invariably fail during continuous use.

  • Battery or external 12V power with battery failover in dual mode.

  • Uses 3x standard D Cell alkaline batteries that can last in excess of 5 years under normal usage. Many other loggers use lithium batteries that are expensive and difficult to obtain. Other problems involving lithium batteries are the restrictions when shipping using airfreight. All lithium batteries need to be shipped as hazardous cargo that is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve as many airlines are no longer allowing these batteries on their aircraft.

  • ECO Interface for the connecting to GWF electronic meters.

  • 2 x Pulse inputs — Pulse inputs are used on metering devices that supply a pulse output for a measured amount of product.

  • Large onboard non-volatile memory — This logger can record up to 14400 records (application specific) for later download.

  • Logging intervals from 1 minute to 1 month. Information is internally logged, time and date stamped and transmitted at programmable intervals.

  • Remote programming of all setup parameters via GSM link or SMS.

  • Ideal for leak detection, alarming and water shut-off control to prevent water loss.

  • Onboard Bluetooth can stream diagnostic information about signal strength, network status etc.

  • Touch sensitive button and LED's for manual wakeup to server and diagnostic purposes are accessable on the outside without the need for opening the housing.

  • Available with the standard internal antenna or a connector (SMA) for an external antenna. Note that the external connector will affect the IP rating.
