| MAWS100 is a compact system for
hydro-meteorological monitoring
when a small number of sensors and
limited number of telemetry options
are required. It is especially designed
for unmanned operations at remote
sites requiring high reliability and low
power consumption. MAWS100 uses
a field-proven and highly accurate
Vaisala data logger technology with
advanced software. MAWS100 is
well suited for the Vaisala Weather
Transmitter WXT520, and for cellular
telemetry. |
The system architecture is
designed to support a broad range
of analog and serial sensors.
Sensor measurements, statistical
calculations, data logging on a
compact flash card and versatile
data transmissions are performed
according to a user-configured setup
made with the user-friendly Vaisala
Setup Software Lizard. Vaisala Realtime
Display Software YourVIEW is
included for viewing real-time data as
required.
Field-proven reliability of MAWS100
enclosures feature IP66 (NEMA4X)
protection. In MAWS100 all sensors
and telemetry devices are connected
to the system using high quality
polyurethane cables with IP68
connectors allowing quick and
trouble-free installation. |
| MAWS100 has a low power
consumption, e.g., the average power
consumption is only 10 mA when
measuring with five basic sensors.
In many cases a solar panel with a
backup battery of 5 Ah is enough for
powering a MAWS100 system.
A mains (AC) power supply is
optional to power extended systems
with frequently sending (powered)
telemetry devices. |
| The system provides interfaces
with almost any type of telemetry,
terminal, displays as well as smart
sensors. With optional plug-in
modules the number of serial ports
can be enhanced from 2 up to 8 ports,
enabling multiple RS-232, RS-485 and
SDI-12 connections. MAWS100 can be
connected directly to a LAN network
using Ethernet Communication
Module DSE101 offering a
10/100Base-T Ethernet. Other options
for telemetry include GSM/GPRS,
PSTN, and serial connections. |
| MAWS100 is expandable with Digital
I/O Unit QMI118 which adds 8 digital
outputs and 8 digital inputs for
sensor interfacing, power optimizing,
and unmanned control functions
based on user-defined requirements. |
| MAWS100 can be equipped with
innovative installation aids that
significantly lower installation
and maintenance costs. A single
maintenance person can easily and
safely tilt the Vaisala Tiltable Masts. |
