Remote Weather Data Collection
SpaceLoggers have been widely deployed for many varied outdoor environmental monitoring applications, including climatic monitoring as well as indoor monitoring within offices, workplaces, warehouses, schools and other premises.
SpaceLoggers are designed to function remotely requiring only 7-30V DC power. The data is stored on an SD memory card so no PC hook-up is required in the field. In the case of the SpaceLogger W8 Wireless data logger, wind speed and direction can be relayed directly to PC over the local Wi-Fi network.
The SpaceLogger S10 is a hugely versatile data logger and may be configured for virtually any sensor outputting RS232 data, including devices requiring polling or handshake to enable data output.
Mapping Conditions & Life on the Sea Bed
SpaceLogger S10 data loggers have been utilised to map the conditions and life on the ocean floor. SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were being towed at depths of 3000 metres whilst taking recordings of CTD (water conductivity, temperature and depth).
The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were part of the equipment on three 3000 metre depth rated ‘pods’ along with batteries, video processing equipment and control electronics.
Marcus Shirley of Mr ROV, a member of the research team, confirmed back to us:
“The loggers worked great and allowed us to reliably record accurate data which we were able to easily import into our scientific modelling software. The time stamping feature allowed us to sync up all the data with the logged data from the ship’s GPS and vehicle USBL position transponder, creating a very comprehensive data set. Many thanks for all your help. The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were great and 100% reliable, which is very important when you’re on a ship far from land!”
Environmental Monitoring
With increased awareness and monitoring of air quality there is a demand for accurate sensing equipment that is reliable, low maintenance and durable. Richard Paul Russell Ltd supply complete weather system solutions that can be easily transported and fixed to structures using a bespoke mounting system or remotely positioned using a tripod.
The Richard Paul Russell Ltd systems use ultrasonic WindSonic and MetPak technology which are pre calibrated and have no moving mechanical parts thus require very little on-going maintenance, reducing operational costs.
Pollution Control
Understanding weather conditions such as wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity is essential when trying to analyse pollution the environmental conditions and deliver plume modelling. Commonly monitoring of pollution and environmental conditions takes place in extremely varied locations, from inner cities to remote rural areas.
The FlexiMet system from Richard Paul Russell Ltd uses the Gill MetPak sensor with an integrated WindSonic ultrasonic wind sensor for high accuracy wind speed and direction measurement combined with air temperature, relative humidity, dew point and barometric pressure readings. When used remotely the system can be powered by battery and solar power with the SpaceLogger W10 data logger acquiring the data into a CSV file for easy download to PC. If the system is held within a Wi-Fi network the SpaceLogger W8 Wireless data logger will allow ‘real time’ viewing of the data on PC or via the Weather-File website.
The majority of systems we supply are customised and Richard Paul Russell Ltd will work with customers to develop bespoke solutions. Our expert team can advise on a solution that will meet your exact requirements.
