Product
Description
The ECO series is a reliable and high performance multiparameter logger. It is easily
deployed across a wide range of water and wastewater applications, such as hydrants,
manholes, meter vaults, pump stations, bunkers, etc. It supports built-in pressure, I/O
module, cellular, GPS, barometer and RS485 modules. The RS485 port is able to connect
water quality digital analyzers, transmitters and I/O modules. Ultra low power consumption
allows battery or solar power to ensure 5 years of continuous operation. With robust IP68
water submersible enclosure, the product is designed for frequently flood underground
chamber, harsh temperature and humidity outdoor environment.
