Data Loggers and Telemetry
Data loggers and telemetry systems turn field measurements into useful records for compliance, operations, troubleshooting, and long-term water-system management.
What data loggers do
A data logger records measurements from sensors such as water level, flow, rainfall, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, or pressure. The value of the logger is not just storing data; it creates a consistent time history that can be reviewed after storms, operations events, or treatment-system changes.
Telemetry options
- Cellular telemetry for remote dashboards and alerts.
- Radio or wireless links for local site networks.
- Manual download for low-cost or periodic programs.
- Cloud dashboards for trend review, alarms, and reporting.
Selection checklist
- Confirm the sensor inputs and logging interval.
- Check battery life, enclosure rating, mounting, and site access.
- Plan calibration, maintenance, downloads, and data backups.
- Decide whether alerts, remote dashboards, or only local storage are needed.
- Use field notes to explain gaps, fouling, flooding, maintenance, or unusual readings.
