Sutron’s SatLink3 provides a cost-effective way to measure, log, calculate and transmit data from remote locations around the world. The unit monitors 32 independent measurements of most hydrological, meteorological, environmental or related sensors. SL3 has built-in support for all CGMS satellites including GOES, EUMETSAT, INSAT and MTSAT for operation anywhere. Most often used directly connected to sensors and transmitting data on a user-set schedule, the Satlink3 has options for cellular and Iridium communications. Note: SatLink 3 Firmware included in this download package, along with the latest LinkComm software. 

 
Features
  • Support for Python scripting with up to 8 individually configured scripts.
  • Expanded measurements from 16 to 32
  • Improved analog accuracy & additional analog channels
  • Two independent SDI-12 added inputs expand SL3’s benefits. (a) If an SDI sensor or SDI wires are damaged or knocked offline, the other SDI sensor will continue to operate. (b) Two independent SDI ports also increase flexibility of SDI sensor scheduling.
  • Optional cell/Iridium modems for redundant 2-way communications
  • Modbus Master/Slave over RS232/RS485
  • Wi-Fi for operation with wireless devices, including smart phones, tablets and PCs
  • Expanded log from 120,000 to 1,000,000 readings
  • Improved GUI program that runs on Android, iPhone, PC or MAC devices
  • Expanded Operating Temperature Range (-40° C to +70° C)
  • Whether used in a simple 2-input station or a complicated station with multiple inputs & communication modes, SL3 is the perfect DCP solution.

Benefits
  • Application specific behaviors and extended connectivity beyond standard sensor configurations and data formats with Python scripting.
  • Support for all Geostationary Environmental Satellites including GOES, EUMETSAT, INSAT, MTSAT & CGMS.
  • Compact multi-communication logger with built-in SDI-12, Analog, Digital, RS485 & 4-20mA measurement circuitry with lightning protection
  • 2 Switched Power Outputs w/overload protection & 2 Digital Outputs for pulse or on/off control of attached devices
  • Optional Iridium and call modem cards for two-way communication and alarms
  • Allows for support of rapidly changing communications standards preventing hardware obsolesce
  • Equation processing & multiple level averaging
  • Built-in Wi-Fi simplifies set up using smart phone/tablet/PC or connect directly to a PC USB port
  • Use with LinkComm interface for intuitive programming (Android, iPhone, PC, MAC)
  • Optional data hosting with Hydromet Cloud, for data collection, retrieval, and viewing via the web
