Built for the field
Power, enclosure and setup.
Battery operation
Two 18650 Li-ion batteries, with an optional solar charger. The figure on the datasheet is based on one measurement per hour.
Sealed enclosure
IP65-rated enclosure for field and civil engineering deployments.
External antenna
The antenna is external to the enclosure.
Configured from an SD card
Data transmission is set through settings stored on the SD card.
Interfaces
Connects to other systems.
The VW Gauge Monitor supports these protocols and interfaces, so its data can reach compatible monitoring systems.
- MQTT
- TCP/IP
- Modbus
- RS485
- Ethernet
