Remote Water Level Monitoring using Satellite with an Aquatroll
The AquaTroll is a device that monitors the liquid level for both borehole and surface water. Suitable for remote water tables and water bodies outside of Terrestrial Cellular coverage.
If the probe is placed at the bottom of the water body, the sensor will measure the pressure and then record a calculated water level. A serial cable links the sensor to the satellite unit which uploads the data to our FTP site. Customers are able to download data via FTP.
The power consumption of the terminal is in 5mA at 12volts so it can be run off a battery without power or the installation of a solar system.
