Hardware Configuration Details

The automatic rain measurement station includes the main equipment: Rain measurement sensor, data storage unit (datalogger), communication modem, technical cabinet, battery, power converter, lightning protection device, pole, and installation accessories;
All sensors are connected to the datalogger. Here, the measured data is processed, analyzed, and transmitted to the server via GSM mobile network through a GSM modem.
The datalogger has the capability to measure and store large amounts of data;
The system has high integration capability, making it easy to upgrade, expand the network, or be compatible with other existing systems;
The technical cabinet is made of durable materials and is specially designed for use in natural environments, resistant to sun and rain. In addition, the technical cabinet is designed for good heat insulation, with cable entry holes sealed properly to avoid moisture and prevent insects from entering;
The technical cabinet is used to install the datalogger, GSM modem, charge controller, battery, and surge protection device.
In particular, the system ensures extremely low power consumption, suitable for remotely controlled automatic stations, operating independently.
