Station Box
|
|
For continuous 24/7 monitoring we can supply a security enclosure with solar
power and a remote access option. The security enclosure is specially
modified for use with our seismographs. Since external power if often
needed, we also supply a solar panel with sufficient capacity for the desired
setup. Remote access options include a cellular modem with IP or dial-up
service or a dial-up satellite modem. This configuration allows you to
easily access your data while never having to leave the office. |

External Printer
|
|
If on-site printouts are needed, the external printer option is ideal. The
printer is self contained and rechargeable. It is not necessary to have
the printer out in the environment with the seismograph. It has been our
experience that repairs to printing seismographs most often involve the printer.
Removing the printer from the environment solves many of these problems.
Another benefit is the price. A Mini-Seis with an external printer will
likely cost much less than a printing seismograph.

Cellular Modem
|
|
We resell the Airlink Raven XT cellular modem. This modem allows remote access to your seismograph data anywhere the appropriate data
service is available. We work closely with a Verizon reseller and can
easily help you setup an appropriate telemetry data plan.
We prefer to setup our modems with a static IP. This allows us to use the
Seismograph Data Analysis software to contact the modem by simply providing the
IP address and modem port number. After that we can download data, change
setup parameters and perform any other tasks as if the seismograph was right
there with us.

Satellite Modem
|
|
Remote data access will be most economical with a cellular modem. However,
cellular data services are not available in some areas. In these cases we
offer a satellite alternative. While the modem itself is significantly
more expensive than a cellular modem, the monthly service cost is not much
higher.
Another issue is that connectivity is only available when there is a satellite
overhead. This means that multiple connection attempts may be required.

|
Solar Panel
|
|
A remote access station will normally need a power source. A solar panel
is a common solution. White can provide the appropriate panel size
for the parameters. If remote access is not needed, a 10 watt panel may be
sufficient. A cellular or satellite setup may require a 20 to 40 watt
panel. It is common to use a 12V deep cycle battery as a storage medium.
For this reason we also supply a voltage regulator so that the battery is not
overloaded.
