Detailed Description
The ALERT205 is a combination of an ALERT2 intelligent network device (IND) and an application protocol device (APD)—typically referred to as an ALERT2 transmitter. The ALERT205 is built around a CR300-series datalogger with optional integrated communications options, an AL200 ALERT2 encoder, and the industry standard Maxon VHF radio.
The ALERT205 is available in three different package options to meet your needs:
- The canister option includes six standard circular connectors for sensor I/O, as well as coax connectors for GPS, VHF radio, and optional integrated communications (Wi-Fi, spread spectrum, cellular).
- The enclosure option is built around the same platform as the canister option, but it is housed in a polycarbonate enclosure with cable glands and screw terminals for connecting external sensors.
- The backplate version is designed for applications where an enclosure will be provided, and it includes DIN rail terminals for easy sensor connections.
All three options are configured, deployed, and maintained via the same mobile-friendly user interface. You can view the interface using a PC or mobile device web browser, and you can access the interface via a Wi-Fi, cellular, or USB connection.
Note: The use of a cellular or Wi-Fi connection is not part of the standard offering, and these options incur an additional fee.
