SPECIFICATIONS

Temperatures -40°C to +60°C Operating
Processor 486 Class processor @66 MHz
Memory
4 MB Flash Disk for log & application Upgrades expandable using optional PCMCIA card to 1 Gigabyte 4MB Flash Operating System 8 MB System RAM
Battery Backup
Not needed for log because memory is flash. Used for clock only. Lithium Battery: 2 years min.
Watchdog Timer System reset upon microprocessor failure
Sample Intervals Multiple sample intervals can be set at increments of 1 sec. to 24 hr., in 1 second increments
Data Retrieval Through RS-232 Ports and optional PCMCIA card
Serial Sensor Using one of the comms ports (Qty 3 RS-232) available for sensors SDI-12: Dedicated SDI-12 V1.3
Communications up to 4 Comms
Up to four (4) of the following: Satellite Radio, LOS Radio, Telephone w/ Modem & Speech Synthesis, Direct Connect MODBUS Communications Protocol via LOS radio, CDPD modem INTERNET connection or dial up telephone
Power Supply
No internal battery or charger. External 6.5 aH @ 12V, operates Xpert for 45 days at 15 minutes sampling.
Power Consumption
Quiescent: 2 mA Typical Avg: 5 mA @ 15 - minute intervals of shaft encoder sample
Digital I/O
Add as needed through I2C expansion modules.
Digital I/O module adds up to 8 additional digital I/O lines.
Analog I/O
Add as needed through I2C expansion modules. Analog I/O module adds up to 6 additional analog inputs.
 
Digital I/O Module
Digital Inputs & Outputs
8 digital I/O lines supporting CMOS level inputs. Under software control, 6 of the 8 can be configured as outputs & all 8 can be configured as inputs. The inputs can be configured to support shaft encoders, tipping buckets, counters, & binary inputs.
Sensor Excitation Software control of switched 12 VDC battery power. 250mA max load.
Shaft Encoders
Quadrature output encoder (4 max) uses 2 digital inputs each. 8 bit gray code encoder (1 max) uses 8 digital inputs.
Tipping Bucket Rain Gages
Input: 100 Kohm pullup for switch closure, software debounced. Uses 1 digital input each (6 max).
Counter Inputs: Input frequency - 1 kHz max. 32 bit resolution. Uses 1 digital input each (8 max).
Switchable Thresholds
Software configurable 0.03 V threshold with hystersis. (2 inputs max) For use with low level output devices such as the 5600-0200 wind sensor without amplifier.
Digital Outputs
Open drain with 100K pull-up to +5V. Switch on impedance 110 Ohms. 70 mA maximum sink current. Outputs can be externally pulled up to the switched battery voltage (12V nominal). When output is externally pulled above 5V, internal pull-up is automatically disabled.
 
Analog I/O Module
Analog Inputs
6 inputs configurable in various combinations of single ended an differential ranging from 6 single ended to 3 differential.
Resolution 22 bits
Input Range
-5V to +5V
