XLink is a wifi-enabled datalogger with two-way communications capability via IRIDIUM or Cellular technology. Designed for environmental monitoring, XLink is sensor agnostic, accepting SDI12, RS485 and 4-20mA inputs, and capable of transmitting up to 32 independent measurements. The XLink can log and transmit remote monitoring data for parameters such as water level and flow, water quality, air quality, and meteorological parameters such as wind, precipitation and solar radiation.

OTT HydroMet sales and business development manager Dr Liam Goodes said, “With built in communications options, [XLink] is able to exploit low-cost cellular comms, and where cellular is not available, IRIDIUM satellite is a simple, elegant solution at a cost that many of our customers now find surprisingly low.”

WWEM will take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, the UK, from 9-10 Oct 2024, and the WWEM awards will be presented at the event’s gala dinner on 9 Oct 2024, Thursday. In addition to conferences and seminars, WWEM 2024 will also include an international exhibition. Visitors to the OTT HydroMet booth will be able to see the XLink, along with other products such as borehole loggers, Lufft combined weather sensors, and Kipp and Zonen solar radiation instruments.
