Grant dataTaker® DT8x Series Geotechnical Data Loggers

dataTaker® DT80G

The low cost, low power dataTaker® DT80G is extremely versatile and  easy to configure for communications, data capture and data analysis.  View the data in real time or store up to 5 million data points. Data  storage and retrieval can be achieved via USB memory stick, FTP, cell  phone, Modbus for SCADA, Ethernet or Web.

The dataTaker® DT80G has 5 analog channels capable of measuring up to  5 vibrating wire strain gauges with thermistors or 15 vibrating wire  strain gauges without thermistors.

• 5 Four wire Isolated/10 Two wire Isolated/15 Two wire common reference
• With 5 x CEM20's connected 100 Four wire Isolated/200 Two wire Isolated/300 Two wire common reference

dataTaker® DT85G

The low cost, low power dataTaker® DT85G is extremely versatile and  easy to configure for communications, data capture and data analysis.  View the data in real time or store up to 10 million data points. Data  storage and retrieval can be achieved via USB memory stick, FTP, cell  phone, Modbus for SCADA, Ethernet or Web.

The dataTaker® DT85G has 16 analog channels capable of measuring up  to 16 vibrating wire strain gauges with thermistors or 48 vibrating wire  strain gauges without thermistors.

• 16 Four wire Isolated/32 Two wire Isolated/48 Two wire common reference
• With 15 x CEM20's connected 300 Four wire Isolated/600 Two wire Isolated/800 Two wire common reference

dataTaker® DT85GM

The dataTaker® DT85GM is a robust, stand alone, ultra low power data  logger with an integrated 2G/3G modem designed for the geotechnical and  construction industries.

The dataTaker® DT85GM has 16 analog channels capable of measuring up  to 16 vibrating wire strain gauges with thermistors or 48 vibrating wire  strain gauges without thermistors.

• 16 Four wire Isolated/32 Two wire Isolated/48 Two wire common reference
• With 15 x CEM20's connected 300 Four wire Isolated/600 Two wire Isolated/800 Two wire common reference

Supporting vibrating wire sensors the new dataTaker® DT8xG GeoLogger  is  ideal for all geotechnical data logging applications. The dataTaker®   GeoLoggers have built-in vibrating wire support providing ideal data   acquisition and monitoring solution for the engineer working in the   geotechnical environment.

The DT80G and DT85G can be expanded  simply by connecting dataTaker®  Channel Expansion Modules (CEM20) to  provide 100 to 300 vibrating wire  channels with thermistors.
