RRL 5 Remote Radio Link
Model 9200

The Solinst RRL 5 Remote Radio Link Telemetry System offers a very simple, compact and inexpensive method of local telemetry. Data is sent from Solinst dataloggers in the field via short-distance radio to your Home Station PC. The RRL 5 is excellent for small, closed-loop networks such as mine sites, golf courses, and landfill monitoring networks. By using free unlicensed radio bands (ISM), the RRL 5 has the advantage of being lower cost than cellular telemetry systems.

Advantages of RRL 5 Remote Radio Link Telemetry

  • No-cost radio transmission
  • Compact all-in-one units for discreet installation
  • Report barometrically compensated water level
    data
  • Use database to import to your own website or list
  • Remotely monitor battery level and status with
    each report
  • Less need to travel to remote/ hazardous locations
  • Ideal for small, closed-loop networks

RRL 5 Telemetry Stations

RRL 5 Stations can fit inside a 2″ monitoring well for discreet placement. They work with omnidirectional antenna, RF lineof-sight transmission, therefore, they can communicate over distances up to 30 km (20 miles).

RRL 5 Stations have the option of 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio modules. They use six replaceable lithium batteries. Up to two Solinst dataloggers can be connected to one RRL 5 (using a Splitter). A built-in barometer provides the option of reporting barometrically compensated Levelogger readings.

The USB-C connection on each RRL 5 is used for diagnostic, firmware updates and programming purposes. It can also be used to connect an external power source.

All RRL 5 Stations use the same hardware, and are programmed using a wizard in Solinst Telemetry Software as a Home Station or Remote Station. RRL 5 Stations are interchangeable as required.

RRL 5 Stations have a non-volatile internal memory to store collected data until the Home Station is successfully contacted.

 

RRL 5 Telemetry Operation

Systems operate on two basic schedules. A sample rate is set, at which an RRL 5 records a real-time reading from each attached datalogger. A report rate is the frequency that the data is sent from an RRL 5 to the Home Station PC. Optionally, dataloggers can be set up to record and store data independently of the RRL.

Reported data is saved in a dynamically updated database on the Home Station PC, and can also be viewed and exported using Solinst Telemetry Software. You have complete control of your data.

 

Features of RRL 5 Telemetry

  • Sized to fit inside a standard 2″ well casing
  • Internal barometer for automatic water level compensation
  • Connection for up to two dataloggers on each device
  • Database is automatically updated with each new data report
  • Free Solinst Telemetry Software for easy setup, remote updates and data management
  • Remote Utility for simple diagnostics
