Specifications
The Cirrus Modbus logger is a robust, low cost and sophisticated LTE/4G GSM logger with a wide range of input
functions. This logger can operate on an external 12V supply or make use of standard alkaline batteries. It is
well suited for applications such as those needed in the utilities industry or other remote measurement
systems.
The Cirrus Modbus Logger has been designed to allow for easy installation and setup without the need for a
complicated infrastructure. Setup and management is carried out using the standard CloudWorks client
software.
Features
o Uses GPRS/EDGE/LTE/4G technology. 4G has become essential as many cellular network providers around
the world will soon no longer be supporting older GPRS/3G technologies, rendering these legacy dataloggers
obsolete. This has already started happening in many countries around the world.
o Bluetooth interface - setup and manual data collection can be achieved through the Bluetooth interface
negating the need for cables that invariably fail during continuous use.
o Battery or external 12V power with battery failover in dual mode.
o Uses 3x standard D Cell alkaline batteries that can last in excess of 5 years under normal usage. Many other
loggers use lithium batteries that are expensive and difficult to obtain. Other problems involving lithium
batteries are the restrictions when shipping using airfreight. All lithium batteries need to be shipped as
hazardous cargo that is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve as many airlines are no longer allowing
these batteries on their aircraft.
o Isolated 4-20mA interface. Used for any sensing device with a 4-20mA output.
o Onboard 24V 30mA power generator. The Cirrus Modbus logger can generate a stable 24V output at a
maximum of 30mA allowing for the powering of an external piece of equipment or current loop device
eliminating the need for a secondary power supply. This option will also function under battery operation.
o 2 x Pulse inputs - Pulse inputs are used on metering devices that supply a pulse output for a measured
amount of product.
o RS485 Modbus Port (2-wire).
o Large onboard non-volatile memory - This logger can record up to 20000 records (application specific) for
later download.
o Logging intervals from 1 minute to 1 month. Information is internally logged, time and date stamped and
transmitted at programmable intervals.
o Remote programming of all setup parameters via GSM link or SMS.
o Ideal for leak detection, alarming and water shut-off control to prevent water loss.
o Onboard Bluetooth can stream diagnostic information about signal strength, network status etc.
o Touch sensitive button and LED's for manual wakeup to server and diagnostic purposes are accessible on the
outside without the need for opening the housing.
