Download Data Even From Remote Locations
You always want to know what's going on at your research
site. But figuring out how to communicate with your data
logger has typically been complicated and expensive. The
Em50G lets you check in on your data logger from virtually anywhere
in the world. The Em50G is a self-contained data logger built
to power, read, and log data from five sensors. Logged data are
transmitted from the logger to Decagon's server via internal
cellular/mobile communication. All Decagon sensors work with
the Em50G; no programming is necessary.
How it works
The Em50G uses an internal cell modem to automatically send data
to an internet server four times a day. The stored data are
available for you to access, monitor, and download at any time.
Plug in Sensors, Start Logging Data
The Em50G powers, reads, and logs data from five sensors. All
Decagon sensors work with the Em50G; no programming is
necessary.
Ready to Go
The Em50G takes about 20 minutes to set up. It comes complete
with a data plan and is self-enclosed and self-powered. The logger
case is rated NEMA 4X, IP45 for long-term outdoor use, and the
logger will run (and power its sensors and the cell modem) for
about six months on 5 AA batteries.
Simple Setup
The Em50G has 5 sensor ports and one communication (download)
port. Rather than having a screen and a keyboard, the Em50G is
configured by plugging a laptop or handheld into the com port.
ECH2O Utility software (included) provides setup windows
where you set the logger clock, select the type of sensor on each
port, and specify how often you want the sensors read.
Easy Connectivity Check
See signal strength and connection quality in real time as you
pick the best spot for the data logger. This feature lets you test
connectivity at your measurement site BEFORE you install the
logger.
Data Safeguards
Transmitted data is backed up in the data logger memory to give
you an extra layer of data protection. A "confirm data transfer"
protocol makes sure data transmission is correct and complete.
Stores 36,000 Data Scans
The Em50G stores over 36,000 data scans. A scan includes the
date, time, and measurements from each of the five ports.
Data Plan: Annual, provided by Decagon Devices with 120 global

Server Location: Decagon Devices, Pullman, Washington
Data Security: SSL/TLS encrypted data transfer; a unique Device
ID and password (provided with each logger) are necessary for
accessing data from the server.
