Metasphere Point Orange intelligent logger

Metasphere is introducing an intelligent logger called Point Orange to the Australian water market. The unit is designed to provide flexible outstations that are multipurpose and multifunctional.

Point Orange is a low-power, battery-operated, IP68-rated compact logger that connects to DNP3 masters and support level 3 functionality. It comes with an internal modem (GPRS with a 3G option) and a software-switchable internal/external antenna. Remote management including remote firmware upgrades and remote configuration minimise site maintenance.

There is a submersion sensor and an internal battery pack supporting up to five years’ life, with an optional external battery for more demanding applications. It provides real-time remote monitoring of up to five sensors. It has programmable I/O functionality for hundreds of configurable combinations and includes support for AI, CI and DI. The multiple configuration options include local monitoring of battery voltage, GSM signal and temperature.

The unit provides long-term secure data retention, dynamic data recording and intelligent alarm functionality. Designed to be plug and play, it is simple to install, with a modern intuitive configuration application. It has been engineered to reduce or eliminate some of the CAPEX and OPEX costs involved; from lessening the need for site visits to the incorporation of industry-standard protocols (ie, DNP3) and remote firmware upgrades.
