Optimum Instruments Inc. products

Imagine having the ability to communicate with your equipment that is installed in a manhole in the middle of a busy street; having the ability to not have to block traffic to retrieve your data anymore. Well then the Optimum Instruments In Road Antenna (ANT-IR) is the answer.

The Data Dolphin provides the accuracy of a laboratory instrument in the harsh conditions of the field environment. The ultra-high resolution 24 bit analog to digital section provides 8 single ended inputs or 4 differential bipolar inputs (or a combination of both) with resolution down to 90 nanovolts (.00000009 volts). This allows most sensors to be directly connected without any signal conditioning. It`s wide range of input voltages allows for you to attach a wide range of different input types. There are an additional four inputs that can be user selected as pulse, status, event start/stop or analog inputs.Data is stored in a non-volatile flash memory module that gives long term storage without the fear of losing your data because of dead batteries. Data is stored inside a database structure, which allows you to add or delete inputs `on the fly` without having to restart the datalogger. Even the sample rate can be changed without restarting.

SDI-12 sensors, data loggers, or sondes can also be connected to the DD-400 for a wide variety of monitoring capabilities.

The Data Dolphin provides the accuracy of a laboratory instrument in the harsh conditions of the field environment. It`s wide 0-5V range of input voltages allows for you to attach a wide range of different input types. The four externally accessed inputs can be used with 4-20mA sensors just by enabling a shunt inside the sensor connector. Sensor cables can also be identified for instant input configuration in the DD-600.Data is stored in a non-volatile flash memory module that gives long term storage without the fear of losing your data because of dead batteries. Data is stored inside a database structure, which allows you to add or delete inputs `on the fly` without having to restart the datalogger. Even the sample rate can be changed without restarting. Coming soon is the ability to store to the on board SD card.

The Data Dolphin Meter is a data logging flow meter head with a micro SD Card slot for retrieving your data. It is housed in a rugged cast aluminum enclosure and provides three threaded conduit holes and integrated pipe or wall mounting holes.The DD-METER can accept magnetic pickup turbine flow meters (AC signal), as well as magnetic flow meters (open collector signal) simply by changing an internal jumper position. The DD-METER can accept AC power and provide a 12V power source for powered meters, or can run for years off an internal lithium battery for use with magnetic pickup type flow meters.Analog and digital outputs are also available. The DD-METER can output a scaled pulse based on the K factor and units back to external equipment. When ordered with an additional communications daughter card, the DD-METER supports MODBUS communications to provide date, time, rate, and pulse to equipment such as a PLC.

The MPC-100 is a low power signal conditioner that can be used with typical 12VDC supplies and be DIN rail mounted with equipment.Designed for use in harsh places, the MPC-100 is Class 1 Div 2 approved. The module has reverse supply protection and is to be used with 24 VDC 100mA max transient protected power.The MPC-100 automatically converts the input wave to a rail-to-rail amplified square output for a wide input frequency and voltage range to condition your signal for accurate counting. Meter outputs can typically be too weak to drive a data logger or PLC input, which can lead to lost data.Signal conditioners are also sometimes referred to as signal amplifiers, isolation amplifiers, signal transmitters, ground loop isolators, 4-20ma converters, 4-20ma signal isolators or 4-20ma loop isolators. The MPC-100 is for frequency wave input.

The RG-525 rainfall sensor is a remote tipping bucket rain gauge used to measure the amount of liquid precipitation caused by rainfall.The rain gauge is a freestanding receptacle with mounting feet that allow for easy placement outdoors for measuring precipitation. It features an open top with grated filter to prevent debris entering but freely allows rainfall to enter into the collector. Collected water is funneled to a tipping bucket, which incrementally measures the rainfall accumulation and causes a momentary closure of a switch. As water is collected, the tipping bucket fills until tipping over emptying the bucket and readying the other side for collection. Each tip is equivalent to 0.1 mm of rainfall. Water discharged by the tipping bucket passes out of the rain gauge from below with no need for manual emptying and to prevent from condensation building up inside.

This durable weather instrument for monitoring water levels in streams, reservoirs, surface water, ground water, or tank levels can reliably and accurately provide you with consistent readings in a variety of operating conditions. This level transmitter was designed to provide a low-cost, reliable, industrial, submersible probe. Its simple design ensures trouble-free operation, yet provides very accurate readings when used with an Optimum Instruments Data Dolphin Series Data Logger. It has a stainless steel diaphragm with the option for titanium. 90 kg pull strength Polyethylene shield vented cable can be ordered to desired length, with the sensor including 25 feet standard. As an extra precaution to provide protection to the cable, aluminum flex conduit can also be added as an option to your cable. Flying leads provide power and output signal connections.
