Nevada City, California 95959 6/11 Description Automata’s Basic MINI-SS Field Station includes: 4 analog inputs, 5 amp hour battery, license-free spread spectrum radio, rubber ducky antenna with 16 foot data cable, mounting hardware and is housed in our standard post chassis enclosure. Additional analog and digital inputs and outputs are available, as options. The MINI-SS can be centrally located in a field and report data wirelessly back to the MINI-SS Base Station located at the home/office. Each MINI-SS Station has user programmable features including programmable identification number, report interval, sensor warm-up time, and input/output channel selection. The MINI-SS is used for many remote monitoring and control applications across industry boundaries such as agriculture, water distribution, light industrial, and environmental monitoring. Installation It can be conveniently mounted on a 2” steel pole. Other options include NEMA 4 chassis, and cord grips for individual cables. See the manual for details. SPECIFICATIONS Operating Modes: Timed Mode Sensor values and/or control output status are reported at user programmable time intervals (1.0 minute minimum). Event Mode A report of any digital (ON/OFF) input is generated whenever one such input changes state. Digital event inputs may be programmed as pulse counters. Analog Event Mode - A change in the reading of an analog channel generates a report for earlier detection of rapidly changing conditions. Interrogation Any sensor value or control status can be interrogated at any time. Repeater Capability Any radio telemetry station can be programmed to operate as a repeater, thereby extending the effective size of a SCADA system. Control Output - (optional) 0.1A current sink per control output 12 V supply available internally to drive load If external supply is used, maximum voltage = 24Vdc Up to 4 controls available per MINI-SS Station. Consult Automata if more is needed per station. Analog Sensor Inputs (10 bit): 0-5V 0-1mA 0-20mA 4-20mA Signal conditioning available for 1 channel to accommodate mV signals. 4 analog inputs with lightning protection on each channel included in price of each MINI Field Digital Sensor Inputs (optional) Contact Closure 0-5V Pulse Counters Up to 3 can be ordered for each MINI-SS Field Station. Consult Automata if more is needed per station.
