GenIIModel RX250AL -Receiver / Logger

SHARE

The RX250AL Receiver logger is the heart of a GenII logging system. Because the RX250AL is responsible for receiving and storing the data, it is not necessary to have a PC permanently connected. The built-in battery means data logging is not interrupted even if there is a temporary AC mains failure. Multiple RX250ALs can be used for wide area coverage. Alarms (including SMS alarms) come as standard. (To use SMS alarms, a GSM modem is required).

The UHF flexi/SMA standard quarter wave whip antenna and LW-ANT/SMA antenna have a similar performance profile; but the LW-ANT/SMA can be used when the logger is required to be placed inside a screened cabinet, or better reception can be achieved by placing the antenna in a particular location where it would not be practical to locate a logger.Yagi directional antennae are useful in outdoors applications for achieving a longer distance between the transmitter and receiver. Please note that in the UK, these antennae should only be used with a logger or receiver; please check your local regulations if you are outside the UK.

SQ/RS485

RS232 to RS485 interface converter

This unit converts the standard RC250 or Squirrel RS232 interface to a RS485 interface; thereby allowing equipment with the RS485 interface to communicate with the receiver/logger.

  • Allows much longer cable lengths than RS232 - RC250/Squirrel can be further away from the PC or other connected equipment
  • All RC250 units (after serial number T-25194) are compatible with this device

If you require a new logger to work with this interface, please specify at the time of ordering. Existing loggers may need a firmware update to work with the RS485 interface - please contact Eltek for advice.

Squirrels using this interface must be mains powered.
