A753 UHF RTU
A753 addWAVE Series 4 is a total redevelopment of the previous A733 generation of RTUs. It offers “more” in every aspect: more resolution, more memory, more features, more flexibility and expandability – and much more. It nonetheless is still very easy to use and install, and has maintained the low-power approach of previous generations, perfectly capably of operating off our little solar panels. It is the perfect tool for professional users that want to establish and manage large scale measurement networks.

A753 addWAVE transmits with an output power of 500mW in the 70cm frequency band between 430 and 470MHz, and can achieve distances of up to 20km (12 miles), with adequate installation even more. Its radio protocol is fully backwards compatible to A731, A732, A733 and A740. Every A753 addWAVE can simultaneously be used as datalogger and as relay station for other Adcon RTU’s (e.g. A723, A732, A733). This allows to achieve distances of over 100km (60 miles) between the base station and the remotest location – data hops from one station to the next. This also allows the installation of radio stations in very difficult topographies, overcoming geographical barriers by simply transmitting around them or over them. Installing an A753 addWAVE is not difficult at all. With all major components – datalogger, radio, power supply – contained in a single, compact aluminum case, the user neither needs an external case nor specific know-how to connect the sensor cables and the solar panel to the RTU. An A753 addWAVE is capable of also supplying power to the sensors attached to it. It can either do so by feeding unregulated battery power to the sensors, or by supplying stabilized output power, programmable in 0,1V steps between 3.3 and 5.6V.

3.3V … 5.5V in 0,1V incrementsMemory 2MB for up to 500.000 values, depending on types of sensors attached (SDI-12 typically needs more memory than analog). Example: 15-minute data of an ETo station can be stored for 6 months. Special Logger functionality
Wind gust monitoring Port C + Adcon wind sensor: 4 samples per second, 4 times per second calculation of 3-second average; Date and time of gust stored Wind vector monitoring Port C + Adcon wind sensor: wind direction is measured simultaneously with speed, weighed depending on speed, and stored as a vector Rain intensity monitoring Port D + rain gauge with pulse output (max. resolution: 1 second). Date and time of ech pulse are stored; in addition up to 3 analog signals and 2 counter inputs can be stored, e.g. wind speed and air temperature Pressure hammer detection Port C + Adcon manometer sensor: manometer is permanently excited, sampled 4 x per second, and a 3-second average is stored Low Voltage amplifier Port B: sensors with an analog output of 0-150mV can be connected directly; internal amplifier Asynchronous sampling To prevent sensors from influencing each others readings when read simultaneously ports can be sampled sequentially Event-Monitor To rapidly detect status changes on a digital input it can be sampled up to once per second; date and time of each status change are put in memory; attention: with frequent status changes this can generate a lot of data! Applications: error detection on equipment, access control, pump monitoring, etc. Data transmission
