Overview
The X2-SDLMC with cellular telemetry includes an
integrated modem. Two sensor ports provide industry
standard protocols including SDI-12, RS-232, and RS-485.
The SOLAR/HOST MCIL-6-FS port offers direct commu-
nication (serial to PC) and power input. All connections
are made using MCIL/MCBH wet-mate connectors. The
X2-SDLMC is powered from an internal solar recharge-
able battery reserve. Smartphones and tablets connect
by WiFi.
Data is accessed and stored on the WQData LIVE web
datacenter. An easy-to-use dashboard and built-in sensor
library automatically facilitate setup and configuration.
