The New Stevens Featured Products

See them all at the USGS data conference

If you're with the USGS, we'll be showcasing our new M2M products at the USGS Data Conference Sept. 14-17. Our knowledgable team will be there to answer all your questions.

SOLO

Smart SDI-12 power management control.

Much more than a solar charge regulator, SOLO can receive commands via SDI-12 or remote pulse commands to control power all to monitoring station's devices (sensors, data loggers, radios.) With 2-way telemetry, this allows you to power cycle your station remotely when needed, or program a data logger to power cycle on a regular schedule as a preventative measure.

Unique features

In addition to remote power management, other features include:

Functions as an SDI-12 sensor to measure battery voltage, load current, and solar panel voltage output during solar cycle.
Remotely power-cycle the whole station via SDI-12 or pulse commands
Efficiently regulates power from solar panel to battery to extend life of battery by float control of power and temperature monitoring of the battery to avoid excess battery heating
Selectable setting of gel cell or lead acid batteries using an extended SDI-12 command

SOLO optimizes the efficient power management and control of a remote location.

SDI-12 Xplorer

Easy programming of any SDI-12 sensor through computer USB port.

The SDI-12 Xplorer enables easy programming of any SDI-12 sensor simply by connecting the sensor to a computer’s USB port. Configuration of the sensor can be done using any terminal program or Stevens Windows-based Xplorer software, which includes an expanding library of SDI-12 sensor and their respective commands.

Unique features

Easily change address and configure any SDI-12 sensor directly from a computer—no data logger needed
The USB power output is transformed to +12 V out and GND for powering connected SDI-12 sensors (up to 150 mA)
The Xplorer software can log sensor readings to a computer file based on user selectable time interval, which is useful for testing SDI-12 sensors
Easy-to-use Windows GUI

CELL-NET

2-way cellular telemetry with current-sipping power efficiency.

Cell-Net is a simple cellular telemetry solution (GSM/CDMA) for new or existing remote monitoring stations to transmit data via any HTTP or FTP and/or IP protocols. Unlike typical 2-way cellular modems which have a constant high power draw, Cell-Net operates almost entirely in an ultra-low power mode yet still provides the benefits of 2-way communications.
THE RESULT: reduced remote power requirements, reduced site visits and increased data reliability.

Unique features

Smart power management - Cell-Net stays in an ultra-low-power “sleep” mode when not actively transmitting. Power draw is similar to other modems during transmission, but this is for a very short periods at user-controlled transmission intervals.

Data Management - Cell-Net will listen for a connected logger or smart sensor to send data. Once received, it can either transmit this data immediately or store the data within the modem until the next scheduled transmission.

Redundancy - Data is transmitted for current reporting cycle and the last reporting cycle.

Reliability - Cell-Net verifies connection with cell network and HTTP connection before data is sent. If no connection is available, data is saved and sent the next scheduled transmission.

Connect directly to cloud - Provides direct IP connectivity to data loggers and smart sensors through a standard RS-232 serial port. No other interface hardware required.

Easy configuration - Configure via the web-based portal or by connecting to a PC and using an intuitively designed Windows program. No custom programming or scripts required.

eTRACKER

Connect sensors directly to the cloud.

eTracker is a is a true cloud-computing data acquisition platform that connects sensors directly to the cloud. A data logger is not required. Eliminating more expensive, complex, higher-power consuming data loggers and remote communication devices, stations for all types of monitoring applications can simply use eTracker and gain the ability to access collected data at any Internet based location. Station cost, power consumption, and site visits can be minimized.

Cellular-based telemetry and station controller.
Links sensors directly to the cloud, no need for a datalogger.
It’s like a virtual datalogger—all sensor data is forwarded to the cloud for processing and retrieval.
Integrated sensor interface with ports: 4 analog, 1 pulse, 1 SDI-12 (up to 61 SDI-12 sensor inputs).

Unique features

Link sensors to the cloud - Sensor data is forwarded directly to a server destination via the cellular network using HTTP and/or FTP protocols.
Redundant data storage - All data is also stored on removable data storage media (SD card) for redundancy.
Cloud-based data - All complex data manipulation, processing (if configured) and alarm notification setup is done in the cloud.
Integrated data management - Sensor configuration, data storage, calculations, control, analysis, alarms, reporting and actions all done in the cloud.

M2M:
Data Collection EVOLVED

MEASUREMENTS TO MIND (M2M) is a growing focus of Stevens products that embraces cloud-computing with an all-inclusive vision of shortening the communication path from the sensors to data on-line. They aim to revolutionize how you get your remote monitoring data, by providing:

unprecedented dependability
dramatically lowered station purchase and maintenance costs
cloud connectivity for easy data access, remote station setup and control
flexibility to get your data how and when you want it
