Station Technical Information
The AGW01 Winter Hazards station is solar-powered and uses equipment primarily from
Campbell Scientific (CS) to read sensors, store and process data, and provide telemetry. A
CR1000X data logger is used to measure and store data from a
variety of sensors and allow operator control of the station functions.
Data are automatically retrieved every hour from the station using a Windows version of
Loggernet Admin and posted online at least every 2-3 hours. This allows for a robust and
secure communication system. The near-real-time data display is achieved through RTMC-Pro.
On the RTMC plot above, battery voltage is being measured by both the CR1000X datalogger and
a CH201 12 V Charging Regulator. The CH201 also measures the soloar panel voltage
of the SP90-L 90 W solar panel, as well as the battery, load, and solar currents.
The outside air temperature is being measured by a HygroVUE5 air temperature
and relative humidity sensor. Finally, the CH201 and CR1000X measure their own internal temperatures.
