Description

The Base Radio Logger is a key component of the AKS Technologies'wireless monitoring systems. It communicates with remote field sensors Units using a secure, reliable, and robust communications protocol.
The Base Radio easily connects to existing control systems, PCs and satellite collection systems making the integration of AKS systems with existing infrastructure simple and low cost. A unique feature of tre Base Radio Logger is that Data are also recorded to an internal, removable, high-capacity compact flash memory card. This provides local, independent and redundant data storage.

A single Base Radio can communicate with up to 100 remote sensors. A wide variety of these sensors are available for measuring pressure (gauge, absolute and differential), temperature, level, events, and flow.

AKS Technologies has integrated the Base Radio Logger into integrated packages for production well testing, long-term well-site monitoring and artificial lift applications providing complete monitoring solutions.
