The water quality sensors include water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP,
depth/level, turbidity, nitrate, ammonia and chloride.
The system includes a field station (6200 DCP), which houses a powerful data logger and connects
to any of the water quality or meteorological sensors you choose. The data logger uses a 32-bit
microprocessor with up to 1 megabyte of data storage memory. Windows

software functions to interrogate the data logger and display real-time results in time stamped table
format. Alternatively, you may request data stored in the field station less frequently to conserve
power. The software also provides autoconfiguration capability during setup and calibration and
includes a powerful plotting package for further analysis of the recorded data.
There are four options for communication between the field station and the base station computer.
They are (1) direct link via RS-232 serial communication, (2) phone modem communication, (3)
cellular phone communication, and (4) UHF radio communication.
There are three options for powering the field station. They are (1) rechargeable lead acid battery
(12 volt, 12 Ah) mounted inside the NEMA 4X field station enclosure, (2) solar panel that charges
the battery described in 1 above, and (3) 100/120//220/230-240 V~, 50/60 Hz power. The battery
is installed in all versions. It is required in the solar setup and serves as a backup in the AC power
setup.
The 6200 DAS comes to you configured to your order, including all interface cables. You may
need to provide additional wiring and junction boxes if you are powering the field station with AC
power. You may need to provide mounting supports for the main enclosure and various
accessories, such as sensors, antennas and the like. Most of the mounting hardware you need
comes with the 6200 system, but some may not be appropriate for your particular mounting
configuration.
The 6200 DAS specifications are described below. You may refer to Appendix A for
specifications of specific sensors and accessories. In addition, the accessory manuals provided
with this manual package should be helpful.
