TrackerNode:
Water Quality Telemetry for Rivers, Docks and Indoor Sites
​The TrackerNode (ART-TRN1) brings AquaRealTime sondes and sensors online wherever a floating buoy isn’t the right fit. Mount it on a dock, bridge, existing buoy or shore post, or indoors. It collects readings from up to two sondes or sensors and uploads them over managed cellular to the AquaRealTime dashboard, on solar or shore power.
When to use the TrackerNode
-
Rivers, streams and canals: where currents make a floating buoy impractical
-
Existing buoys: mount on a navigation or monitoring buoy already in place
-
Docks and fixed structures: piers, bridges or a post on shore
-
Indoors: treatment plants, pump stations and labs, on shore power
Key features
-
Two ports: Connect two sondes or sensors, such as a TrackerSonde and a single sensor.
-
Solar or shore power: Run off-grid with the optional solar panel, or from any 5 V DC supply.
-
Managed cellular: Automatic carrier hopping keeps the best connection, and AquaRealTime manages the service.
-
Dashboard and alerts: Readings upload to the AquaRealTime dashboard for charts, history and threshold alerts.
-
SCADA integration: Pull data into SCADA or other third-party software through the REST API.
-
Compact and rugged: An IP67 enclosure under 1 kg mounts outdoors on the water or indoors.
