Em50R Wireless Radio Data Logger

Download Data Without Visiting Your Logger

The Em50R lets you download data without plugging into your data logger as long as you are within radio range (typically 1-3 miles).  The Em50R is a self-contained data logger built to power, read, and log data from five sensors. Logged data are transmitted via radio signal to a Decagon base station.  All Decagon sensors work with the Em50R; no programming is necessary.

The Em50R has been used:

  • To monitor greenhouse fertigation from an office.
  • To collect data from 42 logger nodes in a soil moisture variation study.
  • To monitor multiple fields from a central support building.

Easy Connectivity Check

See signal strength and connection quality in real time as you pick the best spot for the data logger and antenna. This feature lets you test connectivity BEFORE you install the logger.

Safeguard Your Data

Occasionally, external factors can interfere with transmission. The Em50R has a "confirm data delivery" protocol to make sure that every data transfer is correct and complete. Transmitted data is also backed up in the data logger memory to give you an extra layer of data protection
