The Basics
The SonSetLink unit is a self-contained data collection device that also transmits your data. The unit includes everything needed to process and send your water system data to you, from virtually anywhere in the world.
A tiny microprocessor running our custom firmware collects data from sensors attached to the water system. It stores this data throughout the day, computing relevant thresholds. Once daily it packetizes the data, preparing it for transmission.
Each SonSetLink contains a modem—satellite or cellular. Satellite models send your water system data up to a satellite orbiting the earth, then the satellite sends the data back down to earth. A ground station receives the data and it is stored in the cloud. Cellular models communicate with the local cellular network to transmit the data. We retrieve the data, process it, and make it available to you for use.
A Little More Detail
Lithium Powered
The AA lithium batteries in our hand pump models are accessible worldwide and easy to replace. Battery life is typically 3-5 years, but will depend on the specific configuration, such as the number of satellite transmissions per day, number of data samples per day, type of inputs, etc.
Our solar pump model is completely solar-powered and the rechargeable lithium cells enable years of life in the field.
Variety of Possible Sensors
Any 4-20mA sensor can be used to collect data; our monitor will record, store, and transmit the data. Some possible sensors include ORP, Ph, water level, etc.
Most configurations use IP68 rated cable grips to pass sensor wires into each monitor box. Typical cable lengths of 100 ft. allow for placement of the monitor on top of structures for better security and unobstructed view of the satellites.
Scheduled Transmissions
Each monitor has a transmission schedule; the standard rate is once per day (less than $85 annually).
SonSetLink Web
Your data must be clear and actionable. We know that, which is why we built our own data visualization platform.
