Instruments

Currently, CTEMPs has 3 Field Deployable DTS (FD-DTS) systems that are complete stand alone systems capable of running on solar power or 110/220 VAC. These systems are disigned for harsh environments and can be configured with a variety of data storage and upload capacities. In addition, CTEMPs maintains 2 other DTS systems, one designed primarily for 110VAC power accessible environments, with less harsh environmental conditions (Sensornet Halo) and a spatial and temporal resolutions instrument (Silixa Ultima). Center also has access, on an as available basis, of several DTS systems operated by OSU and UNR. Please contact the Center to determine if these systems are available and fit your needs.


Priority will be given for standard deployment periods (6 weeks) for these instruments

Field deployable DTS (FD-DTS) system with standard (2 m) spatial resolution

This system consists of a 4 channel Sensornet Oryx DTS with 5km range and operating software. The system can be configured with 5 Crossbow/eKo remote weather stations, each with precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed, temperature and relative humidity sensors. Also included is a 3G compatible cell phone data link via Verizon network (SIM card provided) or on-board data storage. The system is enclosed in a weatherproof shelter. The standard system is shipped to operate on 110VAC. The system can equipped with 200 W solar panels for power in most applications (user must provide two 70 amp-hour deep discharge batteries).

The system also includes 10 stand-alone temperature loggers and reader, standard calibration bath coolers and mixing pumps.

Users may request additional sensors, loggers, weather stations, power and peripherals on the application page.

Field Deployable DTS Unit

Laboratory high-resolution DTS system

This system consists of a Silixa Ultima, with very high spatial (0.25m) and temporal (1Hz) resolution DTS system for use in sites with environmental control (e.g., <40 C, < 90%R.H., >200W power). Contact CTEMPs for application requirements for this system.

Users may request this instrument on the application page.

Silixa Ultima Unit

DTS system with reduced (4 m) spatial resolution

This system consists of a dual channel Sensornet Halo 4m spatial resolution instrument suitable for laboratory or controlled field environments. This instrument is best suited for applications where the DTS is housed under environmental control, with 110VAC power available. Other configurations are possible; please contact CTEMPs for deployment options and availability.

Users may request this instrument on the application page.
