Communications, Mounting, and Power Equipment
LI-COR eddy covariance systems can be equipped with wireless and satellite communications, solar power supplies, and mounting equipment for your sensors and communications modules.
Cellular communications
The Cellular Communication System features a Sierra Wireless™ AirLink® RV50 gateway that puts your system online for wireless transmission of eddy covariance, soil gas flux, and other data.
When your system is online, you can check the status of your instruments, transfer raw data from your site, and configure the instruments from your office or home computer.
For ultimate synchronization of data, the cellular communication system includes an 8-port ethernet network switch that allow users to integrate multiple devices, such as the LI-7700 methane analyzer, LI-8100/A automated soil flux systems, communication modems, dataloggers, etc. The switch is DIN rail-mountable for easy integration into a LI-COR enclosure.
Satellite communications
The Satellite Communication System features a Hughes 9502 Fixed Satellite Terminal that provides alternative remote communications if your site is not in range of a cellular network.
The satellite system includes an antenna, antenna cable, antenna mounting post, power and data cables, enclosure, mounting hardware, and instructions to configure your gas analyzer and communication system.
Heavy duty adjustable tripod
Protect your investment with the rugged 7900-300 heavy duty adjustable tripod.
This sturdy instrument platform provides strong support for eddy covariance systems, meteorological sensors, and enclosures, and can withstand hurricane-force winds of up to 100 mph. The tripod extends to a height of up to 4 meters.
Solar power supply
LI-COR solar power systems are robust power sources designed to provide 4 dark-days of operation to your eddy covariance systems.
These 24-volt systems provide power with greater efficiency than 12-volt systems, which is well-above the minimum voltages for most of the instrumentation. LI-COR solar power systems are supplied by SunWize Technologies and are delivered ready for deployment. A DC-to-DC converter is available for 24-to-12 VDC conversion for instruments that require 12 VDC.
