SYMPHONIE

Symphonie NRG Logger with MMC and accessories
Welcome to Symphonie, the industry's first Internet-enabled wind resource assessment data logger!

The Symphonie NRG Logger is a flexible, twelve-channel wind energy data acquisition system that provides time-stamped data from up to 6 frequency output sensors and up to 6 analog sensors. Three anemometer and two wind direction channels are built in and up to seven "plug and play" Signal Conditioning Modules (SCM), purchased separately, may be installed into each Symphonie Logger to add additional sensors.

Data is averaged every ten minutes, time stamped and stored on widely available 16MB MMC cards. MMC Cards (one MMC Card included) are capable of storing over one year of data. A real-time display and keypad are built into the logger to facilitate site visits. Symphonie is rugged and can be installed at environmentally harsh sites with confidence.

Symphonie directly interfaces with your choice of communication iPacks to transfer data to your local Internet Service Provider (ISP). With an added communication iPack (AMPS Analog, GSM, Dial-up), it is not necessary to make a site visit to change the MMC Card. The data will automatically be transferred to an ISP and an email will arrive at your desk. All iPacks (Battery PV, Dial-up, AMPS, GSM) are designed to be "plug and play" with minimal hardware configuration necessary. Due to additional power requirements, choosing a BP-20 or RH SCM for a barometric pressure sensor or relative humidity sensor requires an iPack to provide the necessary 12V source.
