Ace DLG88L
Rugged outdoor data logger for agricultural and meteorological applications.
Overview
The Ace DLG88L is meticulously crafted for agricultural and meteorological applications. It connects with a variety of Agri/Met sensors, takes periodic measurements, processes acquired data, and stores everything on an onboard SD card while simultaneously transmitting to secured cloud servers via integrated LTE modem.
With an 8 GB data storage capacity — sufficient to store data for years — and USB connectivity for local retrieval, the DLG88L requires no AC power supply. A 20 W solar panel is all it needs to operate indefinitely in the field.
The onboard graphic LCD and 3-button keypad make on-site configuration effortless. Users can subscribe to Aeron's cloud portal for remote monitoring and data access from anywhere in the world.
Product code: 23005–23008
Key features
- Sensor Compatibility. Supports Davis® anemometers, Aeron® air T+RH sensors, Davis tipping bucket rain gauges, pyranometers, leaf wetness sensors, and Vegetronix soil probes.
- 4G LTE Communication. Integrated 4G LTE modem with AES 128-bit data encryption transmits real-time data to Aeron cloud or any web server with no Wi-Fi or Ethernet needed.
- 12-bit ADC Precision. 12-bit Sigma-Delta ADC at up to 10 Hz sampling — ±0.1% full-scale accuracy for reliable environmental and agricultural measurements.
- On-Board Display. 128×64 graphic LCD with 3-button keypad enables on-site configuration and live parameter viewing without a laptop or mobile app.
- 8 GB Storage. 8 GB micro-SD card with USB retrieval — expandable to 32 GB. Stores years of data locally with zero dependence on cloud connectivity.
- IP65 Rugged Enclosure. ABS UV-protected housing rated IP65 — weatherproofed for permanent outdoor deployment in agricultural and meteorological installations.
- Up to 176 Parameters. Acquires and computes up to 176 simultaneous sensor and derived parameters — from raw ADC readings to calculated evapotranspiration and disease risk indices.
- Solar-Ready Power. Charges from a 20 W solar panel — no AC supply needed. Built-in 3.7 V Li-ion battery for uninterrupted operation during low-irradiance periods.
- Precision Time Sync. RTC with replaceable backup battery and server-based time sync on every network connection — accurate timestamps across all logged parameters with 10 ppm/°C accuracy.
Applications
- Precision Agri Monitoring. Track soil moisture, temperature, and evapotranspiration for data-driven crop management and irrigation scheduling.
- Meteorological Station. Deploy as a standalone AWS or integrate into regional met networks — barometric pressure, wind profiling, long-term climate datasets.
- Remote Environmental Sensing. Solar-powered, GPS-synced, 5-year capacity — ideal for off-grid locations where cellular is the only link.
- Research & Education. Configurable 1-min to 24-hr logging, 176 simultaneous parameters, USB retrieval — perfect for academic and research deployments.
