The Canary Systems® MLDAQ-WC is a powerful, rugged and reliable wireless data acquisition Base Station. It provides a broad range of measurement and control functions and serves as a Base Station for wireless deployments, in particular from our WRMT-A Wireless Remote. A single Base Station is capable of supporting up to 20 remotes with multiplexers, and as many as 336 remotes with single instruments.

The MLDAQ-WC supports measurements from a wide range of available sensors, including vibrating wire, load cells, micro-electro-mechanical (MEMs) sensors, flowmeters, linear potentiometers, thermocouples, thermistors, SDI-12 sensors, 4-20mA sensors, weather instruments such as wind sets, rain gages, temperature and humidity.

At the heart of the system is the CR6 Measurement and Control Module. This MCU features very flexible programming and communications, along with large internal data storage and provides for reading all commercially available vibrating wire instrumentation including piezometers, strain gages, crack/displacement meters, in-place inclinometers and load cells. Canary Systems MiniMux or MultiMux are available as options to expand the number of measurement channels per station.

The MLDAQ-WC comes standard with an RF4xxSpread-Spectrum radio for medium to long range telemetry. Numerous other communications options are also available, including 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi, cellular modems, satellite, multi-drop interfaces and short-haul modems.
