Field Installation Examples
The following examples represent some typical field installation sites showing use of a variety of
mounting supports for the 6200 DCP enclosure as well as various sensors that may be used with the
6200 DAS. These photographs and brief descriptions may provide you with some ideas related to
how to set up your field station.
NOTE
When selecting a site for the 6200 DCP avoid other installed equipment.
Do not run sonde cables parallel to other industrial or RF equipment.
Site A…Remote Pier-based Water Monitoring Station
Existing Support Structure (utility pole), Solar Powered, Radio Communications Link
6820 Sonde for near pier water monitoring of marine bay
In Site A above you see a field station dedicated to water quality monitoring. The YSI 6820
sonde is set up to measure DO, temperature, salinity, pH, ORP, level, and turbidity in this marine
bay. Readings are logged to the 6200 DCP every 15 minutes. The base station, about 5 miles
away, interrogates the DCP once an hour by UHF radio link to download data to EcoWatch DCP.
Solar power recharges the battery to maintain continuous power to the field station. Every
couple of weeks someone visits the site to check sensors and perform maintenance if necessary
(as shown above).
