Black Box for the transfer of measuring data to a network centre via the mobile radio network.
Datalogger and mobile communication module in compact stainless steel housing
The Gealog ftp is a complete set consisting of:
- Gealog ftp module IoT incl. Mobile IoT modem
- 1 pc. Gealog measuring interface of your choice incl. Overvoltage protection module
- Battery Pack
- Stainless steel housing W x H x D = 150mm x 300mm x 80mm
The robust stainless steel housing is equipped for the toughest measuring tasks and can be attached directly to a gauge pipe. pipe.
Applications

Advantages and functions
- Compact form factor of the stainless steel housing.
- Low power consumption. The easy replaceable integrated Battery Pack enables uninterrupted operation for one year.
- Remote data transfer to any FTP server, with freely selectable interval.
- Sampling rates and storage rates between 2 minutes and 24 hours.
- Time synchronization via NTP server.
Easy mounting by means of fixed plates and steel straps or cable ties.
The Gealog ftp Module is a snap-on module for DIN-rail mounting and 12V battery operation.It has a Gealog RS485-Fieldbus interface for connecting Gealog sensors or Gealog Measuring Interfaces. Because of this modular concept the Gealog ftp-module can be operated with various sensors. Additionally the Gealog ftp-Module has a serial interface for connecting the Gealog GSM/GPRS Modem. A configurable set of parameters defines the data recording and data transmission procedures. The internal data memory acts as a buffer for the recorded data during two data transfers to the central station and during gaps in the availability of the mobile radio connection.
The Gealog ftp is a simple and cost effective solution for transferring measured data to a central database. As database and visualization solution in the network-centre we recommend our database-application “GealogNET”. Data can be transferred to the network centre in different data formats. There are also simple converters available for importing the transferred data into other existing database applications.
In normal cases the Gealog ftp-Module with its additional components (modem, battery, …) is built into a small, robust stainless steel box. (see product image) It has the dimensions of only 300mm x 150mm x 80mm. Up to 2 Gealog Measuring Interfaces fit into this enclosure. The design of the enclosure allows mounting directly to the pipe of the groundwater measuring station or wall mounting in a measuring station hut. The high-grade antenna guarantees an optimal mobile-radio connection. Of course the Gealog ftp-components can be mounted into any electronic enclosure , also in different configurations (i.e. with solar power supply instead of battery-pack) and therefore can be adapted optimally to any measurement application. With the Gealog ftp components we have supplied automatic stations for i.e. groundwater monitoring, surface water level monitoring, road weather, water quality together with multiparameter probes, etc.
Gealog ftp operates at extremely low power consumption. One battery pack (Li-batteries) is good for a one-year operation of a Gealog ftp with water level/water temperature sensor and conductivity sensor and one data transfer to the central station per day..
Examples for Gealog ftp-configurations:
- Gealog ftp Water Level/Temperature: Gealog ftp with Gealog Water Level Sensor
- Gealog ftp Water Level/Conductivity/Temperature: Gealog ftp with Gealog Water Level Sensor and TetraCon325 conductivity sensor
By application of the high precision conductivity sensor TetraCon325 Gealog ftp achives laboratory precision for the conductivity measurement. The measuring range for conductivity can be adjusted to the measurement application, what significantly enhances the measurement precision and resolution.
Example: Measurement of carstic waters, expected measuring value in the range from 300 to 500 uS/cm –> Resolution 0.3 uS/cm - Gealog ftp pH/Redox/Temperature: Gealog ftp with digital pH/Redox-Sensor
- Gealog ftp Precipitation: Gealog ftp with i.e. tipping bucket rain sensor
