Q-DL-2100 Datalogger Specifications, cont.
• Power Requirements
o Voltage: 6 to 26 V DC
Note: Voltage greater than 12.3 V required to use fully regulated 12V output.
o Typical Current Drain:
Idle Mode: ~ 10 mA
Note: 7 mA is quiescent current of Integrated pressure sensor.
Can be powered from 12V or 24V solar panels.
• Datalogger Configuration
o Via simple to use QILogger.ini text file on external SD card.
o Via USB or RS232 port and terminal program such as Windows hyperterminal or Teraterm.
o Via PC based software with RS232 communications control
Note: Quaesta Instruments GUI driven PC based software in development
• Physical Specifications
o Dimensions: 7 ½ in. x 6 ¾ in. x 2 ¼ in.
o Rugged extruded aluminum housing
• Additional Features:
o Input Power is monitored and optionally recorded if desired.
o Power Conservation modes. Can be easily configured to enter power saving mode when:
• Input Power Voltage level drops below a user-settable threshold
 Daily power down time occurs (will then leave power saving mode when Daily Power Up time
occurs).
• Neutron Pulse Module (Q-NPM-1000) support
o The Q-NPM-1000 is a Quaesta Instruments neutron pulse module designed to interface directly
with neutron counting gas tubes, either of the Helium-3 (He3) or Boron Trifluoride (BF
3 )
type.
o Multiple Q-NPM-1000 modules may be connected to a Q-DL-2100 datalogger, allowing for
completely autonomous and unattended Neutron counting and logging.
