Wireless monitoring system with VaiNet Technology Long-range wireless monitoring ... Watch VaiNet video Overview Introducing the long-range wireless technology of the Vaisala viewLinc Monitoring System: VaiNet. VaiNet enables superior signal strength that penetrates concrete walls and metal structures eliminating the need for repeaters and amplifiers and ensuring data integrity and security. VaiNet operates independently of your existing wireless networks, leaving them unencumbered for other operational use. For applications where wireless is not an option, viewLinc supports networked data loggers, transmitters, and devices via any combination of Ethernet, PoE and USB. Learn more about VaiNet's RFL100 temperature and humidity data logger, the RFL100 temperature-only data logger, and the AP10 access point. We also offer Wi-Fi data loggers for use on your existing Wi-Fi network. To see all our options for wirelessly networking the viewLinc system, see our connectivity guide. For an outline of our data loggers and sensors, see our monitoring system device guide. Contact your local sales representative to learn which wireless data logger options are available in your region. Features Resistant to interference, interception and multi-path fading (reflections) RFL data loggers have a typical battery life of 18 months Data loggers connect to the system as soon as they are turned on Automatic recovery from power and network outages Signal strength between access points and data loggers determines the optimum data path Each RFL data logger uses 2 standard AA alkaline 1.5 Volt batteries Multi-probe loggers - temperature/humidity or temperature-only data loggers Probe replacement service available in some regions + Show more viewLinc Enterprise Server Software We know that reliable monitoring systems work in the background, safeguarding assets. You never need to interact with the system until there's an alarm. This means most continuous monitoring system users don't interact with their monitoring software very often. viewLinc was designed with an intuitive user interface that provides learn-through-use screen tips and functional tours that save you having to relearn the software each time you log in. viewLinc is supported for use with Microsoft Windows 10, Windows Edge and Chrome Browsers and provides automated reports localized for 8 languages. The software is backward-compatible with Vaisala’s industry-best instruments and data loggers. viewLinc versions 5.X are compatible with Vaisala's innovative long-range wireless technology: VaiNet. VaiNet RFL100 Data Logger The VaiNet wireless humidity and temperature RFL100 data loggers use VaiNet wireless technology to achieve wired equivalent connectivity and data integrity through Chirp Spread Spectrum signal modulation. The RFL data loggers feature superior signal strength to 100 m (330 ft.); and transmit much further in unobstructed environments. Powered with two standard AA sized batteries, 1.5V (LR6 or FR6) for easy battery replacement, the RFL logger has a detachable probe for easy calibration and provides 18 months of operation at 20 °C. VaiNet AP10 Network Access Point The Vaisala VaiNet RFL wireless data loggers require a connection to a VaiNet access point: the AP10. Each AP10 can connect up to 32 loggers to the viewLinc Enterprise Server software. In a typical system, the AP10 is installed within 100 meters of an RFL100 data logger. In unobstructed environments the range will be significantly higher. Installation is easy with each logger automatically identified by an AP10 when turned on. Access points, along with viewLinc, verify all data and store it in a secure database where it is protected from tampering and loss. Key Benefits Simple setup & configuration VaiNet’s wireless data loggers and access points are pre-programmed to locate each other and establish communication. Less equipment and less configuration simplifies installation so the system is easy to deploy, even with little or no previous experience setting up networked monitoring systems. Data integrity & efficient validation VaiNet operates autonomously from other wireless devices and networks on a sub-GHz ISM band. This prevents signal interference with WLAN applications. With a simple network topology, installation, validation and troubleshooting is easy; no repeaters, signal boosters, or mesh networking to complicate the system. Wired-equivalent reliability Wireless connection is self-healing with automatic recovery and data backfill. In case of connectivity issues, RFL data loggers automatically connect to another VaiNet AP10 access point. Reliable data transmissions means fewer transmission retries, which saves on power. Simple, efficient infrastructure VaiNet eliminates the need for dedicated and costly Ethernet connectivity for each data logger. Each VaiNet AP10 network access point supports up to 32 RFL data loggers. RFL data loggers that operate free of cabling are ideal in high-traffic areas and can be easily moved as monitoring needs change. Superior sensing technology, easy calibration VaiNet data loggers use detachable probes equipped with measurement electronics and calibration data. The probe is easily removed from the data logger and replaced with another newly calibrated probe in less than a minute. This ensures your critical environments are monitored accurately and without interruption. In some regions, we offer probe replacement as a service. Long-range signal VaiNet provides interference-resistant wireless connectivity with signal strength ≥100 meters using Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) wireless frequencies. A low-frequency signal means that barriers typical in industrial environments and warehouses do not impede data transmissions. Obstructions like cement block walls, metal shelving, heavy duty equipment, liquid products, foil packs, and other packaging do not hinder VaiNet signals.
