¬Schlumberger Water Services (SWS) has announced the release of Diver-DCX (Direct Communication eXchanger), a new component in the Diver-Suite of groundwater monitoring systems that expands the communication format of Diver dataloggers to SDI-12 compatible telemetry systems. Diver-DCX provides users with the ability to integrate Diver dataloggers into telemetry systems for effective, real-time monitoring of municipal water supplies, industrial and contaminated sites and water levels and quality at mine sites.

“Historically our customers have been limited to retrieving datalogger data at the well site using cables or within close vicinity, using short-range wireless systems,” said Martin Draeger, marketing manager, SWS. “With the release of Diver-DCX, groundwater data can now be transmitted globally through our SDI-12 compatible telemetry system, giving groundwater suppliers instant access to detailed groundwater data with the click of a button. The result is significant cost and time savings over manual data collection.”

Diver-DCX features a built-in pressure sensor for automatically compensating water levels to the effects of atmospheric pressure, reducing the need for manual post-processing. The robust compact housing is water-resistant and is powered by an external source (no internal battery is required). This allows for flexible installation inside the well casing, translating to long-term, reliable operations. Diver-DCX is CE Certified and is compliant with the SDI-12 standard for environmental data acquisition.Visit www.swstechnology.com for the complete line of groundwater monitoring solutions.
