1.1 WIRELESS DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS
RST DT Series Data Loggers are compatible with RSTAR and DT Link wireless data
collection systems. When RST data loggers are equipped with radios to wirelessly
retrieve data, the entire data logger should be installed above ground to maintain a
clean line-of-sight between the attached antenna and the remote hub. Refer to
Section 3 for examples of specific secondary enclosures that have been designed for
this type of application. Contact RST Instruments for further information and options.
