MT-718 PS – battery-operated, energy-effcient telemetry logger with IP68

MT-718 PS is a compact, battery-powered telemetry module designed for monitoring, logging and data transmission in water supply, industrial and environmental applications. Thanks to 2G/4G packet transmission (Cat 1 or NB-IoT/LTE Cat M1 – depending on the version), the device ensures reliable connectivity even in locations without power supply and access to infrastructure.

The integrated data logger with a capacity of up to 65,000 records allows for precise collection of measurements with a resolution of up to 1 second. Low energy consumption, advanced sleep modes and the possibility of powering from replaceable batteries (alkaline or lithium) ensure years of maintenance-free operation.

The device is equipped with 5 binary/counter inputs, 2 analogue inputs 0–5 V DC (with 4–20 mA conversion option), a built-in pressure transducer, temperature and humidity sensors, and an RS-485 interface with Modbus RTU support. An optional OLED display and the option of remote configuration and firmware updates via OTA increase functionality and user-friendliness.

The housing with protection class IP68 allows installation in areas exposed to moisture and periodic flooding – up to 2 metres of submersion for 24 hours.
