ICT Monitoring Systems

ICT International has designed and manufactured a new generation of monitoring solutions for agriculture and the environment based on their 30 year worldwide experience in the application of quantitative technologies to soil moisture monitoring, plant water use and meteorology studies.

The integrity of the monitoring solution lies in the integrated Smart Logger and Smart Sensor system comprised of an advanced electronics package, powered by a sophisticated microprocessor in every sensor. The result is a system that is at the cutting edge of electronic technology as it allows users to simply plug in a sensor, press a button and start recording. There is no need for complicated hard wiring, custom programming, or engineering expertise, hence the description of functionality as "plug and play". The customer's time now is dedicated to quickly and confidently collecting data for research or real-time decision making.

By delivering a monitoring system that is simple to use, highly accurate, reliable, versatile and low cost, ICT International is offering to exceed every customer's application and performance expectation in regard to their new generation of monitoring systems.

4-20mA Products and Solutions
MP406 4-20		The MP406C with integrated 4–20 mA output interface has an analogue current loop output of 4–20 mA which can be used directly by industry standard irrigation controllers and cabling power systems and hence is ideal for use in Parks and Gardens, Golf Courses and similar installations.
GT3-420 Tensiometer		The GT3-420 has an industry-standard 4 to 20mA current loop output that can be used to interface it to a wide variety of standard devices including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and data loggers.
ECH₂O EA-10		The EA-10 sensor has a standard 2-wire, 4-20 mA analogue interface for use with industrial data acquisition and control systems. The EA-10 has a very low power requirement and high resolution. This gives you the ability to make as many measurements as you want over a long period of time (i.e. a growing season), with minimal battery usage.
Logging Products and Solutions
ECH₂O Logger System Em5		The Em5 Logger system is a small battery-operated 5-channel analogue logger system available at low cost. The Em5B operates on 3xAAA batteries for up to six months and can store approximately 3400 readings.
Advanced Logger System Em50		The Em50 is a 5-channel, self-contained data recorder designed for use with any ECH2O sensor. The sensors are plugged into the 5 channels and measured as directed by the user. Housed in a weatherproof enclosure with an O-ring seal, the Em50 is ideal for long-term outdoor use. With minimal battery usage, the Em50 can take readings as often as once per minute for over a year.
ProCheck hand-held readout device		The hand-held ProCheck gives you a read-out and stores reading from any of Decagon's soil moisture or environmental sensors.
Smart Logger System		ICT's SL5 Smart Logger uses state-of-the-art electronics and an operational concept not available in any other system. For nontechnical users, the "plug and play" capability provides a simple but powerful user-friendly system. For researchers, the Smart Logger provides all the in-built simplicity yet the ability to customise data collection criteria for specific projects.
