The Model 8020-50 Spread Spectrum Wireless Field
Station is a self contained, battery powered and wireless modem designed
to provide short range, full duplex data communication between Geokon
LC-1 and Micro-10 dataloggers and the operators PC. The L.O.S. range
is 1.6 km but this can be increased up to 8 km using optional “gain”
type antennas. The 902-928 MHz ISM Band Recombinant Spread Spectrum
transceiver eliminates the problems of interference common to most short
range wireless communication systems.

The Model 8020-54 Vibrating Wire (VW) to Analog
Converter provides a simple way to connect Geokon’s vibrating wire
transducers to data acquisition systems which are not capable of reading
frequency signals nor able to generate the proper signals required to
excite VW transducers. The Model 8020-54 can operate with single transducers
as a stand-alone device, or with multiple transducers in conjunction
with the Geokon Model 8032 Multiplexer. The Model 8020-54 is powered
using a 12 V (nominal) supply, or the optional 24 V DC-DC converter
can be used to allow powering from a standard 24 V, 4-20 mA current
loop.
