DT2055B: 5/10 Channel Vibrating Wire/Thermistor Data Logger
The DT2055B is ideal for remote locations or instruments that require frequent reliable data recording.
Overview
The DT2055B: 5/10 Channel Vibrating Wire/Thermistor Data Logger is a low cost, battery powered data logger, designed for reliable, unattended monitoring of up to 10 sensors which may be any mix of vibrating wire sensors and thermistors, typically 5 vibrating wire sensors with their associated thermistors.
The DT2055B is ideal for remote locations or instruments that require frequent reliable data recording. It connects to all vibrating wire sensors including piezometers, crack meters, and strain gauges; however, the DT2055B Ten Channel Data Logger will not connect to vibrating wire sensors with auto resonant circuitry.
Vibrating wire sensors have unique advantages in geotechnical applications, as the frequency output of the gauge is immune to external electrical noise, able to tolerate wet wiring without signal degradation, and able to transmit the signal up to 1.6 kilometers without loss.
Data logger setup and data collection is done using a laptop. DT Logger Host Software is also included. A single gland option (DT2055B-T) is also available for Multi-point Vibrating Wire Piezometer Strings or Thermistor Strings.
The DT2055B can also be equipped with an optional radio antenna (see photo) to incorporate it into an RSTAR or DT LINK wireless system.

Speak with an Expert
I’m very happy with the quality of the instrumentation and technical support from RST, as always. They worked with us from the initial stages of the project to ensure that we were fully prepared and equipped to use the RSTAR network for the first time. They delivered everything within the tight project time frame to ensure that there were no delays on site, and the submersible tilt meters looked like new even after over twelve months of being submerged in Thames water!
