Observant Pico

Description

The Observant Pico serves a similar function to the C3 and Solo, however is designed to be used in cases where external or permanent power is available, for example pump or valve stations. The Pico features a newer generation ARM based processing core, along with a swiss-army-knife of wireless communications including bluetooth, 3G/CDMA, GPS and spread spectrum 900MHz. Hardwired options include ethernet, USB, SDI-12 and RS485.

A small internal backup battery allows warning messages to be sent in the event of mains power loss. A touch screen user interface allows local control of the equipment under management.

The Pico is designed to be installed indoors, and can be panel mounted on the front of an existing electrical switch-box.
