Data Logger and Transmitter In One
The EWS Well-Cap Groundwater Monitoring Solution makes it easy to automate measurement of groundwater wells.
EWS’s Groundwater Well-Cap leverages the power and reliability of our Switch Data logger family to deliver a cost-effective, self-contained package to monitor groundwater and any other environmental applications. Made from extremely robust glass filled nylon with a lockable hasp, the telemetry electronics sit safely within the IP68 top section and can be easily configured via our Bluetooth mobile app.
Hassle-free and quick installation – the Well-Cap is simply connected to the sensor, placed over the monitoring bore and fixed in place with grub screws. Different adaptors allow it flexibility to fit to any bore diameter. Easily gain access to the bore for pump sampling or calibration dips by simply flipping back the lid.
5 Year Battery Life or Solar
The EWS Switch device that powers the Well-Cap solution works on a replaceable longlife battery or integrated 2W solar, powering Iridium Satellite Network or Cellular connectivity.
Easy Modem Configuration
EWS Well Cap allows for easy swap-out of the modem, enabling the internal Switch to communicate with any network protocol.
Universal Compatibility
EWS Well Cap works with with any and all environmental sensors and mounts on any pipe for excellent value and easy deployment.
