microSpider2 Lite
The microSpider2 Lite is an economical, self-contained data logging and telemetry system. The compact, waterproof (IP-68) enclosure makes it suitable for installations in the toughest environments. Ideal for simple applications such as metering, tank monitoring, and level monitoring.
Key Features
Self-contained System
Includes all hardware, batteries, and built-in mobile communications; no additional infrastructure required.
Long Battery Life
Up to five years on the internal battery - typical, and dependent on sensors and configuration.
Built-in Mobile Module
Supports 4G or LTE Cat-M1 / NB-IoT connectivity for remote data transmission.
Waterproof Enclosure
IP-68 rated to withstand harsh environments.
User-configurable Alerts
Send SMS or email notifications based on sensor thresholds.
Remote Management
Update firmware and configure settings via web interface from anywhere.
Browser-based Interface
No additional software required for setup, testing, or data download.
SCADA Integration
An optional DNP3 software licence adds direct SCADA integration.
How It Works
Deploy & Install
The microSpider2 Lite is mounted on-site and connected to sensors or measurement points. Its compact enclosure allows deployment in tight or restricted locations.
Connect & Configure
Use the browser-based interface to configure inputs, alarms, logging intervals, and remote connectivity. No software installation is needed.
Log & Report
Data is automatically transmitted via mobile network or LAN. Alerts are sent to nominated recipients, and historical data can be downloaded in CSV format.
Monitor & Maintain
Battery life and system health are monitored remotely, reducing the need for frequent site visits.
Simplify Your Monitoring
No complex software or specialised training required. microSpider2 Lite provides a lightweight, reliable web-based solution for logging, alarming, and reporting, ready to integrate with your existing systems.
