Vaisala VDL200 PoE Data Logger for viewLinc CMS
The Vaisala VDL200 is a secure Power-over-Ethernet data logger for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide and analog or Boolean inputs in controlled and GxP-regulated environments.
Designed for the Vaisala viewLinc Continuous Monitoring System, the VDL200 combines interchangeable smart probes, onboard memory and battery backup to provide reliable, gap-free environmental monitoring.
Vaisala VDL200 Power-over-Ethernet Data Logger
The Vaisala VDL200 is a multi-parameter Power-over-Ethernet data logger designed for reliable environmental monitoring in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, laboratory and other controlled environments.
The VDL200 connects directly to the Vaisala viewLinc Continuous Monitoring System, providing secure measurement, alarming, real-time trends and reporting across small monitoring installations or large multi-site systems.
A single Ethernet cable provides network communication and operating power. Interchangeable probe options allow the same data-logging platform to monitor temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, differential pressure, door contacts and numerous analog parameters.
