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.
