Description

The mains-powered 6805 Davis Instruments IP EnviroMonitor (EM) Gateway bundle is an alternative to the cellular EnviroMonitor system

The bundle includes

Use with any Davis Instruments sensor suite, cabled or wireless and/or
Add one to as many as 25 or even more 6810 EnviroMonitor Nodes if you want to add additional sensors into your EM network
Each Node has four ports. Ports are not hard-wired so you can install any four compatible sensors. Set-up via the Davis EnviroMonitor App
Each node transmits the sensor data wirelessly back to the Gateway
Nodes can be up to 750- 1200m line of sight apart (depending on height about crops and the ground)
If required, extend the range between the Gateway and the Nodes using long-range antenna (sold separately)
Having received the data, the 6805 IP Gateway then uploads the data from any sensor suites or nodes to the Davis website, weatherlink.com using your Wi-Fi network or the included Ethernet cable

If you want to add a range of selected third-party sensors to your system
If the 300m range of a Davis WeatherLink system is not enough. With the 6805 Gateway, although the sensor suite needs to be within 300m line of sight, the Nodes can be further afield

Please get in touch to discuss before purchasing as we really enjoy helping you design a system that will work well for you. Provide us with site details (distances, terrain, if you have internet on site) and tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will make recommendations for the cheapest system to achieve your requirements
The 6805 EnviroMonitor Gateway is a great solution if you have internet on site. If you don’t, check out the 6803 EnviroMonitor 3G/4G cellular Gateway bundles
If you do not need the third party sensors, we have other solutions that do not have the ongoing cost of an annual data plan. Check out the Vantage Pro 2 WeatherLink Bundle
This bundle includes the first 12 months of the cellular data plan. The next data plan will be billed in 12 months time
Interested in a longer time period for the data plan? Let us know

A 12 month cellular data plan (choose between 5, 15 & 60 minute updates)
A 12 month subscription to the Pro Tier of weatherlink.com (includes the Mobilize app)

Mains powered with backup battery
Backup batteries 4x AA (not included)
Requires power – cannot run on batteries alone
Battery life is five days
Adaptor is 5V, 1000 mA
Average current draw: 100 mA
Peak current draw: 700 mA
Set-up requires a WiFi or router Ethernet internet connection and is completed via the Davis EnviroMonitor App, which steps you through the process
Housing is ASA plastic
Has an internal barometric pressure sensor
Dimensions: 180x100x30mm
Weight: 0.22kg (unit only)
Designed for indoor use but can be used outside with mains power in a Universal Shelter
Installation of backup batteries is strongly recommended. In the case of power loss, with backup batteries, the Gateway will stop uploading data to the Davis website, but will continue receiving and saving sensor data. It will then upload that data once mains power is restored

These are all sold separately so you can build a system that matches your exact requirements

The maximum distance between a Gateway and a Node or between two Nodes depends on many factors, including the mounting height, terrain, environment and RF noise
Mounted at 3m above an open field or highest crop height, Nodes can be 730m-1220m from a Gateway
With nodes mounted at 1.8m and a Gateway at 2.4m, 545-730m line of sight
Transmission distances are line of sight. Hills and large metal structures will block signals.
Shelter belts, dense bush will reduce the distances. Range will also be reduced if transmitting in an orchard or under a canopy.
A Node will use another Node as a repeater to pass the data back to the Gateway
Long range antenna (5dBi or 8dBi) are available to increase the transmission distance between Nodes or between a Node and the Gateway
