Adcon Telemetry Announces New Advances in Agricultural Data Monitoring; A733 addWAVE Refines Tools for Irrigation Management and Disease Control.Business Editors BOCA RATON Boca Raton (bō`kə rətōn`), city (1990 pop. 61,492), Palm Beach co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic; inc. 1925. Boca Raton is a popular resort and retirement community that experienced significant industrial development in the 1970s and 80s. , Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2000 Adcon Telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. , the specialist in environmental risk management, announces a new product that will further enable professional growers and farmers to maximize production, enhance irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. management and reduce the damage from pests, disease and adverse weather conditions. The A733 addWAVE is a new, more powerful system, which replaces the A730 MD weather station. Designed for the professional user who requires precise, constant information, the A733 addWAVE collects and transmits data at a frequency chosen by the user, with a new, larger internal memory that stores data for 10 days. "Subtle changes in weather and soil conditions can signal the need to begin disease and pest control pest control n → control m de plagas pest control n → lutte f contre les nuisibles pest control pest n operations or irrigation management," said Britta Hubert, Adcon Telemetry's Marketing Vice President. "With the A733 addWAVE, growers and farmers have high quality merchandise that will provide them with accurate information and solar powered stations that are efficient and environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] ." Fast and easy to use, the A733 addWAVE system is based on flash technology that's simple to upgrade, and can be used as a drop-in-replacement for the A730 MD. Many of the parameters can be programmed remotely, including the sampling and slot rate, the average method, and frequency. Sampling accuracy has been improved by nearly fourfold fourfold Adjective 1. having four times as many or as much 2. composed of four parts Adverb by four times as many or as much Adj. 1. , giving users the utmost confidence in the data. The 30-day operating time between charges specifically addresses the needs of commercial growers with extensive acreage in often remote locations. Plus, the 15-mile transmission range covers the needs for the vast majority of users. Extremely energy efficient the A733 addWAVE uses just a quarter of the power of the A730 MD, significantly extending its life between charges. The environmental feature also has been substantially improved. Fully functional in even the most severe weather conditions (-22 to 140 F), the system allows for year-round unattended operation. Cutting-edge technology that can be used in virtually any country gives users dependable, secure data transfer from remote locations. At the same time, the new A733 addWAVE retains all the advantages of the A730 MD, including its probes to simultaneously read air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind, solar radiation solar radiation, n the emission and diffusion of actinic rays from the sun. Overexposure may result in sunburn, keratosis, skin cancer, or lesions associated with photosensitivity. , barometric pressure, leaf or soil moisture, water levels, frost, and conductivity conductivity /con·duc·tiv·i·ty/ (kon?duk-tiv´i-te) the capacity of a body to transmit a flow of electricity or heat; the conductance per unit area of the body. con·duc·tiv·i·ty n. 1. . Just like its successful predecessor, the A733 is a solar-powered sensing station that transmits vital data via radio waves Radio waves Electromagnetic energy of the frequency range corresponding to that used in radio communications, usually 10,000 cycles per second to 300 billion cycles per second. and makes recommendations on the most effective applications for irrigation management, water management, and disease control. Founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1992, Adcon develops and markets advanced digital radio-based systems for a wide range of industries. In addition to the wireless irrigation management service, Adcon provides technology for early disease forecasting in crops and wireless weather station that alerts agricultural growers to any extreme changes in climate that could influence their seeds development.
