The IP datalogger iRIS Under Cover has been designed and constructed for use in harsh outdoor and industrial environments. It is compact, cost effective and easily configured, with support for a wide range of instrumentation. The compact unit facilitates installation within HyQuest Solutions’ raingauge enclosures. The single communication slot supports either a wireless 3G or 4G modem. SDI-12 is an optional feature.
The iRIS Under Cover provides a Wi-Fi hotspot that enables access to the device wirelessly (max. range of 80 m in clear line of sight and a strong signal from the connected device) using HyQuest Solutions' free-of-charge iLink software (Windows, Android). iLink helps configuring the logger, editing and checking settings and calibrations for QA/QC, performing real-time diagnostics to resolve technical issues, and downloading data. The optional HydroTel™ software can be used for remote configuration and data downloading.
iRIS Under Cover provides 40 free-format alarms that can be assigned to any of the 20 virtual sensors. When an alarm is activated, the logger performs actions like sending SMS alerts, adjusting the log rate, controlling digital output, controlling the frequency of the telemetry call-in, etc.

  • IP 65 (pending testing)
  • Low power consumption
  • Battery operated and solar charged
  • Up to 20 virtual sensors
  • Non-volatile memory
  • Local wireless configuration and data download
  • Real-time clock: High accuracy, backed by on-board lithium battery to prevent loss of date/time

The physical size of the iRIS Under Cover allows for mounting within HyQuest Solutions’ Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges for measuring rainfall and precipitation in urban and rural locations. Based on this combination, HyQuest Solutions offers the complete turnkey rain monitoring and reporting system RainTrak. Please ask for details.

The iRIS Under Cover is suitable for

  • Data Acquisition
  • Hydrometric Stations
  • Automatic Weather Stations
  • Environmental Monitoring
  • Agrometeorological Monitoring


Pro Version

iRIS Under Cover’s Pro version enhances the standard version by an additional digital I/O, an additional analogue output, Modbus, and a SDI-12 bus for versatile applications.
