Alibillia ALBILLIA III Waterproof & Humidity-Resistant Data Logger

Overview

The Alibillia ALBILLIA III Waterproof & Humidity-Resistant Data Logger is an industrial-grade environmental monitoring instrument engineered for reliable long-term deployment in high-humidity, condensing, and intermittently submerged field environments—particularly suited for hydrological applications such as riverbank, streambed, and irrigation channel monitoring. Built upon a proven architecture shared with earlier Alibillia loggers, the III model introduces critical mechanical and sealing enhancements: the core electronics are housed within a molded polyamide (PA66) enclosure featuring a transparent, UV-stabilized polycarbonate viewing lid integrated with a low-power reflective LCD display. This assembly is then fully encapsulated inside a certified Peli™ 1000-series ruggedized polymer case—providing impact resistance, chemical resistance, and validated ingress protection. The device operates on 1–2 user-replaceable primary batteries, enabling multi-month autonomous operation without external power. Its measurement principle relies on internal sensor signal conditioning via precision analog-to-digital conversion (16-bit resolution), with time-stamped data stored on removable industrial-grade microSD flash memory. All firmware and configuration are non-volatile and retained during battery replacement.

Key Features

• Ruggedized dual-layer enclosure: Inner polyamide (PA66) electronics housing + outer Peli™ 1000-series case meeting MIL-STD-810G shock/vibration requirements
• IP67-rated sealing system (IEC 60529): Fully protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion up to 1 m for 30 minutes
• Integrated reflective LCD display under transparent polycarbonate lid—visible under direct sunlight, zero power draw when static
• Dual tactile push-button interface—designed for gloved operation and eliminating mechanical wear associated with rotary knobs
• USB 2.0 host interface for rapid flash memory card extraction: full dataset transfer completed in <3 seconds (typical)
• Battery compartment accessible without opening inner electronics housing—minimizing exposure of sensitive circuitry during maintenance
• Firmware supports configurable logging intervals (1 sec to 24 hr), alarm thresholds, and auto-start/stop triggers

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The ALBILLIA III is not a sample-contacting analytical instrument; it functions as an environmental parameter recorder. It is compatible with externally connected sensors conforming to standard 0–5 V, 4–20 mA, or digital (I²C, RS-485) interfaces—enabling integration with temperature, relative humidity, water level, conductivity, and turbidity transducers. All internal electronics comply with CE marking directives (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU), RoHS 2011/65/EU, and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The Peli™ case carries UL 94 HB flammability certification. While not certified for ATEX/IECEx hazardous locations, its sealed architecture meets GLP-aligned field data integrity expectations for environmental reporting under ISO 17025-accredited laboratories.

Software & Data Management

Data retrieval requires connection to a Windows/macOS/Linux host via USB—no proprietary dongle or driver installation is needed. The onboard flash memory appears as a standard mass-storage device. Alibillia provides free, version-controlled desktop software (v3.2+) supporting CSV export, time-series visualization, metadata tagging (location, operator ID, calibration date), and batch processing of multiple logger files. Audit trail functionality logs all configuration changes with timestamps and user identifiers. Raw binary files retain native 16-bit ADC values for traceable post-processing. Software output complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when deployed with organizational electronic signature policies and system access controls.

Applications

• Long-term hydrometric monitoring in flood-prone river corridors where condensation, splashing, and periodic submersion occur
• Microclimate logging inside unheated agricultural greenhouses or outdoor composting facilities with high dew-point variability
• Infrastructure health monitoring: embedded in bridge abutments, culverts, or levee instrumentation packages
• Educational field studies requiring robust, low-maintenance data capture under variable weather exposure
• Regulatory compliance logging for local water authority discharge reporting (e.g., EPA Method 1600 series support)

FAQ

Is the ALBILLIA III suitable for continuous underwater deployment?
No. It is rated IP67—not IP68—meaning it withstands temporary immersion (≤1 m, ≤30 min), but is not designed for permanent submersion.
Can sensor inputs be calibrated in-field without returning to the lab?
Yes. The device supports two-point linear calibration via software using reference standards; calibration coefficients are stored securely in non-volatile memory.
Does the logger support real-time telemetry or wireless transmission?
No. It is a standalone, offline recorder. Wireless capability requires external gateway integration (e.g., LoRaWAN or NB-IoT add-on modules sold separately).
What is the expected battery life at 15-minute logging intervals?
Typical endurance is 8–12 months with two AA lithium primary cells (Energizer L91), assuming ambient temperatures between −10 °C and +50 °C.
Is the Peli™ case customizable with mounting hardware or cable glands?
Yes. Standard 1000-series accessory kits—including stainless steel strap mounts, bulkhead feedthroughs, and desiccant plugs—are available through authorized Alibillia distributors.
