Sensors
The AVW216 Vibrating Wire Spectrum Analyzer Module allows our dataloggers to measure vibrating-wire strain gages, pressure transducers, piezometers, tiltmeters, crackmeters, and load cells.
Communications
The AVW216's internal spread spectrum radio can transmit data to other AVW216 interfaces, RF416 spread spectrum radios, and RF432 spread spectrum radios. The AVW216 does not have a transparent mode, and therefore its internal radio cannot communicate with the RF415 radio.

Datalogger Notes:
**The CR5000, CR10(X), and CR23X support the SDI-12 mode only.
Enclosure Considerations
The AVW216 requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment. A Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended when the interface is in the field. The AVW216 has built-in keyhole flanges for mounting to an enclosure backplate.

Enclosure Notes:
*If using the RS-232 port, the AVW216 must be mounted flat to fit in an ENC10/12, ENC10/12R, or ENC12/14.
Power Considerations
The AVW216 is typically powered by the datalogger's power supply.
