The Zydax Difference

We want to change the way you think about environmental monitoring. In the past environmental monitoring was difficult and expensive. Zydax sensors reduce cost and complexity, so that even small organizations can reap the benefits of quality real time environmental monitoring.

Zydax intelleigent sensors are a complete package. When a Zydax sensor or system is purchased, it comes with everything necessary to communicate with it directly with a personal computer (PC) or remotely with the integral modem. Other communications methods are available, contact Zydax for details. Once communications are established, data collection begins immediately.

Zydax products are easily installed, easy to use, and easy to integrate with existing systems if necessary. Each sensor is built with high-quality, direct-burial, UV-rated cable. The Zydax Data Collection Program (ZDCP) software has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it is both powerful and easy to use. Our combination of open protocol and/or NTCIP output with the ZDCP software makes it easy to use Zydax sensors and systems with your existing information infrastructure or as a stand-alone system.

Zydax intelligent sensors offer unrivaled performance, accuracy, flexibility, usability, expandability and value in a complete package. Zydax intelligent sensors make it possible for you to use environmental monitoring in new and innovative ways.

Zydax provides high quality, fully guaranteed, intelligent sensors that never require calibration.

Our quality can't be beat &mdash our value can't be matched.

Unique Value

At Zydax we utilize the latest technology to make our sensors powerful and flexible resulting in great value and great prices.

Zydax sensors do not require the use of an expensive RPU system. Our flexible design allows Zydax sensors to be used with off-the-shelf PC hardware, data-loggers or RPU systems.

Our free software, the Zydax Data Collection Program (ZDCP), will allow you collect and view data from multiple sensors. We also offer an enhanced edition of the ZDCP that provides additional features, such as automatic call out.

Innovative Design

Our patented technologies deliver powerful, flexible products at great prices. Some examples are:

  • No RPU required: Zydax sensors are designed to work well with common-off-the-shelf computer hardware, data loggers and specialized RWIS hardware.
  • Easy installation: Unless otherwise specified, our sensors ship with direct-burial cabling. That frees you from any need to hassle with time-consuming and expensive conduit installation.
  • Easy integration: Our sensors use an open, text-based communications protocol. Our ZDCP software writes logfiles in a format that is designed to be easy to work with.
  • Digital transmission: All Zydax sensors send digital signals. Digital technology allows our sensors to be robust against interference and allows for cable lengths of up to 4000 feet (over 1200 meters).
  • Free software: Zydax offers the Zydax Data Collection Program for data logging and sensor configuration. The ZDCP can communicate with Zydax sensors via a local serial port or via modem. The ZDCP Enhanced Edition offers even more great features. With ZDCP Enhanced users can easily create on screen reports to simplify the display of data from large numbers of sensors. ZDCP enhanced also allows users to set up automated notification for customizable alarm conditions.

Open Protocols

Integration is a necessary and important requirement. Zydax provides full documentation for communication protocols for all sensors manufactured.

Many sensors utilize proprietary, complex, binary formats that make system integration difficult. Zydax sensors utilize an easy to understand, documented plain-text protocol. This simple protocol allows our sensors to integrate easily with any data logging system from a personal computer to a RWIS. NTCIP protocol is also available for any Zydax site.
