Our flexible, weekly hire service gives you immediate access to industry-standard data logging technology without the capital expense. Whether you need to cover a short-term monitoring gap, conduct a temporary site assessment, or expand an existing field trial, our fleet of fully tested, rugged DataTaker units is ready for rapid deployment.
The dataTaker series is renowned for its universal input capability, allowing you to connect almost any sensor type—voltage, current, 4-20mA loops, thermocouples, RTDs, and strain gauges—directly to a single unit without external signal conditioning.
To help you choose the right instrument for your specific project scale, we offer three core variations from our hire stock:
DataTaker DT82i: The ideal compact choice for localised or lower-channel applications. It features 2 isolated or 6 single-ended universal analogue channels alongside dedicated digital inputs, making it perfect for small industrial test cells, environmental research, or space-constrained enclosures.
DataTaker DT80: The standard powerhouse for general industrial, environmental, and structural engineering. Offering 5 isolated or up to 15 single-ended universal inputs, the DT80 handles mid-sized sensor arrays with ease, balancing advanced modbus communications with robust field reliability.
DataTaker DT85: Designed for high-density sensor applications. Equipped with 16 isolated or up to 48 single-ended universal inputs, this unit is built for extensive monitoring setups like large thermal profiling, geotechnical arrays, or multi-point infrastructure monitoring.
| Model | Analogue Inputs (Isolated / Single-Ended) | Best Suited For |
| DT82i | 2 to 6 Channels | Small-scale projects, tight spaces, decentralised logging. |
| DT80 | 5 to 15 Channels | Mid-scale industrial testing, environmental monitoring, core R&D. |
| DT85 | 16 to 48 Channels | Large infrastructure trials, comprehensive thermal mapping, complex sensor webs. |
Why hire from Omni Instruments? Every unit leaves our facility fully inspected, updated to the latest firmware, and ready to interface with your sensors. Our engineering team can also pre-configure the logger’s internal program to match your exact wiring schedule before dispatch, minimising your setup time on site.
