AlgaeConnect™ turnkey systems components
HubBox and Wireless Gateway
The HubBox is the central server of the system. It runs the AlgaeConnect™ software and communicates wirelessly with the SPARC Control boxes via the Wireless Gateway. Each HubBox can communicate with up to 12 SPARC devices for a total of up to 120 sensed and controlled parameters. HubBoxes can be connected to remotely from tablets or phones within the network to view all parameters in real time as you walk around the ponds or PBRs. Locate the HubBox indoors or in a cabinet. Wireless range can be expanded with ALS-REP1 repeaters.
SPARC Control Boxes
AlgaeConnect™ wireless SPARC boxes are waterproof, heat tolerant, rugged control units that are mounted at the pond or PBR. Each box has 4 dual sensor input ports and 2 solid state relays, either DC or AC. They communicate using autonomous wireless system with the HubBox. They are independent of the HubBox, and will continue to implement control algorithms such as CO2 control even when the HubBox is turned off. These boxes are rugged, lightweight, low power, and can be easily mounted to walls, posts, or cabinets
Sensors and Control Modules
Choose from a wide variety of high grade sensors optimized for the demands of algae growing: pH, temperature, DO, nitrate, ammonium, algae density, light, flow rate, liquid level. \nOur sensors come in various technologies: chemical, optical, galvanic, autoclavable, ultrasonic, and various mounting types and sizes. Our control modules can interface to just about any of your electrical devices and nclude relays, PWM circuits, and analog outputs
Field proven and full featured
Peace of Mind
Instantly set up alerts for when any parameter gets out of its optimal range. You will get a text with a description of the problem and the timing of the event.
Remote Access
Directly access the AlgaeConnect™ software from your tablet or phone as you walk around the farm.
Rich Graphing
AlgaeConnect (TM) stores all your sensor and control data for months. View any parameter with rich interactive graphs

“We are very happy with our recent purchase of an AlgaeConnect system for use on a set of large outdoor raceway ponds. The plug and play probes, HubBox and Sparc boxes are easy to install and clean, as well as being rugged & waterproof in outdoor conditions. The system has given hassle-free wireless connectivity for 8 ponds over a distance of 70+ meters. The software is easy and intuitive to use, and live data and historical trends can be accessed from any device either on or off-site. Thanks to Chris and his team who have provided excellent and responsive support.”
