Wireless Sensor Converter for Strain Gauge Sensors - T24-ACMi

This rugged wireless sensor module provides high performance wireless measurement of strain gauge, pressure, load cell, linear displacement and other 4 wire bridge sensors. Providing direct mV/V input and 5V bridge excitation for up to 4 load cells, the module is now also available with pulse, potentiometer or temperature inputs.

The enclosure provides protective water-proofing with fitting for 2 x alkaline AA batteries and simple screw field terminals for easy wiring to a variety of sensors. The low power electronics offer exceptional battery life in the field by ‘powering down’ between transmissions or ‘powering off’ completely. Modules can last several years on 2 x alkaline AA batteries or alternatively powered from 2 x NiMH or 1 x 3V Lithium.

The high accuracy, low noise measurement electronics deliver high resolution, low drift results which can be user calibrated over 9 points to enable linearization and to deliver results in user definable engineering units. The results can be transmitted at rates of up to 200 per second to other wireless telemetry T24 devices such as handheld displays, analogue outputs and base stations etc.

The module is configured and calibrated (either by applying known inputs or by table entry) using free T24 Toolkit software which runs on a PC connected to a T24 base station.

For use with wireless sensor network the module offers a range of up to 200m (650ft) in open field site.

The license free 2.4GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology offers high integrity, error free communications which can co-exist with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Zigbee®. FCC, ETSI and IC approvals.
