Wireless
Radio Telemetry Instrumentation Range Extended
The T24 license-free system of wireless radio telemetry instrumentation, available from Aptifirst, has been extended by the addition of three new data acquistion transceiver modules. The T24-TA is a temperature acquisition module which operates with a platinum resistance sensor; the T24-RA is designed to transmit signals from a potentiometric device such as a linear or rotary potentiometer, and the T24-PA operates with pulse signals.
ThisThe T24 Radio Telemetry System is a very versatile, fast, and precise method of acquiring data from difficult applications. It is ideally suited to laboratory and prototype use, with an open-air range typically of up to120 metres using the integral aerial, although other aerial options are available. The system has been design with economical power consumption in mind, and there is a selection of modules for digital input and output, serial output, computer base stations, displays, printing, analogue output, as well as two hand-held receivers and indicators.
Roy Carter, Managing Director of Aptifirst, opined, The T24 system is a very powerful, adaptable and expandable means of instrumenting moving objects or pieces of equipment located remotely or where hard wiring would be difficult or expensive to install. The wide choice of data acquisition, signal conditioning, display and output modules available make it a veritable pick and mix way of tailoring exactly the instrumentation package needed to achieve specific results speedily. Of course, Aptifirst still has many other instrumentation options, should radio telemetry not be suited to a particular job, we have a gamut of sensors for measuring most parameter types, and we are always happy to look at customising equipment to suit.
