Mantracourt T24-RA wireless potentiometer module

Mantracourt has announced the release of its wireless telemetry potentiometer acquisition module.

The T24-RA wireless potentiometer module is designed for the collection and processing of potentiometer related measurements such as provided by a linear displacement transducer. The module calculates resistance and periodically transmits it to a remote receiver. Between transmissions, the device is optionally put into a power saving sleep mode to conserve batteries.

The Mantracourt T24 wireless telemetry range is a flexible low-power radio system designed to enable the transmission of high accuracy measurement data from load cells, inclinometers, accelerometers, temperature, displacement and pressure sensors. With a combination of transmitter and receiver technologies, engineers are able to remotely monitor instrumentation readings.

Miniature in size, the device transmits on licence-free 2.4 Ghz, avoiding local radio interference, to ensure data integrity and security. The module can transmit to a range of receivers including handheld indicators, digital displays, analog and serial outputs, PC display and wireless printer and it has various powering options. Data is provided in real time at variable speeds with a direct line of sight range of 100 or 200 m which can be extended with the use of high gain antennae and repeaters.

The T24-RA potentiometer measuring device is also available in a PCB version for OEM integration.
