Advanced Telemetrics International, Inc (ATI) has formed a partnership with Metromatics Pty Ltd to bring Australia and New Zealand a wireless high-bandwidth telemetry system.
The high-bandwidth telemetry system provides a high-bandwidth link from sensors mounted on rotating shafts, reciprocating rods or other moving machinery to stationary data acquisition and display instruments.
The 2100H series telemetry system is capable of transmitting data with dynamic signal content from DC up to 5 kHz.
These systems are suited for transmitting high-speed data signals from accelerometers, resistance temperature detectors, strain gauges, thermocouples, thermistors, or other current or voltage-type transducer or sensor.
The 2100H series Miniature Transmitters incorporate a crystal oscillator that is tuned to one of 100 possible frequencies in the 900MHz band, eliminating the need for tuning by the end user.
Transmitter frequencies can be staggered allowing multiple transmitters to be operated in close proximity with no interference.
This allows for multi-channel systems or multiple systems to function within the same area.
The transmitter modulates the sensor signals onto a RF carrier and transmits them to a stationary receiver.
Power to the transmitter can be supplied by a nine-volt battery or a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack.
Transmitters incorporate an internal power, temperature and status monitor, which provides constant feedback to the operator via the receiver’s multi function display.
The 2100H Series Receiver demodulates the signal and converts it to a ±2, ±5, and ±10VDC or 4-20mA analogue output.
The wide-band analogue output provides frequency response from DC to 500Hz.
A second optional filtered output, set to any desired frequency, is available for maximum signal stability.
The receivers also remotely control the transmitter’s On or Sleep status and activate the Bipolar Shunt Calibration feature.
An “All” function allows for control of all transmitters in a range from a single receiver.
Transmitters are small enough in size to be taped or strapped to a rotating shaft, or they can be used with a 2100H Series Collar Assembly or Mounting Block.
The collar assembly or mounting block can be designed to clamp or bolt directly to existing shafts or other components, and house the transmitter and battery, as well as an integral transmitting antenna.
ATI is represented in Australia and New Zealand by Metromatics.
