READ-24 (channels)

The new peripheral unit READ-24 is a compact device
specifically developed for harsh environment, especially where reliable and long-life data loggers are
needed.
Employment of high-reliability relays with extremely
high levels of insulation resistance allows use in areas
subjected to severe storms and/or electric discharge.

This modulus is part of a more complex system
composed of other modulus types which can
be managed by a personal computer or an
embedded PC, a UMTS modem, or a combination of PC and modem for remote connection.
READ-24’s intrinsic factor is its extremely low power
consumption which is its main advantage. The electronics for acquisition and storage functions are normally switched off and activated only at pre-set acquisition intervals.
Pre-set operation parameters for each channel are:

Sensor type
Min/max alert thresholds
Measuring unit
Zero-offset
Measuring range
Each reading cycle is identified by date/hour notation.
The unit has a modular configuration consisting of 24
analogical channels.

Different configurations allow a cascade connection
on the same serial line up to 56 units for a total of 1344
measuring channels.
The basic configuration consists of a master modulus
connected to a computer or a Linux PC or a modem
where a specifically developed software reads and
stores the data.
When more than 24 channels are requested up to 7
slave modules can be added to the master unit so to
increase the number of channels up to 192 for each
master group.
Each data acquisition device is identified by a digital
address set up by a combination of deep switches
from the master unit.
The device can be connected to a UMTS modem for
immediate access to data and download readings
from a remote site for real-time control.
12Vdc is supplied by a 220V/12V transformer unit or, in
case of lack of main power system, by long-life batteries or solar panel with back-up battery and accessories.
The READ-24 is supplied with casings in different materials all suitable for external use and are waterproof,
switchboards may be in fibreglass, polyester, metal or
in portable casings if requested.
Tailor-made solutions can be supplied at the Client’s
request.
