Introduction
The T24-TA temperature acquisition module is a high
performance PCB designed for the collection and
processing of temperature related measurements. The
wireless acquisition module requires an external
platinum temperature sensor (Pt100).
Data is provided in real time at variable speeds with a
direct line of sight range of 100 or 200 meters dependant
on integral or external antenna type which can be
extended further with the use of high gain antenna’s and
repeaters.
The module measures temperature and periodically
transmits it. Between transmissions the device is
optionally put in a power saving sleep mode to conserve
batteries.
The module transmits to a range of receivers including
handheld indicators, digital displays, analogue and serial
outputs, PC display and wireless printer (please see
separate sheets) and has various powering options.
Miniature in size, the device transmits on license-free
2.4Ghz, avoiding local radio interference to ensure data
integrity and security.
Also available in IP rated enclosures.
