Receiver Interface
The wireless receiver is used in conjunction with the wireless Load Sensor. It provides the user with an easy way to receive and output data from the Load Sensor. Enclosed in a hardwearing aluminium box the receiver is suitable to be installed into environments where it may be subjected to harsh conditions.
The receiver is easy to install as it only requires DC power to be supplied to the unit. An SMA connector allows the use of an external antenna.
The receiver outputs a string of data from the Load Sensor which includes: Serial number, full scale, Load, Temperature, RSSI and battery voltage. The data is constantly outputted from the receiver straight from "power on" as long as the Load Sensor is in range. The output can be provided as either RS232, RS422, USB or Analog. This provides the functionality of being able to send the data over a longer distance if the receiver was to be in a remote location. The interface is suitable for applications where no user interaction is needed and data is fed into a data logger or remote display. An internal memory with real time clock is available for stand alone applications which may be interrogated from a PC.
Key Benefits:
- Small Footprint (133mm x 67mm x 43.5mm)
- Receives data up to a distance of 100M
- Receives data at 10 times a second
- Minimal startup time
- Very simple installation
- Operates on 2.4GHz licence free band
