You've encountered this challenge, over and over -- the time and the expense of running wires makes it difficult to measure parameters that have an economic impact on your plant operation. If only you could gather process information quickly and easily, you know the savings you could achieve!
Developed by Accutech, a division of Adaptive Instruments Corp., these robust products are truly wireless. And, right out of the box, they perform in harsh -- even hazardous -- industrial environments.
The implementation
No wires. No permits. No licenses. Configure, start-up and test in the shop. Install in the field.
Your field units communicate in a secure, digital protocol over a band of frequencies from 902 MHz to 928 MHz. This data communication technique has been the backbone of the military's secure communications protocols for many years. It requires no FCC site license. The multiple frequency transmissions, send-receive acknowledgements and built-in data redundancy have proven to be extremely robust.
Update speed is user-settable to match the needs of the application. The "Smart-Update" capability immediately initiates a message when a fault is detected. Otherwise a "Healthy Heartbeat" communication is initiated with the base radio on a regular interval to pass status and any new configuration information.
Range up to 3,000 feet with omni-directional antenna. Other options are available to increase range.
Generally 5 years with factory default update speed and communication parameters.
