Device Extends Wireless Sensor System

Oct. 2, 2010
The Wireless Sender is designed as an extension to the vendor’s Wireless Sensing System and communicates with a Base Station, which acts as a coordinator for an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network. 
The Sender has a number of sensing inputs and will transmit sensor data at regular intervals to the Base Station for conversion to process system outputs and alarms. The Sender sensor inputs include four discrete inputs and one analog resistive input or a 4-20mA current loop analog input. Wireless communication between the Sender and Base Station uses the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in the 2.4GHz ISM radio band, providing a range of up to 4km under ideal conditions. The Sender is housed in an ABS enclosure with an external antenna and cable glands for power and signal inputs. The unit can be powered by an internal 3.6V Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery or externally by a 5VDC mains-powered wall adaptor.Deeter Electronics Inc.www.deeterelectronicsinc.com330.630.3510
