“This has been another customer driven development for Mantracourt,” said Kelly Voysey, Sales and Marketing Manager at Mantracourt. “This type of wireless instrumentation is enabling our customers to accommodate temporary installations or to use instrumentation in locations where it would be difficult to use a fixed wired system.”
UK based Mantracourt is a leading manufacturer of industrial measurement technologies and a world leader in the design and manufacture of electronics for measurement technologies, including strain gauge, temperature, resistance, pressure, voltage, current, potentiometer, rate, flow, LVDT and displacement in either analogue, digital or wireless form.
The wind speed sensor features a high quality 3-cup rotor pressed on a stainless steel shaft with rugged Delrin body with bronze Rulon bushings. The output value of the anemometer can be calibrated and configured to the user’s requirements and can measure over the range 5 to 125 mph. It will ‘power down’ between transmissions to maximise battery life in the field and has a wireless range of up to 200 metres.
The Mantracourt T24 wireless telemetry range is a flexible low power radio system designed to enable the transmission of high accuracy measurement data from load cells, inclinometers, accelerometers, temperature, displacement and pressure sensors. With a combination of transmitter and receiver technologies, engineers are able to remotely monitor instrumentation readings.
The T24-WSS is factory set to sample the anemometer every 5 seconds; running continuously, the batteries in the module will last 1 month and 11 days (based on Duracell LR20 D Cells). Using a handheld, T24-RDC or other peripheral T24 device to wake and sleep the module will extend the battery life further. The sample frequency can also be increased however this will have an effect on the battery life.
