Wireless Telemetry Potentiometer Acquisition Module (T24-RA)

The T24-RA radio potentiometer acquisition module is a high performance wireless device designed for the collection and processing of resistance related measurements. The module measures resistance and periodically transmits it. Between transmissions the device is optionally placed in a power saving sleep mode to conserve batteries.

Miniature in size, the string pot device transmits on license-free 2.4Ghz, avoiding local radio interference to ensure data integrity and security.

Data is provided in real time at variable speeds with a direct line of sight range of 100 or 200 meters which can be extended with the use of high gain antenna’s and repeaters. View our range of antennas here.

The module’s transmit to a range of receivers including handheld indicators, digital displays, analogue and serial outputs, PC display and wireless printer and has various powering options.

Also available in a selection of IP rated enclosures. See T24-ACM-RA, T24-ACMi-RA and T24-ACMm-RA.
