CT16-Rotate is an sixtheen-channel telemetry system designed
for easy mounting onto rotating parts such as automobile / trucks
wheels, helicopter or windmill rotor to provide non-contact
transmission of measured parameters such as pressure, force,
temperature, acceleration and voltage.
Sensors inputs are connected via screw on, waterproof
connectors. Measured values are prepared in analog format, digitized
and transmitted via radio frequencies. Four different carrier
frequencies are provided, this allows up to four systems (e.g. for
four wheels) to operate in parallel. The complete transmitter
assembly is waterproofed to IP65 specifications.
The following sensors can be connected to the system: (STG)
Strain gages sensors in full-, half- and quarter-bridge
configuration (350 ohm or greater), Type K Thermocouples to 1000°C,
ICP and capacitive sensors. Voltage inputs of +/-5V and +/-10V are
available.
The measured values are processed and output as +/-5V analog
signals at the BNC sockets (optional digital output for special PCM
interface into a PC) on the stationary receiver located in a vehicle
or helicopter cabin.
Resolution
of 12 bit is standard; this enables an amplitude dynamic of 72 dB.
The analog signal bandwidth 16 x 0-375Hz (-3dB) with 320kbit
transmitter. The measurement accuracy is +/-0.5 % (without sensor).
The CT16-Rotate is suited for operation at ambient temperatures of
-20 to +70°C. The transmission distance between transmitter and
receiving antenna is of the order of 250 m (750 feet) - depend of
application!
