WTS Wireless Telemetry Inclinometer-1

WTS Inclinometer All-weather radio telemetry Inclinometer system Advanced MEMS inclinometer design for ultra-reliability and performance Distortion free digital 2 way radio system for data integrity Very low power consumption for long battery life Worldwide licence exempt 2.4 GHz radio Remote power on/off (sleep/wake) 100 metre (328 feet) range Rechargeable or Alkaline Battery Options Stainless Steel sealed construction for all weather use WTS Wireless Inclinometer The WTS Wireless Inclinometer is a flexible, all-weather radio telemetry system designed to provide high accuracy remote angle measurement data. The WTS enables surveyors, geotechnical specialists and structural engineers to record and log data remotely without the cost and impracticality of traditional wired methods. The WTS Wireless Tilt System operates on licence free, worldwide 2.4GHz and although other equipment uses this frequency, the WTS uses a proprietary protocol based on an 804.15.4 chip. This allows the WTS to co-exist with Bluetooth, Zigbee and WiFi devices without conflict. The heart of the system is the WTS Wireless Inclinometer; a high-accuracy robust instrument utilising advanced MEMS sensor technology to ensure maximum reliability. A variety of complementary base stations and either PC or handheld data acquisition modules is offered to allow a complete measurement system to be configured to suit any particular application. Backed by Sherborne Sensors’ comprehensive 2-year warranty the WTS Wireless Tilt System may be specified and used with confidence throughout the world.

WTS Wireless Telemetry Inclinometer-7

WTS-BSU Base Station The WTS-BSU is a simple USB device. It draws power from the USB bus and therefore no further components are required to control remote devices from a PC. WTS-BSI Base Station The WTS-BSI is the industrial base station, housed in an IP65 standard enclosure. This device offers far more interface options for a user. The WTS-BSI can be powered and controlled using a single USB interface; however the WTS-BSI also has serial RS232 and RS485 interfaces at baud rates of 9600-460800. When using either of the serial interfaces the device must be powered externally. Sherborne Sensors...
