T & D unveils new generation wireless data logging systems
Japanese data-logging market leader T & D has unveiled its latest wireless system , combining improved safety and greater convenience . Designed to record and measure data such as temperature and humidity , the new generation RTR500B series includes data loggers and a range of base stations to ensure the safe , wireless collection of recorded data .
The new system uses T & D ’ s proven short-range wireless communication for logger to base transmission , and the RTR-500B series is also compatible with HTTPS – an encrypted communication feature that ensures superior security . Furthermore , users can register devices and adjust settings not only from a PC , but also a smartphone or via the cloud for greater flexibility and convenience .
The wireless communication range between base and remote units , if unobstructed and direct , is about 150 metres ( 500ft ). However , repeaters can be easily added for an even greater range across a variety of environments . And when used in conjunction with RTR-500BC repeaters , the base unit will automatically select the best route for stable , wireless communication .
By adding the base unit to the free cloudbased T & D WebStorage facility , recorded data can be automatically uploaded , managed and accessed anytime , anywhere . Automated data collection is carried out using a robust wireless communications protocol .
The devices in the new RTR500B Series are compatible with the earlier RTR-500 series , but also have additional Bluetooth function . This means mobile devices can be used for data logger and base station registration , and to adjust settings .
