INTRODUCING HYDROTECHNIK UK’S HTUK WATCHLOG
Hydrotechnik are proud to announce
their new Wireless Data Monitoring and
Acquisition system, designed for continuous
measurement and monitoring of critical
machinery, processes and systems. Rapid
deployment, long transmission distances
and stability of signals make this system easy
to install and specify when wired options
present problems.
The HTUK Watchlog wireless send and receive
system is designed for continuous monitoring
and logging of multiple pressure and
temperature sensors over distances of 800m
and/or 1.6Km.
HTUK Watchlog represents a huge step
in the provision of a secure point to point
wireless transmission of sensor signals.
Hydrotechnik pressure transducers and/
or temperature sensors fitted with HTUK
sender boxes are powered by two standard
AA batteries giving up to 2 years of life, even
when used continuously. A huge range of
pressure sensors are available from 0 - 60
Bar up to 0 - 600 Bar and -50°C - +200°C
temperature probes (more sensor ranges are
also available). Up to 100 sensors can sit on
the same system.
Sensor signals are beamed to a single receiver
box, plugged into a PC via a USB cable.
Sensors and receivers can be up to 800m
away. If longer distances are required we
offer a repeater/booster box that can increase
wireless transmission distances up to 1.6Km.
Distances are suitable for industrial building/
164
PECM Issue 38
site applications. The booster box can be solar
powered to give continuous service if mains
power is not available.
Each set up can handle up to 100 sensors
per system. All sensors talk to a single
wireless receiver and Watchlog software.
Data is displayed numerically or graphically.
Alarm levels can also be set for each channel
individually, both a pre-warning and critical
alarm. Alarms can also be set to start logging
data numerically or graphically to record
events.
The software can be used to wake and sleep
each sensor or all sensors at the same time.
All sensors are individually calibrated and set
up via an easy to use software. The software
sets up the sampling and transmission
frequency to adjust the accuracy/stability of
readings as well as optimising battery life.
Cloud integration will follow shortly which
will give engineers alerts via text message and
the ability to login remotely to check on the
status of their equipment.
COMPONENTS OF A SYSTEM
1. Pressure & Temperature Sensors
Sensors connected to the HTUK Watchlog
technology wirelessly beam readings to the
receiver with a 5ms up to 1 minute sample
time. Each system is capable of handling up to
100 sensors simultaneously.
2. Receiver Box & PC Software
The receiver decodes the sensor data and
displays it on a PC screen up to 800m away.
Display and log data, set alarms, cloud
integration
3. Booster Box
An intermediate booster box can extend the
range of the wireless signal by an additional
800m, totalling 1.6km distance. The booster
box can be solar powered if mains supply is
not available.
