HYDRAULICS Hydrotechnik has launched a 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. Huge step Hydrotechnik believes HTUK Watchlog represents a huge step in the provision of a secure point to point wireless transmission of sensor signals. The company’s 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 wide range of pressure sensors are available from 0 - 60 Bar up to 0 - 600 Bar and -50degC - +200degC 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, Hydrotechnik offers a repeater/booster box that can increase wireless transmission distances up to 1.6Km. Distances are suitable for industrial building/site applications. The booster box can be solar powered to give continuous Hydrotechnik UK launches HTUK Watchlog 30 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS March 2019 www.hpmag.co.uk
