BPL Pedal Load Cell and BTS Bluetooth Telemetry System

BrakePedal Bluetooth System

The BPL Pedal Load Cell paired with the BTS Bluetooth® Telemetry System delivers precise, wireless pedal force measurement. The compact load cell captures high-accuracy data, while the BTS transmits it in real time to mobile devices ideal for simulation, testing, and remote monitoring without the need for physical connections.

  • BPL Pedal Load Cell:
    • Lowest nonlinearity and hysteresis of any brake pedal load cell – < 0.05%
    • Ultra low height
    • Low sensitivity to off-axis loads
    • Mounts directly to pedal with included strap(s)
    • Interchangeable mounting plates
    • For use with gas, brake or clutch pedal
    • Storage case included
  • BTS Bluetooth Telemetry System:
    • High Measurement Resolution: BTS-AM-1 can produce a noise free resolution of 1 in 92000 counts (16.5 bit) when used with a 3mV/V sensor and 1 in 184,000 counts (17.5 bit) when used with a 6mV/V sensor.
    • Simple Integration into iOS and Android Apps: Advert format and encoding as well as details on connected services are available to facilitate integration of the device within custom apps for OEM applications.
    • Range: Ranges achievable between 30 to 90 m line of sight depending on age and quality of viewing device.
    • Advanced Protection: Configuration PIN, View PIN and Calibration PIN allow you to take control of your end users experience and prevent any unwanted changes in configuration that can compromise measurement quality.

Applications:

  • Automotive Testing
  • Aerospace

BTS Bluetooth Telemetry System

4-Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Strain Bridge Transmitter Module

The BTS-AM-1 is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) strain bridge transmitter module that provides access to high quality measurements on a mobile platform such as a phone or tablet.
The delivery mechanism is BLE which utilizes the flexibility and availability of Bluetooth receivers while maintaining the low power requirements of embedded systems. BTS is built upon two complimentary principles of BLE: 1) broadcast advertising data which enables users to deliver the same data to multiple receivers simultaneously and 2) low power paired connections which can be used in a point to point system.
A free iOS and Android app is available for download, which enables users to create dashboards with varying degrees of detail based on application requirements. It enables BTS systems to be visualized on phones and tablets by using digital displays, gages, tanks and charts. Displayed data can be defined as mathematical expressions consisting of readings from multiple transmitters, functions and constants. The app also facilitates BTS module configuration and calibration.

Features & Benefits

  • USB outputs
  • 4 independent channels
  • For use with model 3AXX series 3-axis load cells
  • Can be used with up to any 4 standard load cells (with mV/V output)

System Level Calibration

Interface strongly recommends requesting a system-level calibration when purchasing a force measurement sensor with instrumentation. This final step ensures the sensor and instrumentation are properly calibrated and functioning together before leaving Interface.
