WTS-AM-3 Wireless 4-20 mA Transmitter Module
The pricing listed on our website is only for U.S. buyers and all pricing is subject to change without notice. Any inquiries for products from buyers outside of the U.S. will receive a quote and availability from the licensed distributor nearest your region. These prices will be based on product availability, currency conversions, markets, taxes, shipping costs, as well as local support.
The WTS-AM-3 transmitter module connects to 4-20 mA conditioned sensors such as pressure, %RH, inclinometer, accelerometer, depth, vibration, temperature and flow. It forms part of the WTS modular telemetry system. The data transmitted by the WTS-AM-3 can be received by multiple WTS receivers that include displays, handheld readers, analog outputs, relay modules and computer interfaces.
WTS transmitters have been designed for battery operation and support an ultra low-power sleep mode whilst offering class leading wireless coverage and range. Configurable transmission rates from once per day to 200 per second cope with a wide range of measurement and monitoring applications. A choice of enclosures enabling battery connection, field connectivity and environmental sealing up to IP67 ensure these modules provide a flexible solution to your wireless sensor requirements.
The WTS-AM-3 provides 5 V excitation to power external sensors. This transmitter provides up to nine point linearization giving quality measurements from a wide range of sensors.

Attach power supply wiring to the module as shown below:
This module is not reverse polarity protected!
The maximum voltage is 3.6 V!
For battery information please refer to Appendix D – Battery Selection in the WTS Telemetry User Manual.
Voltage input connected as follows:
Power can be supplied by fitting two D cell alkaline 1.5 V batteries or the module can be supplied from an external 5 Vdc to 18 Vdc source.
In both cases you need to fit the JP1 power jumper to supply power to the transmitter module.
When powered from the external DC source the LED will illuminate.
The strain gauge input is connected to the module via a 2 part screw terminal block.
