Many antenna options provide flexible mounting and signal optimization for diverse application needs. Here are more details about these accessories and receivers.

Wireless Telemetry Antenna

The WTS Telemetry Antenna WTS-ANTA, WTS-ANTB, and WTS-ANTC can be integrated with any WTS module that is factory fitted with UFL antenna connectors (such as the acquisition modules’ external antenna options). Options also exist for antennas to be fitted to other modules within the WTS range.

 

• WTS-ANTA is a PCB antenna designed to be fitted inside a plastic enclosure. Cable length is 100 mm (4 in) UFL-UFL.
• WTS-ANTB is a whip antenna with a fixed 90-degree elbow designed for mounting externally. Cable length 100 mm (4 in) UFL – Reversed SMA. IP67 rated.
• WTS-ANTC is a whip antenna with a variable angled elbow for external mounting. Cable length 100 mm (4 in) UFL – Reversed SMA. IP67 rated.
• WTS-ANTD is a ‘puck’ antenna designed for external mounting. It is suitable for applications requiring a low physical profile and high gain. It is fitted with a 0.6 m (2 ft) cable and RPSMA connector and supplied with a 100 mm (4 in) RPSMA to UFL adaptor cable. It is IP69K rated.
• WTS-ANTE is a ‘puck’ antenna designed for external mounting. It is suitable for applications requiring a low physical profile and high gain. It is fitted with a 100 mm (4 in) cable and UFL connector and has an environmental rating of IP69K.

Wireless Telemetry Plug and Play Dongle Base Station

The WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station is the smallest in our base station range and offers a line-of-sight range of up to 500 m (1,640 ft) for all wireless telemetry modules. It draws power from the USB bus, so no further components are required to configure and control remote devices from a PC. This plug-and-play USB base station provides a portable solution, with no cables, making it ideal for laptops and tablets that run a full version of Windows.

 

Wireless Repeater Module

The WTS-AR Wireless Repeater Module allows WTS telemetry system modules to span around obstacles and increase range and coverage by retransmitting received messages. Multiple receivers, such as displays, handheld readers, analog outputs, relay modules, and computer interfaces, can utilize the data sent by transmitter modules. The WTS-AR is housed in an IP67-rated enclosure that accepts two D batteries and an external power supply. The repeater enables messages to be repeated once, extending the achievable wireless range.

Wireless Telemetry Printer

The WTS-PR1 Wireless Telemetry Printer is a thermal printer module that generates a user-defined ticket containing live values and the sum of up to eight WTS transmitters. It forms part of the WTS modular telemetry system. The data sent by transmitter modules can be utilized by multiple receivers, such as displays, handheld readers, analog outputs, relay modules, and computer interfaces. Receivers support standard industrial power supplies with internal antennas optimized to give outstanding coverage.

The printout can be triggered by the arrival of data from a specific or handheld module. The WTS Toolkit software offers a fast and simple way to configure the ticket format and to choose the associated transmitter modules.

Wireless LED Displays

The WTS-LD1 Wireless Large LED Display provides the user with a large-format four-digit display capable of displaying individual WTS transmitted values or the summed value of up to eight modules. The data sent by transmitter modules can be utilized by multiple receivers, such as displays, handheld readers, analog outputs, relay modules, and computer interfaces.

The WTS-LD2 Wireless Large LED Display provides the user with a large-format six-digit display that displays individual WTS transmitted values or the summed value of up to eight modules. Multiple receivers, such as displays, handheld readers, analog outputs, relay modules, and computer interfaces, can utilize the data sent by transmitter modules. Receivers support standard industrial power supplies and are available in robust IP-rated enclosures with internal antennas optimized to give outstanding coverage.

Using the WTS Toolkit software and a USB base station, the user can quickly and easily select and configure the associated transmitter modules. The WTS Toolkit also provides configuration of the display format and zero functions. Further wired Logic Inputs allow users to control the Tare and Net/Gross toggle functions remotely.

Wireless Wind Speed Transmitter Module

The WTS-WSS Wireless Wind Speed Transmitter Module provides high-accuracy measurement and offers a quick and effective solution for monitoring wind speeds in various applications and industries. The WTS-WSS uses a low-power mode between transmissions to maximize battery life in the field while offering a class-leading wireless coverage range of up to 800 m (2,625 ft).

The Anemometer features a high-quality 3-cup rotor in a rugged enclosure, providing rolling average wind speeds between 5 and 125 mph. It will also measure gusts at user-defined periods of 1, 3, 5, or 10 seconds. Wind speed measurement is available in m/s, fps, mph, km/h, or kN. Forming part of the WTS modular telemetry system, the data transmitted by the WTS-WSS can be received by multiple WTS receivers, which include displays, handheld readers, analogue outputs, relay modules, and computer programs.
