WTSSHK-D WTS-BS-4 System

WTSSHK-D Wireless Crosby™ Load Shackle and WTS-BS-4 Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure

Wireless Load Shackle System with Data Logging and Visualization

The WTS Wireless Crosby Load Shackle accurately measures lifting and tension forces, wirelessly transmitting data to the WTS-BS-4 Base Station via a secure, long-range telemetry signal. The base station connects to a PC via USB and streams data directly into Log100 software, which supports real-time logging and visualization of up to 100 channels. Users can create custom system layouts, assign live readings to visual elements, and remotely monitor performance via a built-in web server on any standard browser.

WTSSHK-D Wireless Crosby™ Load Shackle of telemetry load shackles are manufactured using the Crosby™ G2150 shackles. Versions are also available using the popular GreenPin™ range of shackles. The built in radio telemetry electronics operates on the 2.4GHz license free frequency.
The unique telemetry housing is manufactured from tough high performance polyamide resin making it strong yet light, resulting in a better balanced load shackle when compared to others available on the market. Two clips enable you to open the housing to access and change the two AAA batteries, while the internal electronics underneath remain completely sealed. This includes the antenna to ensure maximum protection from damage.
The WTSSHK-D can also be supplied with a handheld battery powered display which can toggle between MT or lbs, or alternatively, for multi-shackle applications. A single display can address up to 12 shackles for individual monitoring, or for summation/weighing applications.
Interface can also supply more complex telemetry systems. For further information on what we can offer, please contact our technical department with details of your application requirements.

WTS-BS-4 Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure

Wireless Base Station with USB Interface in Industrial Enclosure

The WTS-BS-4 is one of a range of base stations that are required for configuration and calibration of the WTS modular telemetry system. Base stations can also be used for data collection systems by making available the WTS wireless transmitter data over the USB interface.

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 common industrial power supplies and are available in robust IP rated enclosures with internal antennas optimized to give outstanding coverage. The WTS-BS-4 is housed in an IP67 enclosure and has better coverage than the WTS-BS-3E.

On Windows PCs the free WTS Toolkit is used to configure and calibrate the WTS modular telemetry system while the free WTS logging and visualization software allows monitoring and data collection.

Features & Benefits

Up to 800 m (2,625 ft) range
Simple plug & play USB
Configure & calibrate the WTS range
IP67/NEMA 4 rated enclosure
