Readout & Data Loggers

NDACS range of data loggers all of the Keynes Controls real-time Ethernet data acquisition systems can be connected to the range of Settlement/Tilt senors. The LSI-R102 receiver module can accept upto 32 sensors and pass information directly to 2 x 16 channel NDACS data recorders. The NetPod 4000 range of Ethernet data acquisition systems can accept up to 96 sensors to a single instrument. The data loggers can be used to report data automatically across networks, the Internet and remotely by direct data connection or by E-mail across dial-up ISP accounts.

NDACS 6000 Series Data Recorder

The NDACS 6000 series of loggers can be used to record tilt and displacement directly from the analogue output from the T/S-102 range of sensors and from any associated temperature sensors such as thermocouple and RTD.

Deployment

The T/S-102 range of sensors can be directly connected to data recording systems via the analogue output or via the radio interface. The LSI-T102 signal conditioning module utilises a standard UHF BNC connector to connect the transmitter to a suitable antenna. A range of antennas are available from standard weatherproof rubber helicals for local operations to beam antennas for longer distance applications.

Reliability:

The T/S-102 family of sensors uses no moving parts and is supplied with an industrial temperature range making it ideal for operations in most weather conditions. With no moving parts and solid state construction make the sensor a very reliable tool.

Local Operations:

The T/S-102 range of sensors contains both a radio interface and local analogue output for local measurements. The local analogue output can be used for direct connection to recording systems to and to display units where readings are needed instantly.

Cost Effective:

The sensors are easy to install and utilising the embedded transmitter they can be fitted without need of any external wiring. The sensors are fast to deploy and easily integrated to measurement systems. For local operations the analogue output can be used to see instantly the actions of the sensor.

Microprocessor Control:

The T/S-102 sensors utilise microprocessor control for improved timing accuracy and minimise the data acquisition system noise.

Power Supply

The T/S-102 range sensors can be supplied with a range of battery packs. The capacity of the battery pack details the period of time over which the sensor can be deployed. Battery packs are available allowing the instruments to be deployed remotely for a number of years.

It is also possible to deploy the T/S-102 sensor with a solar cell to provide power. In this configuration sensor will operate indefinitely.
