Battery powered radio telemetry data acquisition module |
| Q: What is the difference between the ACM and ACMi? |
A: The T24-ACMi is physically smaller and provides power via 2 x AA batteries and has smaller terminal block style field connectors for wiring to acquisition modules. The T24-ACM although larger can provide power from an external power supply (5-18V) as well as 2 x D cell batteries which provide a higher battery capacity allowing for longer battery life.
|
| |
| Q: What Acquisition module fits with the ACM and ACMi? |
A: When using either ACM you will require an acquisition module that can accept an external antenna denoted by an ‘e’ on the end of the model name. Both ACM’s benefit from being fitted with a T24-ANTA which provides the best omni transmission range although higher gain and more directional antennas such as the T24-ANTC can also be fitted.

This acquisition module provides high speed measurement of strain gauge, pressure, linear displacement and other strain gauge based sensors including loadcells. The small module size allows for the option of embedding it within the sensor housing.
Low power modes allow the module to power off completely and can be controlled by other T24 products such as the handheld displays or a base station. The module can be configured to last several years on 2 x alkaline AA batteries or alternatively powered from 2 x NiMH or 1 x 3V Lithium.
The high speed electronics deliver low drift results which are transmitted at a rate of 2000 readings per second to other T24 devices such as analog outputs and base stations etc.
Although this module can be used ‘as is’ for OEM solutions there are a number of enclosure options available. See Related Products tab.
Integral antenna option offers up to 100m (325 ft) range and external antenna options allows up to 200m (650 ft) range in an open field site. The module is configured using free T24 Toolkit software which runs on a PC connected to a T24 base station.
The licence free 2.4GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology offers high integrity, error free communications which can co-exist with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Zigbee®. FCC, ETSI and IC approvals. |
