    The last mode is sleep. Modules can be sent to sleep by other modules or they can go to sleep themselves when their messages are no longer being used. See Sleep Delay Settings later.

    So if there is a requirement that recorded sets of readings are within a certain time of each other, then that time is the maximum message interval that should be set for the Transmitters regardless of the actual log interval of the software (Which should always be greater than the Transmitter message interval). Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...

  • Page 25: Bandwidth

    This is a simple way to break down modules into smaller groups and control what messages get repeated. Changing the repeater subgroup is not normally necessary unless the bandwidth is very full due to either many Transmitter modules being present or very fast transmissions from modules.

  • Page 39: Transmitter Modules

    T24 Transmitters are the modules that connect to a sensor or have an input signal applied and periodically transmit messages containing the value read from the sensor or input. T24-ACM-SA, T24-ACMi-SA, T24-ACMm-SA, T24-SAe, T24-SAi Overview The range of SA modules provide measurement from strain gauges and load cells.

  • Page 40: Connections

    As the measurement is four wire then as the cable length increases the voltage drops in the cable will have more of an effect on the factory mV/V calibration. The strain gauge measurement is bi-directional, i.e. tension & compression. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...

    Some complex topologies may only be realized by using multiple base stations which may require changes to the Address switches. (Contact Mantracourt Electronics for advice regarding multiple base stations residing on a single serial bus) The industrial base station (T24-BSi) has interfaces for USB, RS232 and RS485 and is addressable.
