The T24 Telemetry range of products provide remote measurement of a variety of inputs allowing the results to be relayed to a computer or PLC or to feed the data into other T24 modules that provide their own outputs such as analogue, ASCII serial or LED display for example.
Transmitters & Receivers Although all of the T24 modules are in fact transceivers and transmit as well as receive, they tend to mainly operate as either a transmitter or receiver so we will choose to describe them as Transmitters and Receivers.
Configuration mode forces the modules to pause in sending their messages and to disable their low power state to enable configuration to take place. This is easily achieved by ‘Pairing’ when using the T24 Toolkit software. Once configuration is complete the modules will resume their ‘normal’ mode operation.
Because you need to know the radio settings configured in a module to be able to configure it, and there are no visible clues to what those settings may be, there is a feature used by T24 modules that enable the radio settings (i.e.
Configuring an Attached Base Station Because a base station is attached to your computer when you are using the T24 Toolkit you do not pair to it the same way as with other T24 modules. To configure the base station using the Toolkit hold the shift key and click...
There can also be interference from other sources that can delay module transmissions. Because of the transmission rate flexibility of the T24 modules there could be a few modules transmitting messages at fast rates or many modules transmitting messages at slow rates or any combination of these.
This may use a slider, text box or list to allow your new value to be entered. A base station will also be required to configure the T24 modules. If you have a USB version of the base station (T24-BSu or T24-BSue) then you just need to plug this into a USB socket on your PC. If you are using an alternative base station then please refer to the appropriate section of this manual.
Common Toolkit Pages These pages in the T24 Toolkit are applicable to all connected modules. Setup Base Station Communications Select the appropriate interface type for the connected base station. If the base station is connected via a serial port then you will need to know the COM port it is connected to and the baud rate.
Using this tool may help in detecting noisy areas and allow you to decide on which channels you may want to use. Although 16 channels are shown the T24 modules operate over radio channels 1 to 15. Channel 16 is reserved for pairing negotiation.
This shows a good RF environment. The Band Noise Floor is low and there are no red traces indicating that there are plenty of signal free gaps to enable T24 to transmit. There is traffic across the whole band with higher signal traffic between channels 11 to 15, but there is nothing that would affect T24 operation.
Page 31
For most channels the minimum signal level is below the CCA threshold, so as long as the T24 signal is strong enough the system will still work. However, note the sloping nature of the red trace.
Page 32
12 but other channels that were once OK (Having a very low minimum signal level) now have a viewable level of minimum signal noise. A double-click on the planar chart would reset the peak and minimum calculations so the minimum red trace would then follow the more recent higher noise floor.

Home You now have successful communications with the base station so you can now pair with our remote T24 module or you can select the Spectrum Analyser mode or Data Provider Monitor mode. Connecting to a remote module To connect to a remote module you will pair. This is achieved by power cycling the module. Pairing removes the need to know the radio settings of the module you are connecting to and also ensures that it is in a suitable state for configuration.
If you cannot get to the power supply of the remote module you can attempt to connect manually using Soft Pairing. Click the ‘Click Here’ link at the bottom of the page and follow the prompts. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...
Extended range radios were introduced to the T24 range in 2015. This indicates that the connected module has an extended range radio fitted. V4.0 radio modules introduce better performance in hostile RF environments. This includes better pairing and reception as well as battery life.
Items you can change: Low Battery Level Click this item to set the battery low level. Clicking the Advanced button will give more detailed information on the RSSI and CV levels of the received radio packets. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...
CV is the correlation value and indicates how well the signal can be decoded. This ranges from 55 which is a poor quality signal and 110 which is an excellent signal. Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...

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.
+SIG +EXC The resistance of the strain gauge can be between 85 and 5000 ohms. The T24-SA can support up to four 350 ohm strain gauges bridges attached in parallel (At the expense of reduced battery life).

Overview The T24-PR1 is a thermal printer module that can print a 57 mm wide ticket which can include data from up to 8 modules and optionally sum them. The printout can be triggered from the arrival of data from a specific module or alternatively by a handheld module which can also optionally supply the data value to print.
The T24 Toolkit provides a means of simple configuration of themodule along with useful tools to aid integration. Launch the T24 Toolkit software application and pair to this module to enable the connection to the Toolkit to allow configuration to take place.
Switch Mode The external button/switch option may be made available on future releases of the T24-PR1 Click to select either: Print – Triggers an output from the serial port. Note that Min Interval setting on the Output Settings page may stop this from working at the rate the contact closes.

Sleep Delay time. Stay awake messages are transmitted by handhelds, analogue output modules and PC software etc. so that when those items are turned off or disabled all other T24 modules will sleep when their Sleep Delay time elapses. Mantracourt Electronics Limited...
Getting Started Use the T24 Toolkit to ensure that the repeater radio channel matches the rest of the T24 modules. You will then need to decide whether the repeater is battery powered or permanently externally powered and whether it should always wake other sleeping modules when it is powered up and awake.
Carefully plan the layout of radio modules to minimise this. Using the Data Provider monitor in the T24 Toolkit can show the amount of traffic. The T24 Toolkit on a laptop or netbook is ideal for checking installations as it is mobile so traffic can be monitored at different points in the installation.
The T24 Toolkit provides a means of simple configuration and calibration of the transmitter module along with useful tools to aid integration. Launch the T24 Toolkit software application and pair to this module to enable the connection to the Toolkit to allow configuration to take place.

**Usually using batteries the T24-AR would be utilising the SleepDelay to return to sleep. Therefore the actual daily usage would allow for far greater than the stated battery life. For example: If the T24-AR was used for 1 hour per day then the battery life would be 6840 hours or 288 days or nearly 10 months.
Some simple commands are available to wake, sleep, and keep awake T24 transmitter modules. The T24-GW will NOT act as a base station and cannot be used to configure T24 modules. It will support all transmitter modules that deliver a single value in their Data Provider packets. The T24-GW1 does not support the T24-SAf.
