ProRF Encoder Transmitter
& Receiver:

Typical applications for the ProRF Encoder system include situations
where it would be difficult and/or expensive to route cabling between
the Encoder and the Digital Readout.
Examples include:
-
Encoder cable lengths over 20 feet.
-
Installations where the encoder and readout are
located in separate rooms and/or buildings.
-
Applications involving excessive motion of the
encoder cabling resulting in excess wear.
-
Applications that would require the encoder cable
being installed in the same conduit/wire way with high voltage
cables over long distances (greater than 10 feet).
The system is easy to install and requires minimum maintenance. It is
backwards compatible with all previously manufactured ProScale
measurement products including all Incremental and Absolute encoders.
The system incorporates IEEE standard 802.15.4 radio modules operating
at 2.4GHz to provide two way communications. This helps to guarantee
the reliable transfer of position data and provides remote annunciation
of transmitter low battery conditions plus encoder status. The typical
operating range is from 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) depending on
environmental conditions.
NOTE:
This RF
system is designed for intermittent data transmission of position
information. Transmitter battery life is directly proportional to the
amount of data transmissions generated. Do not use this RF system in
applications where the ProScale linear measuring system is being used in
continuous operation.
The Encoder transmitter is
powered by one Lithium coin cell battery. The Transmitter can send
position data to two different receiver types, up to 100 feet away. Transmissions
are two-way, ensuring successful communication between devices.
One receiver
type (Encoder
Receiver) can be used to connect directly to a digital readout (as shown in the
picture above). This receiver includes a plug-in "wall bug" transformer and has a low battery
indicator for the Transmitter's battery status.
This configuration supports ONE transmitter and ONE or TWO receivers.
Another
receiver type (ProRF
Universal Receiver) can be used to connect
directly to a computer serial (RS232) or USB port. This receiver includes a low battery indicator for the transmitter
battery, numerical input indicators to indicate which transmitter the signal
originated from and diagnostic indicator lights and codes.
This receiver supports up to 8 transmitters - Encoder or
SPC types
