Remote sensor telemetry

May 2016 Temperature Measurement

ASSTech now holds the distributorship for British specialist manufacturer of temperature measurement and power conversion products, Calex Electronics.

Within the range is the PyroNet GSM remote sensor telemetry system that can monitor temperatures from anywhere in the world. Measurements taken at regular intervals are then transmitted to the Internet via the GSM cellular phone network using the PyroNet GSM’s built-in SIM card.

The unit transmits readings from up to four devices with analog inputs such as the PyroCouple and PyroMini infrared temperature sensors. Inputs are selectable 0-20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0-5 V, 0-10 V or digital on/off. Optional relay outputs rated at 30 VDC, 2 A are available for connection directly to alarm hardware.

A choice of battery-powered, solar-powered or 6-24 VDC powered versions is available for indoor or outdoor use.

Calex’s hosted web interface, PyroNet GSMView ensures secure data hosting and access is standard in the monthly subscription. Users can export measurement results to be used in a spreadsheet, and configure the system to send e-mail or SMS alarms, for temperature alerts or loss of communication (e.g. due to power failure).
