A new industrial modem that combines high-speed data transfer with low power operation has just been launched by Jekyll Electronic Technology Remote metering with the Telemodem 2 Fastlink is much faster than with previous versions, and the various power requirement options (from 3.4 to 28V and a low standby current of less than 3uA) reduces telemetry costs and extends application flexibility

Faster connections speed remote acquisition
Hot on the heels of the Telemodem 2 Fastlink comes Fast Connect - a novel solution for improved telemetry call times from Jekyll Electronic Technology.
Water and gas meters open to electricity software
Jekyll has now introduced the standard Electricity Industry Code of Practice 6 (CoP6) protocol onto its Pulsar Telelog remote metering logger, which is powered from the telephone line
Easy alarm status telemetry at remote facilities
The Pulsar Telelog from Jekyll Electronic Technology is a major innovation for companies wishing to add alarm status telemetry at remote facilities.
Fastlink achieves high speed rates up to 14,400bit/s, with the ability to go faster.
Requiring no more power than ordinary low-speed telemetry modems, it is easy to plug in as a direct replacement.
Setup is easy, whether configured at the factory or using Jekyll's new Remote Manager software.
Integral mounting lugs or optional DIN rail clips cover most installation needs.
Custom power supplies, mounting and interface options can be arranged and Jekyll's comprehensive engineering support is on hand to help customers with their installation and application needs.
Small enough to fit under the terminal cover of a typical electricity meter, Fastlink is ideal for automatic meter reading in multi-utility data collection, environmental monitoring and general low power telemetry applications.
Fastlink uses far less battery energy than lower-speed counterparts for an equivalent amount of data, also making it suitable for battery powered equipment.
Conventional high-speed computer modems are unsuitable for industrial needs.
Often they are bulky, power hungry, prone to locking up and limited in configuration ability.
Restrictions on size, power and costs have previously limited specialist industrial telemetry modem data transfer rates to speeds of 1200 or 2400bit/s.
The Fastlink plugs the gap and, where applications generate significant data quantities, it minimises the cost and unreliability of extended call times. Request a free brochure from Jekyll Electronic Technology ...
