Jekyll Electronic Technology has developed a powerful software tool to help companies communicate efficiently with their Telemodem2 modems.
Modem is tenth birthday present
Jekyll Electronic Technology is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its successful Telemodem intelligent line-powered modem.
The Telemodem2 can connect to equipment monitors, leak or overflow detectors, door contacts, tank level instruments and PLC programmable logic controllers that control plant sensor networks for remote condition monitoring.
The main advantage is the ability to access data from remote monitoring equipment as often as required, without the need to deploy resources on site.
The versatility of the DIN-mounted option means that a number of these modems can be put in a limited space to facilitate high density mounting through an easy "clip mounting" arrangement.

Low power modem cuts budget for GSM data
A new industrial modem enables manufacturers and users of remote low-power data collection equipment to communicate across mobile GSM networks.
Conventional modems were often too power hungry, difficult to set up and limited in configuration, but the Telemodem2 overcomes this through extended power options and a remote diagnostics capability.
There is a choice of data ports and interfacing depending on the host monitor/meter, and all Jekyll modems are interchangeable for added value to a customer's existing industrial telemetry setup.
Five modems are available.
The low power Standard connects at speeds up to 2400bit/s (V22bis).
Data ports are compatible with both logic or RS232 levels and caller line identity reduces installation costs by allowing line sharing with other equipment.
Ideal for true remote monitoring, the Freedom operates on "zero power" from the telephone line, rather than using mains or battery power.
This simplifies installation to legacy equipment where communications power is not available.
Suited for downloading vast amounts of data from remote site, Fastlink features a 14,400bit/s (V32bis) high speed connection, without requiring any more power than an ordinary low speed modem.
For mobile telemetry applications, the GSM/GPRS Mobile is able to draw power smoothly, without demanding large pulses of current, and remain in a standby state on literally micro-amps.
Supply voltages can be preselected to linkup with battery powered data loggers as well as direct power supplies in distribution plants.
The Custom means exactly that.
Choices include mounting, interfacing, communications protocol, mechanical configuration and power supply.
Environmental protection and intrinsic safety options can also be configured by Jekyll on request. Request a free brochure from Jekyll Electronic Technology ...
