Thermocouples wireless transmit their readings

An Omega Engineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 23, 2008

When activated the Omega connector will transmit readings at intervals programmed by the user during the initial setup.

Omega's new wireless thermocouple connector series features stand-alone, compact, battery-powered thermocouple connectors that transmit their readings back to a host receiver up to 90m away.

Each unit can be programmed in the field to work as a type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N or C calibration connector.

When activated the connector will transmit readings continuously at the time interval that was programmed by the user during the initial setup.

Each unit measures and transmits: thermocouple input reading, connector ambient temperature, RF signal strength and battery condition to the host.

The data is displayed on the PC screen in real-time using the provided software.

When used with the UWTC-REC1 host receiver data from up to 12 wireless thermocouple connectors can be received and displayed.

Each unit includes free software that converts a PC into a strip chart recorder or data logger so readings can be saved and later printed or exported to a spread sheet file.

When used with a UWTC-REC2 host transceiver wireless data from one connector can be re-transmitted out of the receiver by a wired connection as an analogue voltage, current or thermocouple signal to interface with a controller, PLC or data acquisition board.
