MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Meter for Industrial Monitoring
MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Meter for Industrial Monitoring is an industrial wireless resistive bridge meter designed to connect with Wheatstone and other analogue bridge circuits. It can be used to monitor measurements associated with strain, force, pressure, displacement, incline and torque. The sensor excites the connected resistor bridge and measures the resulting voltage through its 3-foot, four-wire lead. With ALTA 433 MHz wireless communication, it is suited to remote monitoring applications where bridge-based sensors need to be connected to a compatible Monnit monitoring system.
The MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Meter for Industrial Monitoring provides a way to connect compatible resistive bridge sensors to a wireless monitoring system. It is designed for applications where measurements are derived from Wheatstone bridge or other analogue bridge circuits.
Bridge-based sensing is commonly used in instruments that measure physical changes such as strain, force, pressure, displacement, incline and torque. The Monnit sensor excites the connected resistor bridge and measures the voltage across its four-wire, 3-foot lead. A programmable gain amplifier can be adjusted from 1X to 128X to suit the connected measurement circuit.
The exact MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Meter for Industrial Monitoring configuration uses ALTA 433 MHz wireless technology and an industrial enclosure. Monnit lists the product with a pre-installed 3V industrial battery, mounting hardware and a standard dipole SMA antenna.
How it works
- Connect the meter to a compatible Wheatstone or analogue resistive bridge circuit.
- The meter provides excitation to the resistor bridge.
- It measures the resulting voltage through the four-wire lead.
- The programmable gain amplifier can be configured from 1X to 128X.
- Measurement data is transmitted wirelessly using ALTA 433 MHz technology to a compatible Monnit system.
Why choose this product
- Allows compatible bridge-based sensors to be monitored wirelessly.
- Supports a broad range of measurement applications without requiring a dedicated wireless sensor for each measurement type.
- The industrial configuration includes a pre-installed 3V industrial battery and SMA antenna.
- The 3-foot lead provides a practical connection length for the specified model.
- Adjustable signal gain helps accommodate different bridge signal levels.
Benefits
The MNS2-4-IN-RS-BR-L03 can help extend remote monitoring to existing or specialised bridge-based sensing equipment. Instead of replacing a compatible strain, force, pressure or displacement transducer with a different sensor type, the resistive bridge meter can provide a wireless interface for the existing measurement circuit.
This makes it suitable for industrial monitoring systems where measurements need to be collected from locations that may not have convenient wired connections.
