MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Sensor for Strain and Load Monitoring
MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Sensor for Strain and Load Monitoring is a wireless resistive bridge meter designed to connect with Wheatstone bridge and other analogue bridge circuits. It can be used to monitor measurements such as strain, force, pressure, displacement, incline and torque from compatible bridge-based sensors. The meter excites the connected bridge and measures its output, then transmits the data wirelessly to a compatible Monnit gateway and monitoring system. It is a practical option for adding remote monitoring to existing analogue measurement points.
The MONNIT Wireless Resistive Bridge Sensor for Strain and Load Monitoring provides a way to bring compatible analogue bridge-based sensors into a wireless monitoring system.
It is designed to connect with Wheatstone bridges and other analogue bridge circuits used in a range of industrial measurement applications. Depending on the connected sensing device, this can include strain, force, pressure, displacement, incline and torque monitoring.
The meter excites the connected resistive bridge and measures the voltage across its supplied four-wire lead. A programmable gain amplifier can be adjusted between 1X and 128X to suit the signal from the connected bridge circuit.
For customers already using compatible bridge-based transducers, the wireless meter can provide a practical path towards remote monitoring without replacing the original measurement element.
