Temperature Measurement Kit Works In Remote Areas The Temptrackr multipoint wireless temperature measurement kit from Aspen Electronics is suitable for monitoring the temperature on equipment and installations in remote locations. It can also be used where power and communication to the sensor is restricted. Designed for systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers, the system is claimed to be simple to install and use. It is also portable and offers good performance for real-time in-process temperature sensing. Developed by Vectron International's Sengenuity division and manufactured in Germany, the starter kit contains three passive wireless temperature sensors, capable of measuring temperatures between 0C and +120C from a maximum interrogation distance of 1.78m. The surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based sensors require no power source as they harvest energy from bursts of radio frequency emitted by a wireless interrogator, which excite resonators within each device. ...
