Wireless transceiver

Wednesday, 08 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd


Banner Engineering has introduced a new way to collect analog, digital and temperature information in hazardous areas.

The system is a combination of wireless, battery and intrinsically safe electronics.

This method moves the intrinsically safe power supply from the control room to the wireless transceiver. This is the DX99, battery-powered node, a combination of three technologies combined in a single housing — battery-based power supply; robust wireless technology for data; intrinsically safe operation.

The battery-powered node uses a liquid lithium battery to produce an intrinsically safe power source for the transceiver and an external third-party sensor.

When combined with low power consumption sampling electronics, it is a standalone unit that can operate for up to 10 years on a single battery.

The wireless is a highly tuned subsystem designed to be reliable and secure, and provide diagnostic information about the status of the wireless link.

It transmits and receives up to 5 km (150 mW with 2 dBi antenna) while consuming little power.
