Wireless Monitoring Applications: Temperature Monitoring
FEDD can employ any number of methods utilizing our unique devices to monitor
temperature data and transmit it wirelessly across the facility, and beyond.
FEDD offers the total wireless solution for capturing, transmitting and
integrating temperature data economically, across the plant, across the road,
or across the continent. The performance, reliability, integrity and service life
of FEDD devices in the some of the most rigorous and congested environments has
been proven to be unequaled.
FEDD Temperature Monitoring Devices
FEDD single point temperature monitoring
devices provide reliable and economical temperature data acquisition and transmission
in a single self-contained, self-powered unit. In areas where AC power is limited or
unavailable, the use of FEDD single point temperature monitoring and transmitting devices
allows economical acquisition and timely utilization of important physical property data.
These patented devices, available in thermocouple or RTD design with operating ranges as
defined by the specific application, are self-powered or can be connected to existing loop
power if available (DC or AC) and have a self-transmitting range of ¾ mile. For longer
transmission distance requirements, the use of FEDD intelligent repeaters expands the
effective transmission range to 7 miles plus. For off-site transmission of critical data,
the use of other methods can be incorporated into the data integration system.
Other Temperature Monitoring Devices
Where loop powered temperature monitoring instruments are already in use and the output
data is required at remote locations, the use of FEDD single point wireless transmitters
brings the signal to the control room or wherever desired, without costly hard-wiring.
FEDD can integrate data from other temperature monitoring devices outputting analog
(4/20 mA) or digital signals and transmit wirelessly using our single point transmitters
powered by battery or the existing loop. These devices have a range of ¾ mile which can be
increased to 7 miles plus using FEDD intelligent repeaters.
Multiple Temperature Monitoring Devices – By Others
In the instance where data from single or multiple devices monitoring temperature is required
at remote locations, the use of FEDD Remote Transmitting Units (RTUs) receiving either analog
(4/20 mA), digital signals or other types of protocols (such as Modbus) from the devices and transmitting wirelessly to the control room
and/or other remote locations is the optimal solution, economically and operationally.
Where
power is not available, FEDD RTUs, solar powered with battery backup, can provide continuous
power to any instrument designed to be loop powered. The RTU can also be equipped with an
independent alarm for reading a set of dry contacts. Utilizing FEDD RTUs, system expandability
is virtually unlimited. FEDD RTUs are unique in the industry, allow for virtually unlimited
flexibility in the system, are unequalled in performance and reliability and are among the most
important technical advances in wireless data acquisition, transmission and integration to date.
