Very low power radio

Transmitter - radio receiver with very low power consumption for Analog/Digital remote sites

The ranges TBR and TBRS are composed of very low power consumption radio transmitter-receiver units.

The TBR , very low consumption radio, is ideal for remote monitoring, remote alarm, remotemeasurement, remotecontrol, energy-free sites, and therefore reservoir management, pumping, irrigatio nsystems, or valve control.

The TBRS , very low solar radio consumption, is more dedicated to the remote control of sensor 4/20ma or Jbus on RS485.

TBR: very low power radio

A set TBR , very low power radio, is composed of two DIN rail boxes, one called "transmitter" and the other called "receiver", and two antennas.

The very low power radio consumption of the boxes includes the input/output terminals, the signal LEDs and one or both switches for parameterization.

In the antennas, very low power consumption radios, (YAGI directional type as standard or omnidirectional on request) is directly integrated in the whole RF part.

The transmitter/receiver set, very low consumption radios, allows, depending on the version, point-to-point transmission of up to 2 4/20mA signals, 2 counting inputs, 2 remote alarms, 5 digital in one direction and 2 digital in return. In cases where the number of data to be transmitted, by very low consumption radio, is more important, it can accommodate, on its RS485 Jbus port, various extension modules (additional logical, analogical, counting channels).
The receiver, a very low consumption radio, recreates the signals on its terminal blocks (4/20mA outputs, digital relays, etc.) and can be interrogated on the RS485 link in Modbus / Jbus in order to retrieve, in a PLC or a remote management, the signal values but also the calculated values and the available technical information (flow rates calculated from counter pulses, supply voltages, transmission faults, etc.).

These very low consumption radios, Autonomous on batteries or batteries or powered by a solar panel or a 12Vdc source, the TBR , very low consumption radio, transmits without license the logical and analogical information on more than 5 km. The sites equipped with these very low consumption radios, to date go up to distances between the transmitters, of this very low consumption radio, and the receivers, of this very low consumption radio, of 8km.

The TBR , very low consumption radios, are very simple to implement:
- the channel and the transmission time step is set by a simple switch (10s., 30s., 2mn. or 6mn) on the front panel of the very low consumption radios,
- the integration of the RF part in the antenna, very low power consumption radios, makes it possible not to use coaxial cables.
- no application for authorization or license is necessary for these very low power radios,

The transmission of this very low consumption radio is carried out at an adjustable time step (10s., 30s., 2mn. or 6mn.) and on a change of state of a remote alarm (for example anti-intrusion).

TBR RANGE MODELS, very low power radio

Number of inputs and outputs of the radio transmitters very low consumption:

The very low power consumption radio transmitter is common to all models. The number of usable inputs and outputs does not depend on the ultra-low power radio transmitter, but only on the inputs and outputs of the ultra-low power radio receiver.

TBRS, very low power solar-powered radio,

The TBRS range, a very low consumption solar-powered radio, is a variation of the TBR range dedicated to the remote control of Jbus RS485 or 4-20mA sensors.

A set TBRS , a very low consumption solar-powered radio, consists of two boxes, one called "transmitter" and the other called "receiver", and two antennas.

The transmitter of this very low power radio, IP65, integrates the signal acquisition and processing electronics, the RF card, the antenna, a solar panel, batteries and back-up batteries.
The receiver, of this very low consumption radio, is a DIN rail box with a RS485 serial link to be connected to a PLC or a remote management. On the receiver, of this very low consumption radio, is connected an external antenna integrating all the RF part.

Inside the transmitter box of this solar-powered, very low-power radio are two switches for setting the channel and the communication time step.

The transmitter/receiver unit of this very low consumption solar-powered radio allows, depending on the version, the point-to-point transmission of either a 4/20mA signal or a measurement made by a CRUZOE radarsensor (ModBus / JBus). Instead of the cruzosensor, it is possible to connect extension modules allowing the transmission of logic, analog or counting channels (ATTENTION: IP20 modules that must be integrated in waterproof enclosures).
The receiver, of this very low consumption solar-powered radio, can be interrogated on the RS485 link in Modbus / Jbus in order to retrieve, in a PLC or a remote management, the signal values but also the available technical information (power supply voltages, transmission faults, etc...).

The TBRS , very low power radio with solar power, are very simple to implement:
- The channel and the transmission time step of this very low power solar-powered radio can be set by a simple switch (10s., 5min., 15mn. or 30mn),
- The integration of the RF part in the antenna, of this very low power solar powered radio, makes it possible not to use coaxial cables.
- no application for authorization or license is required for this very low-power solar-powered radio.
