CT4/8-Wheel is an telemetry system designed for easy mounting onto rotating Wheels to provide non-contact transmission of measured parameters such as pressure, force, temperature, acceleration and voltage.

Sensors inputs are connected via screw on, waterproof connectors. Measured values are prepared in analog format, digitized and transmitted via radio frequencies. Four different carrier frequencies are provided, this allows up to four systems (e.g. for four wheels) to operate in parallel. The complete transmitter assembly is waterproofed to IP65 specifications.

The following sensors can be connected to the system: (STG) Strain gages sensors in full-, half- and quarter-bridge configuration (350 ohm or greater), Type K Thermocouples to 1000°C, ICP and capacitive sensors. Voltage inputs of +/-5V and +/-10V are available.

The measured values are processed and output as +/-5V analog signals at the BNC sockets (optional digital output for special PCM interface into a PC) on the stationary receiver located in a vehicle or helicopter cabin.

Resolution of 12 bits is standard; this enables an amplitude dynamic of 72 dB. The analog signal bandwidth is 0-95 Hz (-6dB) when configured as an eight channel unit. The measurement accuracy is +/-0.5 % (without sensor). The CT4/8-Wheel is suited for operation at ambient temperatures of -20 to +70°C. The transmission distance between transmitter and receiving antenna is of the order of 10m (30 feet) - depend of application!
