rl5002 radio transmitter

The rl5000 range is a new series of Hanwell radio telemetry transmitters, designed for use with the Radiolog 8 environmental monitoring system. The units are in IP65-rated cases and are suitable for use in tough environments.

Each rl5000 has two inputs for probes, the combination of which can be custom-defined. Supported temperature probe types include: thermistors, PT100s and thermocouples. The rl5000 also supports humidity probes and linear inputs. Probes are supplied separately.

The transmitter ID, transmission speed and calibration data is programmed into its on-board memory using Radiolog 8, a software package which automatically recognises the type of unit connected to the PC via the USB lead.

The custom-designed LCD indicates current readings of two channels (based on the onboard calibration data), battery life and alarm conditions. A plain cover is supplied if the LCD is not required.

The transmitter is typically powered by a 7.5V 2700mAh battery pack, which can be fitted by the user. The battery life will be dependant on the number of inputs and the transmission speed. An indicator on the LCD will warn when the battery is low, and the transmitter maintains a record of when the battery has been changed.

The rl5000 range has been designed to comply with the RoHS and WEEE EU directives, and carries the CE mark.
