Signal conditioning
Signal conditioning and sensor system specialist Mantracourt has outlined three crucial steps to show how engineers across many industries can achieve the best results from their wireless sensor instrumentation. This comes at a time where the number of automated devices continues to grow and engineers working in sensor design and implementation can monitor the performance in a reliable, cost- effective way.

Three steps to successful wireless installation

ireless instrumentation for test and measurement play a central role whether long or short term
collection of data is needed. The instrumentation is compact and embeddable if required, plus there is a host of modular options to suit a variety of industrial sensors such as load, strain, pressure, force, torque and other 4-20 mA / 0-10 V conditioned sensors. The wireless system provides a tool for managers to gather and analyse data from their sensor installation efficiently. However, certain steps must be followed to see all the benefits of wireless data technology. “The trouble with wireless telemetry systems is that if simple steps aren’t taken to install it correctly, the equipment won’t be optimised to perform at its best,” explains Tom Lilly, application engineer at Mantracourt. “These challenges can be tackled by taking time to carry out a site survey. “Using a receiver like a T24 handheld device, or a radio spectrum analyser function found in our free software, the data capture capabilities can be assessed on-site, identifying if any dead spots exist which can be easily overcome if planning takes place. When this is done, its important to think about your sensor’s lifespan which can be lengthened with adjustments to data transmission and measurement rate to conserve battery life. The last part of the planning is to how best to manage your data” With Mantracourt’s guide to successful
installation, engineers across many industries can measure and monitor data variables such as linear movement, wind speed, temperature, pressure, humidity, force or torque. The
