Remote conditioning (RMC) of radio-telemetry sensor systems now possible at any time during operation

Manner sensor telemetry now has another innovation that uses its proven radio sensor telemetry system. Previously, it had only been possible to perform conditioning of the measuring amplifier when the rotor was at a standstill. Thanks to the innovation, the measuring amplifier (zero point and gain settings) can be remotely conditioned over greater distances. Thanks to this new function, the radio telemetry system now has the same flexibility as the inductive telemetry system. A new, special version allows for the optional transfer of data - both inductively as well as by wireless signals. This way, the relative merits of the different types of system are combined. As is well known, the battery-powered radio telemetry system is marked by its ease of use, as there is no need to mount a pickup or rotor induction loop. One special feature is that the system has a range of up to 50 m when operated by batteries. This is ideal for brief "quick and dirty" measuring tasks. Nevertheless, bandwidths of up to 40 kHz can be achieved with multiple channels. Yet on the other hand, the inductive sensor telemetry system has an unlimited service life and provides extreme robustness under tough environmental conditions. It is not affected by interference. Depending on the application concerned, one or the other system is advantageous.

The new solution can be used for short-term measurement tasks using a battery, as well as for long-term measurements with an inductive power source and for an unlimited time. Measuring service providers only need to carry one type of system (weighing very little) in their hand luggage, which greatly simplifies logistics and maintenance. Thus even a system that has been mounted for short-time measurement can be converted very easily to perform long-term measurements.
