The TS-1X unit is an advanced wireless monitoring system supporting a wide variety of analog inputs. It is capable of sampling 7 channels of analog data at rates up to 160Khz, and 6 channels of DC data. A seamless connection for process inputs is provided for the TS-1X Thermal Amp, where external sensors, such as cold junction thermocouples or RTDs are amplified and conditioned. The vibration channels provide a standard 20V4ma current feed for biasing accelerometers. This bias voltage can be disabled to allow direct AC inputs from other devices such as proximity probes. The wireless unit communicates back to the base station via long range 900Mhz radio. An optional build option allows WLAN communication (802.11G) for higher speed shorter range applications. The TS-1X unit includes a high performance digital signal processor (DSP) that allows advanced analysis programs within the unit (as custom configurations). This includes data compression, encryption, and error correction for the wireless link, and the ability to do advance frequency domain analysis on the unit, as well as setting alarms and making other real time decisions without having to contact the base station. On board memory of 2 megabytes allows samples times of up 3 hours at low sample rates, and 1 minute at the maximum rate. Real time data stream is available over WLAN, with a maximum sample rate that depends on the network performance of the connected WLAN access point. The TS-1X unit provides input buffering and filtering on the AC channels, including programmable low and high pass filters, and an analog integrator. Low frequency signals near DC can be measured with a direct coupled input setting.
