Schneider Electric Accutech range of wireless instrumentation

The Accutech range of wireless instrumentation products is designed to provide cost-effective and easy-to-install alternatives to traditional, hard-wired sensors. The products come with push-button configuration, power, radio and sensor in one unit and are suited to harsh environments.

The products have a secure and high-performance, licence-free radio, with a range of up to 1000 m, and built-in batteries that last up to 10 years.

The rugged units are designed for the majority of industrial applications, with installations ranging from the plant floor, to remote installations with extreme temperature and humidity ranges. Up to 256 Accutech base radios can coexist and each base radio can support 100 field instruments with up to 1 s sampling on all instruments. The products come with NEMA4 and explosion-proof packaging options and are certified CSA Class 1, Div 1 and ATEX/IECex (-ai and -d). For environments where there are considerable obstructions and ultralong reach is required, high-gain antennas are available.

Typical applications include wellhead monitoring, gas pipeline leak detection with acoustic monitors, tank level measurement, environmental monitoring, pressure measurement, securing remote sites with discreet input switches and delivering 4-20 mA signals from third-party instruments.
