The WI550 Analog Input Field Transmitter is part of the XYR 5000 family of wireless products. It is used to add wireless capabilities to new or existing analog transmitters, such as pressure, temperature, level, flow meters, pH meters, or any device that has voltage (0 – 10 V) or current (4 – 20 mA) outputs. The Smart Response Manager allows the transmitter to adapt to changing process conditions, allowing greater visibility to process variation. Smart Response Manager allows the user to set thresholds which, when exceeded, cause the transmitter to adjust sampling and data transmission rates. Optional discrete inputs are available for
The transmitter combines a high resolution signal conditioner, with a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver that communicates in a digital protocol, using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). FHSS ensures data integrity by continually switching the carrier wave over a wide range of frequencies. Power is supplied by a C size 3.6 V lithium battery, with an expected lifetime of up to five years.
