Krausse Messtechnik Telemetry system CT8-wheel

Model: 
CT8-wheel

The CT8 Wheel is a telemetry system designed for easy mounting onto rotating wheels to provide non-contact transmission of measured parameters such as pressure, force, temperature, acceleration and voltage.  Sensors inputs are connecred via screw on, waterproof connectors.  Measured values are prepared in analog format, digitized and transmitted via radio frequencies.  The complete transmitter assembly is waterproofed to IP65 specifications. 

The following sensors can be connecred to the system: six (STG) Strain gages sensors in full-bridge configuration (350 ohm or greater) and two voltage inputs of +/- 5V. 

The measured values are processed and output as +/- 5V analog signals at the BNC sockets on the stationary receiver located in a vehicle.
