New strain gauge amplifier housing from Celsum
The new ILE is a compact, robust, precision-engineered, stainless steel EMC-shielded housing that will accept either an InCell analogue strain gauge conditioning amplifier or a DCell digital converter
The signals may be transmitted to a computer-connected or hand-held base station over a distance of up to 300 metres.
In addition, the TIO may be connected to other devices to modify inputs or to respond to outputs.
Plug-in modules available for the TIO are: Digital Inputs : 8 Channels (either voltage free channels or 24V isolated or unisolated) - Digital Outputs : 8 Channels (either open collector or no-voltage relay contacts) - Analogue Input: Single channel, high resolution (16 bits) and low resolution (10 bits) versions available, 0-10V or 4-20mA - Analogue Output: Single channel, 15 bit resolution, 0.1 - 10V DC or 4-20mA.

Lightning protection system for load cells
Celsum Technologies have recently added the IPU40 Lightning Protection System to their range of strain gauge based sensors and instrumentation
The TIO uses state-of-the-art, licence-free, encrypted, two-way, digital 20mW radio to provide a very high degree of signal integrity and noise immunity, has a data transmission rate of up to 10 readings per second, and is fitted with its own internal antenna, although an external antenna may be fitted if required.
The TIO operates from a DC power supply, nominally 18 to 26V with a current consumption during transmission of approximately 80mA.
TIO is housed in a robust glanded, IP65 ABS case.
Celsum Technologies Managing Director, Roy Carter, says, "The Radio Telemetry Instrumentation System has many applications, including monitoring signals in otherwise inaccessible places, in vehicles, on animals, process plant, condition monitoring, for research and development rigs.
The addition of the TIO module to the range extends the scope of application from purely strain-gauge based devices such as load cells to any type of instrument, provided that it has a standard analogue output signal.
The addition of digital inputs and outputs allows remote switching and status monitoring, an extremely valuable extension of capability." The TIO is the latest instrument offered by Celsum Technologies, complementing their range of digital and analogue strain gauge conditioning and process control instruments, temperature controllers, rheological testing instruments, sapphire window optical process probes, subminiature load cells and pressure transducers, dataloggers and data recorders, made-to-order precision extrusion dies, customised engineering solutions and consultancy services.
