Jekyll Electronic Technology is pleased to announce the launch of a new weatherproof version of its Telemodem 2 telemetry system.

This new range is ideal for data acquisition applications where the communications device needs to be situated in remote, rural and exposed locations.

The devices are robust and battery free, overcoming the high maintenance and costly downtimes of traditional battery powered modems.

One of the main advantages of the Telemodem 2 is that it uses zero power technology.

This allows the modem to be powered directly from the telephone line, rather than batteries or mains power.

No extra telephone lines are needed, which reduces costs further still and this technology is highly suited for use with low power, battery powered and even solar powered monitoring equipment.

Problems associated with battery-powered modems including moisture ingress, corrosion and battery reliability are avoided using the new Telemodem 2.

The new rugged design ensures data integrity and increases product reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

One of the first uses for the new weatherproof Telemodem 2 Freedom was for traffic monitoring in rural areas.
