January 16, 2012 - Newport introduces wSeries Wi-Fi transmitters. The wSeries transmitters communicate on a standard Wi-Fi network which is an ideal and economical solution for facilities with an existing Wi-Fi network as well as new installations. Wi-Fi transmitters are available for Analog Voltage and Current (0-10V, 4-20mA), Temperature from digital sensors and dual Thermocouples, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure. The Wi-Fi transmitters are powered by choice of batteries or AC. The battery version comes with two ordinary alkaline C-Cell batteries that can last for two years depending on the frequency of readings.
The AC version comes with a universal AC adapter that operates on any voltage worldwide (110 to 240 VAC) and also includes an alkaline AA backup battery. A user can view charts and graphs, monitor and record readings from virtually any type of transducer over an Ethernet network or the Internet from any computer, tablet, or smart phone with a Web browser. A user can set alarms to be notified by email. Alarms can be sent to a single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones. The wSeries Wi-Fi sensors are designed for demanding industrial applications and harsh outdoor environments.
The electronics are protected in a rugged weatherproof, polycarbonate NEMA4/IP65 rated housing.
