BAINAARROBAO a ii Radio Telemetry Radio Telemetry 1.1 Overview Radio telemetry provides the means of observing the temperatures your product experiences as it passes through the oven, in real-time, as it happens; with no physical connection between data logger and analysis software. 1.2 System Elements Radio telemetry modules. 1. Receiver, 2. Data logger, 3. Transmitter. In addition to the data logger, which is discussed in Chapter 2, the system hardware comprises radio transmitter, receiver and thermal barrier. Radio Telemetry 4.2.1 Transmitter The transmitter module is pending approval to national specifications as follows;
USA FCC Part 90: 1996 Clause 90.217 Specifications Frequency 464.074 to 464.875 MHz Effective radiated 70 mW power Range 200 metres open space, typically 30 metres when in oven. Temperature range Oto 70C Humidity 85% RH non condensing 1.2.2 Receiver The receiver passes the digital data directly to the PC via the Coms cable
(supplied). It must be tuned via the dip switches to the same frequency as the radio. {t has a signal strength meter and no external controls. USA FCC Part 15 NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. i 2 Radio Telemetry 1.2.3 Thermal Barriers Thermal barriers are available for both standard width and narrow width data loggers.

Selecting a Method from the Library Note: With the exception of methods employing a Date Time trigger where the trigger's Date and Time is adjustable after recall, recalled methods cannot be modified. 1. In the Logger Reset dialog box, click on the down arrow in the Current Method drop down list box. If the required method is not listed define the method as shown in the Defining Methods section of the Software Manual . Otherwise proceed to Step 2 below 2. Inthe Current Method drop down list box, click on the appropriate Radio Telemetry Analysis method. This should automatically select the Radio Telemetry option from the Telemetry options. 3. ifthe selected method requires a Date Time trigger, type the date and time in the appropriate spin boxes a Radio Telemetry 11 Checking Battery Status Nickel Metal Hydride batteries discharge slowly even when not in use and will require charging if left for more than three weeks.

Inthe Process Select dialog box select a process. The process cannot be changed during the real time run. on 12 Radio Telemetry 8. Click OK. The PC is ready to receive data Unless the method defines a manual start via the Start button the data acquisition will start and the oven start will be aligned when the trigger is received. 1.5 Installing the System into the Thermal Barrier Before proceeding ensure the thermal barrier, and where appropriate, the heatsink have cooled sufficiently since the last test. A good seal between thermal barrier and thermocouple cables is essential if the data logger is to be protected. 1. Examine the barrier's mating surfaces ensuring they are clean and undamaged. 2, Plug the thermocouples into the Data Logger's numbered sockets, ensuring the probe/socket numbers correspond to those used to define probe numbers and locations. 3. Open the thermal barriers lid and put the data logger in place ensuring the Start/Stop buttons are visible. Lay the thermocouple cables across the sealing material to exit the barrier at the cutout, ensuring they are side by side and do not cross other cables. 4, If the start of data acquisition is to be manually triggered, push and hold down the green Start button until the green LED flashes at the sampling interval. 4. Close the lid ensuring a good seal around the thermocouple cables. 1.6 Placing the System in the Oven See section Placing the System into the Oven of the hardware manual. _S_s Radio Telemetry 13 1.7 Collecting Data in Real Time Real Time data collection operates in a very similar way to normal operation of the software, however there are some additional features and restrictions in the way the software operates which are described in the following sections. 1.7.1 Analysis Modes All the analysis modes described in the Software Manual are operational in real-time analysis mode. There are, however, some restrictions on the analysis mode options. These are:
Analysis Modes All Modes Zoom available, but only via the Graph menu Zoom dialog box or holding down the right mouse button to teveal the analysis options All data, including any acquired before Oven Start, is included in the analysis calculation therefore calculate by zone cannot be implemented Options selected via the Analysis Options dialog box cannot be changed during data acquisition. Not available when align probes is selected. See Defining Product and Oven Section of the Software Manual Calculate Peak Differences. 14 Radio Telemetry 1.7.2 Graph Options - Lost or Missed Data In the event that some data is lost during data transmission the Graph can be configured to display the data in the color of choice or simply left blank. From the menu select Graph.. Options.. Preferences. Graph ere In the Real Time Graph Lost Readings list box select the option of your choice. Plot At Last Reading will fill the gap where data has been missed with the last good reading received. To set the color of the trace for missed readings from the Menu select Customize .. Colors, highlight Lost Readings and select the color of choice. Leave Blank will simply leave a gap in the graph for the missed data. The total number of missed readings for a run is shown on the Standard Report. Radio Telemetry 15 1.7.3 Real Time Tool During a real time run information on the status of the data logger is available on the Real Time Tool. This shows the loggers battery status, internal temperature and memory status. It also shows the number of data packets received.

These options are only available from the Advanced.. button on the File Save as window at the end of a real time run Radio Telemetry 17 Poe ae rere a 5] Aecept Last Good Reading Save at sets the intervals at which data is saved. To save every data point set this to 1. Lost Readings allows a choice of how lost readings, if any, are saved. The choices are;
Save as Bad Data will mark any lost data in the file as N/A. This data will not be used in calculations for the Anatysis Views and will appear as blank on the graph. Accept Last Good Reading will fill is any gaps in the data with the last good reading received. This data will be used in calculations for the Analysis Views and will be displayed on the graph. 1.8. Repeat Profiling Once a Real Time run is complete the data for the run is saved on the PC. However the data is also stored in the logger which can be downloaded for comparison with the real time data if necessary. To perform another Real Time run without downloading or reseting the logger use the Listen Made in the Tracker Software.
