UHF Telemetry

GME has recognised the need in both rural industry and local government for a simple, robust telemetry system which can provide cost effective remote control and monitoring facilities. The GME Telemetry System features a range of innovative software and hardware products with a high level of system integrity. The status of remote sites can be monitored continously with audible and visual alarms raised for any change in conditions. Commands can be sent to control outlying equipment at any time. The system can eliminate the need for personnel to make time consuming visits to outlying stations.

The GME Telemetry System is built around several major components:

• The TX3600T UHF telemetry transceiver
• A CIU Control Interface Unit
• The 'Super-Vise' control software program

Up to 99 outstations can be controlled and monitored from a Base Station.

The CIU (Control Interface Unit) provides a protected interface between the outstation transceiver's ports and any external sensors or remote control functions. An outstation's CIU can action up to 8 output commands and accept up to 8 ON/OFF inputs, of which 4 may be analogue

Use Telemetry to remotely:

• Check flow rates, dam and tank levels, control pumps and other equipment
• Monitor temperature meters, flow rates, door alarms and electric fences
• Monitor Solar Panel Systems, voltage and current, battery supply.

Overview of sample installation with 5 remote monitoring sites

TX3600T	AK3600
Designed and manufactured to ISO9002 standards the TX3600T is based on GME's successful range of UHF transceivers. It has been specifically built to operate in a harsh environments.	The AK3600 kit converts a standard TC3600T into a conventional talk through radio. It is specifically designed to provide a voice channel to assist in the setting up and operation of remote telemetry installations and provide communication links to outlying monitoring locations.
RCU3600	CIU8/CIU4
The RCU3600 is a 4 x 20 character Remote Control Display Head designed to be connected to a TX3600T for use in the control and monitoring of the GME Telemetry System when a dedicated PC is not in use. The RCU3600 can be used in conjunction with the Super-Vise software as a secondary control point in a vehicle. The unit provides for basic functions in interrogating and controling inputs and outputs and decoding of alarms from outstations.	Housed inside a weatherproof plastic case the CIU is designed as an interface between the TX3600T and external wiring. The built in opto-isolation feature protects the CIU and TX3600T from voltage transients and external sensor failure. The state of the inputs and outputs is indicated by individual LEDs.
