TLC1

TLC1 Radio Telemetry Strain Gauge or Load Cell Digitiser is a convenient module that combines a strain gauge input channel (pressure, force, load, torque, etc) with a digitiser and a two-way radio transceiver operating in the license-free 868 or 915 MHz band. Standard firmware includes a comprehensive sleep/wake feature for maximum power saving capability, and action/event handling for alarm and control functions. For applications where the device needs to be mounted close to or inside the sensor, the TLC1 is available in a compact PCB modular format - model TSC Radio Telemetry Embedded Strain Gauge Digitiser refers.
