- Sealed water-proofed enclosure for T24 Acquisition modules
- Allows for easy connection to sensor/load cell
- Provides battery holder and PSU for external power supply
- Easy connectivity with 2 part screw terminals
- Can provide battery backup to an external power supply
- Internal antenna provides up to 200m (650 ft) range
- Water-proofed IP65 NEMA4 enclosure
- Supplied as case only and requires acquisition modules - 'external' antenna options are recommended T24-SA(e), T24-VA(e) and T24-IA(e)
This module is a rugged enclosure for any of the T24 Acquisition modules and provides a battery holder and simple screw field terminals for easy wiring to a variety of sensors.
The module allows any of the T24 Acquisition modules to be powered either from the 2 x high capacity Alkaline D cell batteries or from an external supply. The batteries will act as backup if the external supply is lost.
The standard internal antenna supplied offers up to 200m (650 ft) range in an open field site.
The unit is supplied without the Acquisition Module (see T24-SA Strain, T24-VA Voltage, T24-IA Current). Upon ordering, it is recommended the 'external' antenna type (SAe, VAe, IAe) should be chosen to take advantage of the antenna supplied within this module.

- Q: What is an ACM?
A: An ACM (acquisition connectivity module) is a housing for any T24 Acquisition module providing IP65 protection, or higher with specialist glands, along with power and easy to use field terminals for connecting sensors.
- Q: What is the difference between the ACM and ACMi?
A: The T24-ACMi is physically smaller and provides power via 2 x AA batteries and has smaller terminal block style field connectors for wiring to acquisition modules. The T24-ACM although larger can provide power from an external power supply (5-18V) as well as 2 x D cell batteries which provide a higher battery capacity allowing for longer battery life.
- Q: What Acquisition module fits with the ACM and ACMi?
A: When using either ACM you will require an acquisition module that can accept an external antenna denoted by an ‘e’ on the end of the model name. Both ACM’s benefit from being fitted with a T24-ANTA which provides the best omni transmission range although higher gain and more directional antennas such as the T24-ANTC can also be fitted.
