The USB base station is required for the configuration of all T24 modules and is greatly simplified by the free T24 Toolkit software for Windows supplied upon purchase. Data can also be captured by the base station from an unlimited number of T24 Acquisition modules to provide a wireless data logger.
The integral antenna offers up to 100m (325 ft) range in an open field site. An industrial base station (T24-BSi) is also available with a different antenna providing up to 200m (650 ft) range. This device also offers RS232 and RS485 interfaces.
For software developers, a standard Windows DLL and COM driver are available to enable data collection from T24 acquisition modules.
The licence free 2.4GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology offers high integrity, error free communications which can co-exist with other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and Zigbee®. ETSI, FCC and IC approvals.

- Q: Can base stations integrate to other communications protocols?
A: Our SCADA software package ‘Visual Link’ interacts with all of our devices
allowing a PC to enact the conversion. In addition, with the use of the .DLL and
COM driver provided with the T24 Tool Kit, users can create tunnelling between the data provided by the base station to the PC and another communications protocols.
- Q: Once an acquisition module has been configured, will it require regular connections to the base station?
A: No. Once an acquisition module has been configured it will remain stable for its lifetime providing its operating limits are not exceeded.
