MicroRidge Modules and Remotes

Mobile Modules and Remotes (transmitters) send measurement data wirelessly to Bases. Mobile Modules are battery powered and connect to calipers, micrometers, digital indicators and other measurement tools. Remotes are powered by an external power source and connect to gage interfaces, height gages, scales, etc.

MobileCollect Wireless Transmitters

 

Digital Remote – Used when users have a device with Mitutoyo compatible output used in a non-mobile setup that needs to connect to the wireless system.  Examples include – digital indicator in a fixed mount or stand, QM height gage, or an EC Counter display unit.

  • Transmitter input is compatible with all data cables using the 10-pin Digimatic connector
  • Ability to connect external read switch (hand switch, foot switch, etc.) to the Remote so users can send a user-defined command to a Digimatic output device
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Range is 133 feet
  • Powered by an external AC adapter

 

Mini Mobile Module – Used to capture measurements from most digital and RS-232 handheld gages such as calipers, micrometers, digital indicators and others.

  • Securely attaches to all handheld gages
  • LEDs positioned to provide highly visible user feedback
  • User replaceable gage cable
  • Range up to 133 feet
  • Battery life in excess of 500,000 readings
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Automatically turns itself off after each reading. No power switch required
  • Read button is rated for 1 million cycles
  • Gage cable in lengths up to 72″

 

Command Mobile Module –  Used when needed to initiate the gage readings by commands sent from a Base rather than pressing the read button on the Mobile Module.

  • Same features as the Mini Mobile Module. Battery life will be influenced by the use of the Command mode
  • Responds to read requests and sleep cycle commands from a Base
  • Allows users to provide complete remote control of a Mobile Module

 

RS-232 Mobile Module – Supports RS-232 gages not supported by the Mini Mobile Module or the Command Mobile Module.

  • Same features as the Mini Mobile Module. Battery life will be influenced by RS-232 interface requirements
  • Use for RS-232 devices that are not supported by the Mini Mobile Module or the Command Mobile Module

 

RS-232 Remote –  Used when users have an RS-232 serial device, such as a gage interface or a scale, in a non-mobile setup that they want to connect to the wireless system.

  • The serial port looks like a serial port on a PC and can accept data from any RS-232 serial device
  • Ability to connect external read switch (hand switch, foot switch, etc.) to the Remote so users can send a user-defined command to a RS-232 serial device
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Range is 133 feet
  • Powered by an external AC adapter
