Instruments with wireless Bluetooth® technology
The advantage of our instruments with Bluetooth® Wireless technology
Wireless connectivity provides greater freedom of action and more flexibility for the operator requested to execute measurements. New solutions can also be implemented for control-ling components using specific instruments or positions. Here are some of the highlights:
• The solution is totally integrated into the instrument
The wireless Bluetooth® transmitter is fixed on the electronic chart of the instrument and no further accessory is required. The Sylvac instrument with Bluetooth® Wireless technology that you receive is ready to be connected. Most of our competitors claim to offer wireless solutions, which are not really wireless solutions, or which require an external element to be acquired which is often fragile and costly! Our integrated system also has the advantage of not being sensitive to liquids or dirt.
• Transmission distance
The maximum distance between the instrument and the peripheral device receiving the values is generally between 5 and 15 meters, depending on the configuration of the premises and any potential disruptive influences. Given that a wired USB connection is limited to 7 meters, the transmission range of our instruments with Bluetooth® Wireless technology is therefore greater than wired connections most of the time!
• Autonomy
Sylvac’s technological achievement was to offer a solution with energy-efficient Bluetooth® Wireless technology so that our instruments powered by a standard lithium battery could remain connected and used for several weeks, even several months. This was achieved thanks to our patented measurement system (Sylvac System) which only needs minimum energy. On request our agent can give you an estimate of the battery service life of your instrument taking your specific usage conditions into account.
• Duplex Transmission
Sylvac instruments are currently the only instruments able to communicate bidirectionally by Bluetooth® Wireless technology with the peripheral to which they are connected. This means that they can both send values and information and receive and interpret them. The best example of this is the transmission from the computer of a zero reset command for the instrument. This ensures the
synchronisation of the value displayed on the instrument and on the peripheral device in order to limit the risks of error.
• Freedom of action at the price of a wired connection
One important factor to consider when selecting an instrument is of course its price! Our Sylvac instruments with Bluetooth® Wireless technology also offer, as well as the features listed above, the benefit of not costing more than a traditional wired digital instrument. Therefore they can be used everywhere as replacements for wired instruments.
How to connect our instruments with Bluetooth® Wireless technology ?
Flexibility is one of the watchwords that characterise our Sylvac instruments with Bluetooth® Wireless technology. They can be connected to a computer running Windows, to our D300S and D400S display units and to a Smartphone or Apple or Android tablet.
