Wireless Modular Force & weight measuring systems - Measurement data transmission without cable

Does your application impose special requirements with regard to the installation situation and flexibility of force sensors, with cable routing being particularly difficult? Our solution to this is SIKA Wireless Modular.
Many of our force sensors and load cells can be equipped with this special module for wireless measurement data transmission.
The strengths of the system can be clearly seen in applications in which cable connection to the sensor is not possible, in which there is a large distance between the sensor and the display, or in which the sensor location must be constantly changed.

A total of up to 32 sensors can be combined in a network for simultaneous monitoring and operation. Distances of up to 200 metres between the sensor and the receiver are possible. The Wireless Modular System, which is powered by an integrated battery, transmits the measurement data to the receiver at a frequency of 433 MHz.

A system consists of a force sensor or a load cell equipped with a Wireless Modular module. The receiver consists of an antenna and connecting cable with either a USB or RS232 connector. A matching charger that can be connected directly to the sensor to recharge the battery of the Wireless Modular System after around 1,000 operating hours is provided. We recommend using our WinWiMOD software for optimal connection of the sensors to your PC. You can also process the measurement data according to your specific wishes, for example with a PLC, or read the values directly on the SIKA FMP2E on site. See our force Sensors and load cells catalogue for more detailed information and technical specifications.

We can equip the following sensors with the Wireless Modular system for you: FC2S, FC8S, FTC4, FD200, FTCE, FTCETM
