The UWXL Series industrial wireless
transmitters from OMEGA offer
unparalleled flexibility for process
measurement applications. Capable
of ranges to 450 m (1500’) line of
sight (LOS), the UWXL transmitters
are designed for a variety of
applications, including temperature,
infrared temperature, relative
humidity, process transducers with
standard voltage or current outputs,
as well as pH. Thermocouple
models are user-configurable for

Dust- and

Water-Tight

any of 9 calibrations, while RTD
units are compatible with both

0.00385 and 0.00392 curve Pt100
sensors. UWXL transmitters are
programmable to transmit data at
intervals configurable from once
every 2 seconds to every 2 minutes.
Transmitted data includes the
process measurement along with
the ambient temperature, RF signal
strength and battery condition.
Software provided with each model
can display this information in real
time. This free software allows you
to use your PC as a multi-channel
meter, recorder or data logger; data
can also be exported to a standard

UWXL transmitters are compatible

with a wide variety of OMEGA
wireless receivers. UWTC-REC
receivers are available with optional
analog output, alarms and display,
while the UWTC-REC-NEMA
receivers add a NEMA rated
enclosure. Receivers can accept up
to 48 transmitters. Receivers with
analog outputs can also retransmit
data through a wired connection,
as an analog voltage, current or
thermocouple signal, to interface
with a controller, PLC or data
acquisition interface.
