Base Radio Loggers powered by ingenuity

WI-BRL

Summary
The iPro™ Base Radio/Logger (BRL) is the heart of the wireless instrument
network. It communicates with all of the deployed wireless sensors on the
same RF channel in a localized area. The BRL can act as a standalone intel-
ligent data logger via a hot swappable compact flash card or interfaces with
your existing RTU/PLC and/or the Probe Wireless Instrumentation Manager
for network management.

Multiple 4-20 mA outputs and discrete switch outputs are available for easy
interface to existing I/O. One Base Radio can handle with up to 100 wireless
inputs. The Base Radio/Logger mounting is available as a standalone cage
assembly, mounted inside an explosion proof housing, or mounted inside a
NEMA 4X enclosure or integrated into any one of the iPro™ Intelligent Logging
systems (iPro™ 1000, iPro™ 3000, or iPro™ NEMA4X)

Analog and/or Discrete Output Options

When existing data management infrastructure favors the use of traditional
4-20 mA and contact closure outputs, the RS-485 WIM data stream can be
converted to analog and discrete values with DIN rail mounted modules.

Remote Antenna Options

The base radio is available with remote antenna options that are described in detail
in the data sheet entitled High Gain Antennas. Impedance matching is necessary for
optimal antenna performance and FCC compliance, so only high gain antennas offered
by Probe should be used.

Wireless Instrument Manager (WIM) Configuration & Diagnostic Software Option

Although its not required the WIM configuration software provides access to the Base Radio and wireless sensors for initial configuration, ongoing configuration, network
management, and field unit diagnostics. The versatile BRL/WIM is easy to use and enables remote configuration with administrative security functions. WIM has a client/
server architecture. Using a laptop and Base Radio in conjunction with self powered field units creates a portable deployed diagnostic capability for any integrators and
technical professionals.
