Description
The WSN-3202 is a versatile device designed for various applications requiring reliable wireless communication and data acquisition. It supports up to 4 analog input channels and 4 digital I/O channels, providing flexibility in connecting different sensors and actuators. Each channel is 16-bit, single-ended, ensuring precise data capture and transmission.
This device operates using the IEEE 802.15 wireless communication standard, offering a robust connection for transmitting data over distances. It boasts a maximum range of 300 meters when used with the WSN-9701 Ethernet gateway, making it suitable for large-scale deployments.
Powering the WSN-3202 is convenient, with options for four 1.5 V AA battery cells or an external power supply ranging from 9 V to 30 V. Its efficient energy use allows for a battery life of up to three years, assuming a 60-second sampling interval, minimizing maintenance needs. Additionally, it features an external sensor power terminal, enabling the direct powering of connected sensors, further simplifying the setup.
A single gateway can support up to 36 WSN-3202 nodes, allowing for the creation of extensive sensor networks. Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the WSN-3202 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for existing and new deployments.
The device comes with various part numbers (780997-02, 780997-12, 780997-01, 780997-11), accommodating different configurations and requirements, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of monitoring and control applications.
