Figure 2: The Kaye ValProbe RT System
The ValProbe RT system has three main components the Base Station, the Loggers, and the
Console/ Docking Station.
The Base Station is the main communication link / hub between the Loggers and the Console.
The Base Station and the Loggers communicate with each other via a star or point to point
network using 2.4GHz frequency and a proprietary protocol which is compliant with
IEEE802.15.4 protocol. The communications range between any Logger and the Base Station
is 450 ft. (150 meters). Both the Loggers and Base Station utilize antenna diversity to provide
optimum RF signal strength and reliability.
The Loggers are battery powered using a 3.6V ½ AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery. Up to
25 Loggers and 50 sensors can be connected to a Base Station. The Loggers store the data in
their internal memory based on a User defined sampling rate and have a capacity of up to
100,000 samples per sensor. The Loggers also transmit, based on a User defined
transmission rate, the data to the Base Station.
The Loggers have a magnetic-based sensor element in their base, which is activated by using
the Wakeup device or the magnet inside the Base Station display to wake the Logger from
Shelf mode before running a Qualification or Verification.
