Detectors and Sensors

Sensors of environmental conditions, security, fire loop and the state of digital devices as part of the SNMP system of remote monitoring

Sensors and detectors are part of the SNMP remote monitoring and control system consisting of TTA-08 controllers and EMS/NMS TTA Monitor. Sensors and detectors provide conversion of environmental parameters or various physical states into electrical signals. These signals are processed by the SNMP controller of the TTA-08 Ethernet network remote monitoring system.

The TTA-08-GSM device version supports the ability to remotely monitor the states of sensors and detectors in the GSM network.

Below are brief descriptions of sensors and detectors that we recommend for use with the TTA-08 device.

1-Wire temperature sensor based on DS18B20

The digital thermometer based on the DS18B20 in a protected housing (metal sleeve) is the most affordable sensor and provides temperature measurements in °C.

The DS18B20 digital temperature sensor communicates via a 1-Wire bus, requiring only one data line (and ground) to communicate with the CPU TTA-08. Additionally, the DS18B20 can be powered directly from the data line (parasitic power), eliminating the need for an external power supply.

Each thermometer DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, allowing multiple DS18B20s to operate on the same 1-Wire bus.

The sensor can be used to monitor ambient temperature, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings and equipment, monitoring and process control systems.
