Description
The Accutech BR10 is the explosion proof version of our base radio, offering easy installation in Class I, Div 1 / Zone 1 hazardous environments. The unit automatically communicates with all deployed field units attached to it in a local area star network and makes the field data available to an existing SCADA network or host system through serial Modbus. Each base radio can accommodated up to 100 field units in a single network with data rates as often as 1sec on all measured points. Up to 256 wireless sensor networks can operate in the same area yielding unlimited scalability.
The BR10 comes with a PC-based configuration and diagnostics tool that minimises installation and maintenance efforts.

Applications
Used in any application where process variable measurement is hard to reach, costly to wire or hard to install. Accutech base radios can connect with our complete range of devices including pressure, temperature, flow, digital I/O, analog inputs, level, and more.
Any industry that operates processes at a distance and requires autonomous robust equipment that may require hazardous zone certification is a candidate for Accutech. Examples include oil and gas applications in upstream wellhead automation or pipeline monitoring, water and wastewater process monitoring and open mining operations. A wide range of other industries make use of Accutech base radios and field devices in applications that require long lasting autonomous process monitoring at a distance.
