Technical Description

The TX326 transmitter uses the Meteosat satellite system to provide one-way communications from a data collection platform (DCP) to a receiving station. Supported transmission rates are 100 (SRDCP) and 1200 (HRDCP) bps. This transmitter is used with our CR300, CR310, CR1000X, and CR6 dataloggers, as well as with our GRANITE measurement and control data-acquisition systems.

Because clock accuracy is critically important for Meteosat satellite telemetryt,he TX326 includes an embedded GPS receiver. The GPS receiver automatically corrects for clock and oscillator drift, allowinfgor longer intervals between service visits.

Detailed diagnostic information about the radio is also available for the field technician and various diagnostic uses. These diagnostic parameters include the following:

Latitude and longitude using the built-in GPS

Current battery voltage

Current temperature

Battery voltage before last transmission

Temperature before last transmission

Battery voltage during last transmission

Altitude of last GPS position

Time of last GPS position

Number of GPS fix misses

Time of last missed GPS fix

GPS receiver health and status

Failsafe tripped indication

Duration of last transmission

Forward power of last transmission
