Sensors
The VFC400-WiFi will accept any sensor from the ST100 product range, up to 3m length.
Communication
The VFC400-WiFi offers two means of downloading data
1. Via the built-in Micro USB socket and connection to a PC
2. Via WiFi connection to Control Solutions Online
The unit is configured via a PC using Control Solutions VTMC.
Power Supply
The same USB socket that is used for communication is also used for providing power to the VFC400-WiFi,
using an external 5V USB power supply. The AAA backup batteries maintain all functionality when USB power
is not connected. A long-life CR2032 lithium backup battery maintains essential functions if the AAA batteries
are empty and external power is not supplied.
The VFC400-WiFi will generate a detailed PDF report when plugged into a USB port of a PC. The PDF report
shows a summary of the trip, presents the data in chart and list format and also includes a day summary page,
showing an overview of the statistics collected. A CSV file of the data list is also available.
