Product Description
1.1
Principle Function
The APM 3DLinkPro is used for easy bi-directional transfer of data
between the APM 3DLevelScanner and a remote computer/system
Such data can be 4…20 mA signals, HART commands or proprietary
data for different purposes such as software upgrades.
1.2
Area of Application
An easy and reliable standard GSM connection (using standard GSM
frequencies) is available by using regular SIM cards for the
APM 3DLinkPro connection.
The APM 3DLinkPro is often used:
1.
Where wiring of a signal cable from the sensor to a processing
unit is not possible or too complex
2.
When customers require a very high degree of service, such
connectivity allows the supplier connect to the designated unit
and provide the necessary service whenever necessary.
3.
When customers wish to upgrade the unit, for example from
"APM 3DLevelScanner S" to "APM 3DLevelScanner M".
There is no limit to the range of the unit and properly authorized
personnel can access the product from any location in the world
where standard GSM communications exist.
1.3
Operation
The adjustment of parameters can be carried out for the instrument
via a Windows-based PC (with the appropriate version of the APM
3DLevel Manager software installed). A GSM modem (EZ10 GSM
modem), GSM antenna, power supply, and a USB to RS-232
converter to connect to the PC are required.
1.4
Application Examples
1.
Overcoming obstacles
The APM 3DLinkPro can be used to overcome extremely
difficult obstacles such as roads or rivers. The direct wiring of a
signal cable would be too complex and in some cases even
impossible if appropriate approvals are not granted.
