General Information:
•
The Bobe HF-MS System provides computer aided, cable-free measuring by replacing the cable
connection between the measuring device and the interface box or PC by radio transmission.
Depending on the environmental conditions you can bridge a maximum of 80m in the open air and
approx. 10m-15m in a hall.
•
The system currently exists for all measuring devices with a Digimatic interface and default OptoRS232
interface and for the Mahr EX 16 caliper or compatible measuring devices (for devices with an RS232C
interface upon request). You can operate a maximum of 99 measuring devices concurrently in a
system. A number is allocated to each measuring device allowing you to identify the individual
measured values correctly. (With receiver version 1.xx and sender version 1.xx, 2.xx or 3.xx you can
operate only eight measuring devices.)
•
A system consists of a
receiver
(HF-MS-M) which is connected directly to the PC, and at least one
sender
(HF-MS-Sx) which is connected directly to the measuring device. The transfer of measured
values is triggered by pressing the data button on the measuring device or sender (depending on the
measuring device type). The transfer of measured values from the receiver to the PC can be set by an
interface with MUX10, MUX50 or Bobe command set and has to be evaluated correctly by the PC
software.
•
The radio frequency is set to either (1) 868,300MHz, (2) 869,750MHz, (3) 869,2625MHz, (4)
869,800MHz or (5) 869,925MHz. The type plate shows what frequency your system uses. Make sure
that only devices with the same frequency work together and that no foreign device sends signals on
this frequency in a vicinity of 300m. Otherwise the data transfer might be faulty.
