Newsteo, the specialist in wireless shock and temperature measurement, is now proposing a new tailor-made development service called "Your-Tracker". The clients submit their requirements to Newsteo, which then develops and produces the corresponding data logger, even for small series.

With considerable experience in the field behind it, Newsteo is launching a new service for its clients, called "Your-Tracker". This service is the latest in the offer of Newsteo Trackers, which enable the transport conditions for goods to be measured and registered for six months. The parameters to be monitored often vary from one application to another, which affects the means used. "Your-Tracker" enables the standard Tracker to be rapidly adapted to the client's needs:

• Adaptation of the battery type according to the autonomy sought
• Modification and repositioning of the integrated sensors
• Case adapted to the bulk, degree of watertightness or solidity sought
• Integration of radio and GPS/GPRS functions
• Certification with specialised laboratories

Newsteo's comprehensive expertise enables it to carry out this type of project to perfection, thanks to its control of the entire development and production chain. Nothing is left to chance, from the integration of the sensors to the adaptation of the data collector software (RF Monitor) and the mechanical adjustment of the product to its environment.

This unique service has been successfully implemented with several major French companies in the road, rail air and maritime transport sectors. It has given rise to a number of tailor-made versions, subsequently deployed in volume.

Standard and tailor-made Newsteo Trackers have been marketed for many years now, and have proved their worth in terms of reliability and efficiency. Fitted with multiple sensors, these sophisticated recorders constantly monitor the temperature, humidity, dew point, luminosity (making it possible to know if a parcel has been opened), shocks (± 6 g or ± 16 g accelerometer), free fall height and pressure. These data are recorded in the product's memory. When the parcel arrives, they are downloaded by radio transmission to a PC and a PDF report is automatically created. In a few seconds, the recipient of the parcel can know whether it has suffered any shocks or if the cold chain had been broken without even having to open it. The ability to pinpoint the origin of any problems arising during transport means that the situation can be remedied, and associated losses reduced.

Standard Trackers are marketed in Europe through a network of specialised distributors. The "Your-Tracker" service is proposed directly by Newsteo, which offers advantageous prices as from an initial series of around a hundred items for customisation.

The new Newsteo wireless telemeter will monitor the temperature and the deformations of the concrete during all its life.

Installation is done in few seconds, by binding to the reinforcement. Directly and fully embedded in concrete, it records at a set frequency the measurements. When the user wishes, he downloads them over the air. With the Builder long range antenna, the radio remains operational even under foundations or important works.

The download is done on a PC via an USB radio receiver (RF-to-USB key). All measurements are then stored in a database and displayed in the RF Monitor software. They can also be exported to Excel.

The Newsteo Builder comes in two versions:

• BLR temperature: the BLR can monitor temperature,
• BLR temperature and strain: the BLR also incorporates a strain gauge, for measuring the contraction or expansion of concrete

The Newsteo Builder is a simple and effective tool for the instrumentation of your constructions!

The Newsteo Relay is a relay that transmits an alarm of a Newsteo product (temperature warning ...) to an external alarm system.

Simply connect it to a PC's USB port and then all alarms detected by a logger can be individually selected and transmitted to the external alert device: an emergency rotating light, a siren, a telephone warning system ...

This product is a perfect complement to the Newsteo range to increase the possibilities of real-time alert.

Based on its experience in wireless measurement systems, Newsteo markets today a new range of products specifically designed for industrialists already having their measurement system and wishing to migrate quickly toward a wireless solution.

While “wireless” is now present everywhere in individual households, the industrialist did not yet have access to this new technology. With its new industrial wireless range, Newsteo provides the solution to this lack.

With its new range, named LGS, Newsteo offers different recorders / transmitters to convert any sensor into wireless sensor:

• LGS34: interfacing any 4-20 mA sensor
• LGS35: for 0-10 V sensor, with a version to interface -50mV to +50 mV sensors with an accuracy of ± 1.6 µV.
• LGS31: interfacing any potentiometrical sensor
• LGS39: logic interface (impulse sensor)

With this range of products, most sensors of the market can turn into wireless sensor: crackmetre, displacement, pressure, level, gas, rain gauge, flow meter, photoresistance, albedo meter, UV meter, potentiometer for angular measurement...

The installer simply plugs the sensor into the provided connector. Once the operation made, the Logger sends the measurements by radio to the supervision centre or store them in its embedded memory (Data Logger function). Installation and maintenance of the sensor are thus simplified.

The product has been optimized for use in difficult environment:

• IP65 aluminium enclosure (can be used outdoors) with its fixing system,
• Waterproof and robust M12 connector for connection to the sensor
• Half-wave antenna to increase the range,
• Large battery capacity (replaceable),
• Logger can be used from -40 ° C to + 85 ° C;

The New Newsteo website is online. Clearer, full of new features, our website has changed to better answer your expectations as a prospect or a Newsteo customer - giving you access more easily to our growing catalogue. As in the former version, each product and its detailed technical specifications are displayed, for nearly 50 references.

Thanks to this new tool, Newsteo hopes being closer to its customers and making easier their choice within the wide Newsteo wireless range of products.

Enjoy it !
