The Canary Systems^® WRMT-VW-24S is a Wireless Remote Station designed to monitor vibrating wire sensors. The Remote Station does not contain a data logger and does not require pairing with a Base Station; instead, it can be connected via a wireless network directly to a PC that is running MultiLogger™ software and serves as virtual datalogger. The WRMT-VW-24S contains a Canary Systems VW Comm Module, Canary Systems^® MicroMux or MiniMux multiplexer, and SGX 5150.

The VW Comm is a vibrating wire interface designed to automatically monitor a variety of instruments, including vibrating wire, flowmeters, linear potentiometers and 4-20mA, among others. The excitation and measurement parameters are programmable to support all commonly used vibrating wire instruments. The VW Comm Module also supports reading YSI44005 type thermistors to provide sensor temperature measurements, and supports other thermistors or temperature devices as well.

In addition to the vibrating wire and thermistor input capability, a single-ended voltage up to 2.5 VDC can be measured. A high accuracy 2.5 VDC reference is also provided for powering other sensors such as RTDs and linear potentiometers. The VW Comm can also read the power supply voltage and internal temperature. The VW Comm provides 1 sensor input. The optional MicroMux or MiniMux multiplexers provide 4 and 16 additional channels of VW sensor inputs, expanding the channel measurement capability to 4 or 16 sensors, respectively.

The SGX 5150 provides connectivity to a deployed wireless 802.11b/g network and comes with a 2.4GHz 9 dBi Yagi Antenna.
