Technology Eltav utilizes wireless communication technology to allow the wireless monitoring of industrial valves in the process industry, thus eliminating costly and cumbersome hard-wired solutions. This technology has overcome a number of hurdles:   • Propagation   • Interference   • Security   • Standards   • Regulations   • Cost Eltav’s wireless application benefit with reliable and robust technology and drive interoperability among different manufacturers with direct benefit to the end consumer. Eltav’s choice is the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network, using worldwide license-free spectrum. This network is designed to be robust, reliable and cost-effective. It is also designed to use very little power. The monitoring system use a relatively short range wireless communication thus enhancing the security of the network. The communication network is self-organized and self-healing. This important character allows to reduce installation and maintenance costs while keeping high levels of availability. Eltav has ATEX certification, making it suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Click the image to enlarge.
