Description

The T24-ACMi-TA is a high-performance wireless temperature transmitter designed for direct connection to K-type thermocouples. Housed in a rugged IP67-rated ACMi enclosure, it forms part of the Mantracourt T24 modular telemetry range and enables reliable, real-time wireless transmission of temperature data across a broad range of applications.

This module accepts a single K-type thermocouple input and supports a wide measurement range from -200 °C to +1300 °C (-328 °F to +2372 °F), delivering fast and accurate temperature readings in both ambient and extreme environments. It is particularly well-suited to construction, industrial heating, R&D, and predictive maintenance applications where embedded or remote monitoring is required.

Using a licence-free 2.4 GHz DSSS radio band, the T24-ACMi-TA transmits secure, interference-resistant data with a wireless range of up to 800 metres (2,600 feet) line-of-sight. The integral antenna and compact IP67 enclosure make it easy to install in harsh environments, while full compatibility with all T24 receivers—including handhelds, relay modules, PLCs, PCs, and the SensorSpace cloud platform—offers complete system flexibility.

Designed for long-term use in battery-powered systems, the T24-ACMi-TA features ultra-low power operation with configurable transmission intervals ranging from once per day to 200 samples per second. The module can be remotely placed into low-power sleep mode and reactivated over the air by other T24 devices, supporting efficient remote monitoring and power management.

Setup, calibration, and diagnostics are performed wirelessly using the free T24 Toolkit software, with calibration data stored internally to simplify field deployment and system integration.

Typical Applications

  • Embedded temperature monitoring in concrete curing

  • High-temperature process equipment and industrial heating systems

  • R&D and test laboratory setups

  • Predictive maintenance for rotating or high-stress machinery

Module transmits and receives, offering:

  1. Full error detection and correction

  2. Calibration and configuration via radio telemetry

  3. Ability to be switched from sleep to operating mode via radio

  4. Thermocouple calibration stored within the module

  5. Remote battery check

  6. Data encryption for complete security (128-bit AES)

Maximum range achieved in open field site with the T24 acquisition module at a height of 3 metres (9.8 feet) above ground and T24-HS held at chest height pointing towards the acquisition module. Specification at 3V supply at 25°C.

FAQ

Q What type of thermocouple does the T24-TCA support?
A The T24-TCA is designed exclusively for use with K-type thermocouples. It is not currently compatible with other thermocouple types.
Q What is the temperature range the T24-TCA can measure?
A The module supports a wide K-type measurement range of -50°C to +1300°C (equivalent to -58°F to +2370°F).
Q How far can the T24-TCA transmit data wirelessly?
A The T24-TCA transmits data wirelessly up to 800 meters (2600 feet) line-of-sight when using an external antenna. The range may vary depending on environment and antenna configuration.
Q Can I use this device in outdoor or harsh environments?
A Yes. When paired with optional IP-rated enclosures, such as the T24-ACMi-TCA, the transmitter is protected up to IP67, making it suitable for construction and industrial environments.
Q How many thermocouple inputs does the module support?
A The T24-TCA supports a single K-type thermocouple input.
