Industrial Wireless Temperature Sensors for Real-Time Machine Condition Monitoring

The SVT200-T miniature wireless temperature sensor is a ruggedized, industrial-grade telemetry node purpose-built for continuous machinery and structural asset condition tracking. Featuring a radically optimized micro-power hardware architecture, this ultra-compact and lightweight sensor node achieves a continuous operational battery lifespan exceeding 10 years. This unparalleled power efficiency eliminates the steep maintenance costs traditionally associated with frequent battery replacements in large-scale industrial IoT (IIoT) infrastructure deployments.

Engineered to maintain measurement integrity across volatile environmental swings, the SVT200-T operates reliably across a wide working thermal envelope ranging from -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). Out of the box, the sensor executes automated telemetry data transmissions to a centralized edge gateway every 15 seconds, delivering an exceptional measurement accuracy of ±0.3°C paired with a ultra-fine 0.01°C resolution—all achieved without requiring manual field calibration.

True Surface Contact Temperature Measurement Mechanics

A critical engineering distinction of the Broadsens SVT200-T is its direct-contact surface temperature measurement capability. Unlike generic wireless sensors that simply log ambient internal enclosure temperature, the SVT200-T features a high-sensitivity temperature sensor integrated circuit (IC) positioned directly at the sensor's machined metal base.

The durable metal base plate is structurally optimized for permanent or temporary installations. It can be secured using industrial heat-conductive epoxy or detached, cleaned, and relocated for iterative diagnostic monitoring routines across diverse manufacturing sectors—including heavy steel mills, chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, automated paper production lines, cement kilns, and transportation systems.

Specifications

Reliable low-power wireless communication

Scalability is deeply embedded within the Broadsens wireless monitoring landscape. Multi-point thermal profiling is achieved seamlessly by deploying arrays of SVT200-T nodes across wide machinery assets or complex facility zones. The SVT200-T utilizes a robust 2.4GHz wireless transmission protocol, achieving an open line-of-sight signal transmission distance exceeding 100 meters (300 feet).

To safeguard facility-wide signal integrity and ensure global compliance, the entire hardware assembly is fully certified under FCC, IC, CE (EU), TELEC, KCC, NCC, WPC, and RCM regulatory standards.

The sensor node is engineered with an incredibly low average current draw of just 4.3 µA—a calculation that accounts for both active sensor polling and RF packet transmission windows. Power is drawn from a specialized industrial CR2450W battery cell, ensuring long-term chemical and physical stability under sustained high-temperature exposures up to 105°C.

Flexible Mechanical Mounting Topologies

To accommodate varied industrial mounting configurations, the wireless thermal sensor is available in two distinct physical housing enclosures:

1. SVT200-T (Standard Base): Optimized for low-profile, direct-bonding installations utilizing high thermal-conductivity structural adhesives or industrial epoxy.

2. SVT200-T-F (Flanged Base Case): Features an integrated mechanical mounting flange that supports rugged bolt-down or screw-mounting options combined with a layer of standard thermal heat paste. This configuration allows maintenance crews to easily unbolt the tracking hardware during scheduled machine overhauls, or deploy them in high-vibration applications where adhesive bonding is impractical.

Powerful real time measurement ability

While the standard telemetry update interval is programmed for a highly stable 15-second cycle, the Broadsens hardware platform supports custom measurement intervals to track fast-changing environmental behaviors. For specialized test applications—such as tracking rapid thermal expansion curves inside environmental testing chambers or monitoring high-speed chemical reactions—sensor can be pre-programmed to measure temperatrue as fast as 3 seconds.

Multi-sensor measurements at edge-computing gateway

A single Broadsens edge-computing wireless gateway can handle concurrent, parallel data streams from up to 100 individual SVT200-T temperature sensors simultaneously. This massive node density allows maintenance engineers to map complex thermal gradients across an entire production assembly line or plant facility using a single hardware collection point. Data aggregated at the gateway layer can then be analyzed locally via edge-diagnostics software, or integrated into master SCADA systems, private enterprise clouds, and predictive maintenance management dashboards.
