Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking a telemetry system capable of collecting sensor data from a roof bolting machine during operation. The system must be able to operate in high vibration environments and include universal signal conditioning to support strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, and other compatible sensors. The contractor shall provide a radio frequency telemetry system, including a single channel analog radio frequency transmitter for acceleration, a single channel analog radio frequency transmitter for strain, an inductive power converter with pick up coil, a Model 1051 inductive power supply, and a custom inductive exciter coil with mounting hardware and integral receiving antennas. The system shall be delivered in fully functional condition.
Key features of the job include:
* Providing a radio frequency telemetry system capable of collecting sensor data from a roof bolting machine during operation
* Operating in high vibration environments
* Including universal signal conditioning to support strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, and other compatible sensors
* Delivering the system in fully functional condition
* Providing design, machining, and assembly of a clamp-on transmitter housing containing the transmitters and power converter
