NEWPORT's new Wireless Thermocouple Connector Series features stand-alone, compact, battery powered thermocouple connectors that transmit their readings back to a host receiver up to 120 m (400') away.
Each unit can be programmed in the field to work as a type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N or C calibration connector. When activated the connector will transmit readings continuously at pre set time interval that was programmed by the user during the initial setup. Each unit measures and transmits: Thermocouple Input Reading, Connector Ambient Temperature, RF Signal Strength and Battery Condition to the host and is displayed on the PC screen in real time using the provided software.
NEWPORT’s new Wireless RTD connector Series features stand-alone, compact, battery powered RTD connectors that transmit their readings back to a host receiver up to 120 m (400') away.
Each unit can be programmed in the field to
interface directly with and 3-wire 100 O, 0.00385 or 0.00392 style sensor. When activated the connector will transmit readings continuously at pre set time interval that was programmed by the user during the initial setup. Each unit measures and transmits: RTD input reading, connector ambient temperature, RF signal strength and battery condition to the host and is displayed on the PC screen in real time using the provided software.
 | | NEWPORT’s new Wireless Industrial Thermocouple and RTD Probe
Assemblies feature complete, ready
to install, pre-wired sensor and
wireless transmitter package. Each
battery powered wireless unit will
transmit measurement back to a
host receiver up to 120 m (400')
away. Each unit comes preprogrammed
to operate as a Type
J, K, T, E, R*, S*, B*, C* or N
thermocouple or RTD. When
activated the unit will transmit
readings continuously at pre-set
time intervals that has been
programmed by the user during the
initial setup and installation. Each
unit measures and transmits:
process temperature, ambient
temperature, wireless link signal
strength and battery condition to the
host and is displayed on the PC
screen in real time using the
provided free software. *Please consult engineering for R, S, B and
C thermocouples. |
When used with host receiver model UWTC-REC1 data from up to 12 wireless thermocouple connectors can be received and displayed. Each unit includes free software that converts your PC into a strip chart recorder or data logger so readings can be saved and later printed or exported to a spread sheet file.
When used with host Transceiver model UWTC-REC2 wireless data from one connector can be re-transmitted out of the receiver by a wired connection as a analog voltage, current or thermocouple signal to interface with a controller, PLC or data acquisition board.

Wireless Receiver for Web-Based Monitoring of Temperature
The NEWPORT® UWTC-REC3 receiver lets you monitor and record
temperature over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software-just your web browser. The receiver is an independent node on the network sending and receiving data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured from a web browser and can be Password protected.
The UWTC-REC3 can trigger an alarm if variables go above or below a setpoint that you can determine. Your alarm can be sent by e-mail to a single user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to Internet enable cell phones and PDA’s. The NEWPORT “Mail Notifier” software is a free and easy-to-use program for this application.
The UWTC-REC3 receiver serves active web pages to display real time
temperature readings and charts. You can also log data in standard
data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic. NEWPORT offers a free, user-friendly program for logging data to Excel. NEWPORT offers an OPC Server software ($295) that makes it easy to intergrate the UWTC-REC3 wireless receiver with many popular data acquisition and Automation programs.
