Introduction / Overview
The T24 Telemetry range of products provide remote measurement of a variety of inputs allowing the results to
be relayed to a computer or PLC or to feed the data into other T24 modules that provide their own outputs such
as analogue, ASCII serial or LED display for example.
The radios operate on the licence free 2.4GHz band and are approved for FCC, IC and European use.
The flexible transmission rates and low power usage allows for long battery life for remote modules.
Free Toolkit software provides simplified configuration of modules and other free software provides logging and
visualisation functionality for Windows PCs.

T24 Telemetry Basic Principles
There are some basic radio settings and concepts that should be understood to effectively configure, deploy,
optimise and troubleshoot T24 telemetry systems.
Transmitters & Receivers
Although all of the T24 modules are in fact transceivers and transmit as well as receive, they tend to mainly
operate as either a transmitter or receiver so we will choose to describe them as Transmitters and Receivers.
The T24 system was designed so that Transmitters are configured to send out messages at a user defined rate.
Receivers can then use this data to analyse, display or perform other actions depending on their function.
A PC and base station are only required to configure the modules although they may be part of a data collection
system. Once configured the T24 modules operate autonomously and only minimal control over the Transmitter
modules is usually required, by Receiver modules, such as sleeping or waking.
Transmitters
These are the sensor modules that measure strain, voltage, temperature etc. and send messages containing the
sensor value and status information at regular intervals for use by Receiver modules or for delivering to a PC via a
base station.
Because these modules need to be very power efficient to operate on batteries they operate in three distinct
modes. See Transmitter Module Modes of Operation later.
Receivers
These modules use messages provided by Transmitters and have functionality such as handheld displays, large
displays, analogue outputs and relay modules. These modules may also offer control over Transmitter modules
such as sleeping or waking.
Radio Channel and Group Key
To be able to communicate, two radio modules must share some basic settings. There are ways to learn these and
to recover unknown settings and these are discussed later in the pairing section.
Radio Channel
This is the frequency that the radio operates on. T24 radio bandwidth is divided into 15 channels. Modules must
be on the same channel to be able to transfer messages.
Group Key
Group keys are a way of isolating groups of modules even if they are operating on the same radio channel. This
can improve efficiency and also offer security because no radio module can affect another or see their messages
unless they share the same group key.
A group key is defined by the user and is up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Group keys were introduced in v3.0 radio firmware in March 2015. New radio modules will work with older radio
modules but group keys cannot be used.

Configuring Multiple Modules to Use the Same Radio Settings
Please note that when you pair to a remote module the base station adopts the radio channel and group key of
the remote module.
To set the group key for a set of remote modules you can either:
Pair to each one in turn and set their radio channel and group key
or
Configure the base station by holding the shift key and clicking the Pair button on the Home page. Then
configure the base station to the required radio settings then use the tool on the radio settings advanced
page to pair to each module in the set to configure their radio settings to match the base station.
ID and Data Tags
To configure a module its ID is used in communications. This is a unique 6 character identifier, such as FF1234,
which is allocated at the factory. This ID is hexadecimal so can consist of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F.
If a module is a Transmitter it sends messages without broadcasting its ID. It identifies messages by using a Data
Tag. This tag is a 4 character hexadecimal number and can be configured by the user. When modules leave the
factory this data tag is set to the last 4 characters of its ID.
When Receiver modules or software want to use messages sent by Transmitter modules they identify the
message they want by this Data Tag.
The reason Transmitter module messages are identified by a Data Tag rather than the unique ID is that this allows
replacement of a Transmitter module without having to reconfigure the many Receiver modules that may be
using its messages. It is only necessary to configure the replacement Transmitter module with the same data tag,
radio channel and group key and the rest of the system will not notice the difference.
Transmitter Module Modes of Operation
Normal
Normal mode involves taking a reading and sending a message then entering into a very low power state before
taking the next reading to maximise battery life.
Because it is not possible to communicate with the Transmitter module during this low power state a
‘configuration’ mode is required.
Configuration
Configuration mode forces the modules to pause in sending their messages and to disable their low power state
to enable configuration to take place. This is easily achieved by ‘Pairing’ when using the T24 Toolkit software.
Once configuration is complete the modules will resume their ‘normal’ mode operation.
Sleep
The last mode is sleep. Modules can be sent to sleep by other modules or they can go to sleep themselves when
their messages are no longer being used. See Sleep Delay Settings later.
When sleeping, the modules can be awakened on demand by other modules or software via the base station.
