These equipments designed and manufactured by engineers with over fifteen years of experience in Government Missile systems, are simplified, accurate and advanced versions of the military equip- ment but designed for industrial applications in measurement, control, and data analysis. Industrial operation and tests heretofore impossible or made with great difficulty and dubious accuracy, may now be made reliably and practically-re- sults being presented in directly meaningful numbers and graphs. Typical applications have been: 1. Internal strain measurements of rotating equipment, chains, vehicles, and projectiles-eliminating slip rings and wires. 2. Measurements of vibration, acceleration, strain, temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, electrical current and voltage, some to destructive proportions, may be made under difficult conditions such as at high electrical potentials, in fluids, steam, or high velocity gases. 3. Measurement under actual operating conditions of vehicles and machinery without restricting their movements or other- wise disturbing their normal functions. 4. Analysis of data to: determine resonant frequencies, make strain-weighted fatigue-life predictions, determine stress con- centrations, locate operating hot spots, and determine power losses. 5. Control and feed-back links in automatic control systems for performing functions such as: laying of submarine cable, ice detection and melting, operation of protective circuit breakers, and over temperature control of electric motors. Many models of measurement, control, telemetry, and analysis equipment are available from stock for immediate delivery. Custom modifications are supplied in 30 to 60 days and special purpose equipment is usually supplied within 00 days. Your inquiries are invited and special configurations of our telemetry products or simplified low cost instrumentation of almost any nature will be quoted upon request. INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONETICS CORPORATION Conrad H. Hoeppner President WHAT IS TELEMETRY Radio Telemetry provides a method for transmitting data by radio and presents a do voltage output to a readout equip- ment or recorder. Radio telemetry may be most advantage- ously employed where wired connections are impossible, un- safe or technically undesirable. I. E. C. Telemetry Systems are FM/FM. That is, both the bridge exciting carrier and radio carrier are frequency modu- lated. Frequency modulation provides better noise rejection and greater freedom from interference under adverse en- vironments than amplitude modulation. Radio Telemetry is a novel tool to industry for scientific measurements. Its range of application is limited only by the user's imagination. Some suggested application areas are: Rotating Machinery - Slipringless Data Acquisition Distant Logging Center Data Transmission Patient Monitoring in Physiological Studies Kiln Temperature Measurements TRANS- DUCER Transmission Lines Troublesome Wire Links Vehicular or Sled Tests Railroad Equipment Studies Hazardous Locations Radio Telemetry has been developed by and primarily em- ployed in government associated programs. Industrial ap- plications have been retarded and restricted by technological inadequacies and financial considerations. I. E. C. aims to meet the requirements of industry-ACCURATE MEASURE- MENT AT LOW COST. A telemetry system consists of a completely transistorized transmitting station and a receiving station. Transmitters are potted in Epoxy Resin to provide rugged construction for environmental extremes. Standard systems utilize the 88 me-108 me band. However, special systems are available for operation in any band from 66 me-110 mc.

Signal generators with high AC output voltage and direct coupled connections should also not be used. The discharge of static electricity by high voltage sparking from persons or moving objects such as belts, chains, etc., should not be allowed to contact solid state devices or permanent damage may result. All encapsulated INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS CORPORATION units contain transistors or other parts which may be damaged by any of the above described applications of voltage. Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 General The voltage controlled transmitter operates in the 88 to 108 mcs band. The unit has seven solder connecting pins to which all external connections must be firmly soldered. It may be exposed to temperatures from -40?C to +125?C during its normal operation; it may be immersed in common lubricating oils; and it may be subjected to shocks and continuous acceleration as great as 100 g without an external case. If greater shock or acceleration is desired, it should be contained in a firm steel case to support it on either of its flat sides during the high acceleration periods. Con- nections to the transmitter are made for input signals, batteries and antennas. Proper connections are clearly labeled on the accompanying drawing. There are two adjustments on the transmitter. The larger screw adjustment is for changing the radio frequency. The smaller adjustment is for zero offset provisions on the input voltage. In both cases as the screw is rotated clockwise the frequency of the carrier or the subcarrier respectively is increased. There are no limits which may damage either of these adjustments. The radio frequency slug travels completely through the transmitter and the offset adjustment is a 25-turn potentiometer which has a slipping clutch to prevent damage at each end. Input Connections Three signal input connections are provided. If the input impedance of the source is low, 10 ohms or less, it should be connected between ground pin #1 and input pin #2. If a high impedance source is to be used, pin #2 should be solder connected to ground pin #1 and the voltage applied from this junction to pin #3. Sources of intermediate impedance may be used either (a) between pins #1 and #2 or (b) between pin #3 and pin #2 by adding an appropriate shunt resistor in case (a) between pins #2 and #3 or in case (b) adding the proper series resistor between pins #1 and #2. Resistors should be chosen to bring the subcarrier to center frequency. Additional subcarrier frequency adjustments may be made by means of the 25-turn potentiometer. If a series resistance is used between the voltage source and pin #3 any magnitude of voltage may be measured. Furthermore, the zero offset adjustment range may be varied by connecting a resistor between pin #3 and pin #2 or pin #1 and pin #2. Radio Frequency Considerations The transmitter and its leads should be fixed securely to their mounting sur- faces. Any motion between the transmitter and a closely spaced metal part will produce frequency modulation of the self-excited oscillator. This does not disturb the data until it becomes large enough to saturate the receiving discriminator. If motion be- tween the transmitters, its leads and the mounting surface cannot be avoided then it is desirable to place insulating material between these parts and the mounting surface. Shielded leads to the input should be used whenever possible and the shield connected to ground pin #1. If it is not possible to use shielded leads, the radio frequency output may be coupled to the input circuit. If the intensity is great enough some of the radio voltage will be rectified and provide a zero offset to the subcarrier. In this case the offset adjustment should be changed after mounting of all the leads and antennas is complete. Usually no antenna is required on the transmitter if the receiv- ing antenna can be placed in proximity to the transmitter. If greater range is desired short antennas (10" long) may be connected first to one pin, then the other, or both. A short bit of experimentation is usually required to provide a satisfactory trans- mitting antenna in cases where the transmitter is buried in metal engines, kilns, etc. Antennas longer than 10" may change the transmitter frequency excessively, particularly if they are mounted close to metal parts. Any length of wire may be used without damage to the transmitter but care should be taken to mount it properly for satisfactory oper- ation at the desired frequency.

Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Battery: The transmitter is designed to operate at a voltage of 9 volts. Proper operation may be obtained over the voltage range from 10 volts to 7.5 volts. An internal regulator stabilizes the voltage to the transmitter when the battery voltage varies. The regulator is an integral part of the temperature compensation system, consequently, the best stability with change in temperature is obtained when oper- ated at 9 volts. For most stable operation as large a battery as the application permits should be used. Mercury cells and rechargeable nickel cadmium cells are recommended for their voltage stability. Battery leads should be as short as possible. If long leads are used, shielded wire is recommended; the shield should be connected to the ground of the transmitter. Battery voltage should always be measured under load, preferably at the transmitter when the batteries are connected through the length of wire which will be used. Batteries should have a current rating of at least 10 ma. Under-rated batteries or nearly discharged batteries may have a high internal impedance which will cause parasitic oscillations of the transmitter. If multiple cells are connected for a battery, all joints must be soldered. Pressure contacts will usually prove unsatisfactory. The proper polarity should be observed in connecting the battery to the transmitter. If the battery is connected in reverse, excessive current will be drawn and internal overheating will soon damage the transmitter.

The voltage output from a single active strain gage, battery excited, results in a modulated RF signal which is received by .an FM receiver. The five channel unit pictured above is complete with rechargeable batteries. A single 1.5 volt cell connected in series with a 60 ohm strain gage (gage factor 2) and a 390 ohm resistor produces a voltage variation of 0.2 my from 500 millionths of an inch per inch strain which typically results in a 0.8 volt output of the IEC receiving station. Advantages: There is no need for bridge balancing or capacitance balancing. Transmitter power consumption. is extremely small with only 2.5 ma of current required from a 1.5 volt battery or from our new 0.3 V battery. Standard arrangement provides from 10 to 20, 000 cps frequency response. The physical size of the unit and versatility of form factor permits measurements requiring RF transmitted data heretofore impossible. Environment: The temperature operating range is -40?C to 125?C. The unit is completely encapsulated in an impervious epoxy resin rendering the components positive protection from: stress, moisture, dust, thermal and mechanical shock, and tampering. It is currently in use in rotating equipment at speeds of 100, 000 r. p. m.

Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Approved For Release 2001/09/03 CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Stress Analysis The STRAINTEL transmitter was created primarily as a design tool to render dynamic measurement of loaded structural members. As such it is invaluable for final determinations of imposed loads, adequacy of designs, and analysis of situations to be engineered. The transmitter is useful in operating alarms at points distant from the monitor which are not easily linked by wire. In this type of application, any number of transmitters properly tuned can be serviced at one point by a single receiving station. A strain gage need not necessarily be a part of this system as any device impressing the required voltage at the transmitter will create the necessary alarm at the receiver. This alarm may be acted upon automatically by instal- lation of the desired auxiliary equipment. Installation of the proper transducers will permit the surveillance of pressure, heat, temperature, mechanical movement, stress, strain, load, weight, acceleration, light, etc. In certain applications, thermocouples produce sufficient electrical energy to operate the unit WITHOUT THE NEED OF BATTERIES! Model R61 PL Receiving Station Shown Above Top Panel: STRAINTEL Receiver Model R-65 Bottom Panel: Discriminator Model 61-D Bottom Right Of Picture: STRAINTEL Transmitter Model T-63 Since the STRAINTEL does not include a subcarrier oscillator, the receiving station need not incorporate a discriminator. Considerable savings result on system cost. The receiving stations utilize standard tuners modified to improve sensi- tivity and linearity and, to reduce noise. They are mounted in standard IEC cabinets. As a result, a customer can procure a STRAINTEL low cost system with the advantages of telemetry, and at a future date, incorporate a discriminator for reception of data from transmitters utilizing a subcarrier oscillator.

INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONETICS CORPORATION Conrad H. Hoeppner President WHAT IS TELEMETRY Radio Telemetry provides a method for transmitting data by radio and presents a dc voltage output to a readout equip- ment or recorder. Radio telemetry may be most advantage- ously employed where wired connections are impossible, un- safe or technically undesirable. I. E. C. Telemetry Systems are FM/FM. That is, both the bridge exciting carrier and radio carrier are frequency modu- lated. Frequency modulation provides better noise rejection and greater freedom from interference under adverse en- vironments than amplitude modulation. Radio Telemetry is a novel tool to industry for scientific measurements. Its range of application is limited only by the user's imagination. Some suggested application areas are: Rotating Machinery - Slipringless Data Acquisition Distant Logging Center Data Transmission Patient Monitoring in Physiological Studies Kiln Temperature Measurements TRANS- DUCER TRANS- DUCER Transmission Lines Troublesome Wire Links Vehicular or Sled Tests Railroad Equipment Studies Hazardous Locations Radio Telemetry has been developed by and primarily em- ployed in government associated programs. Industrial ap- plications have been retarded and restricted by technological inadequacies and financial considerations. I. E. C. aims to meet the requirements of industry-ACCURATE MEASURE- MENT AT LOW COST. A telemetry system consists of a completely transistorized transmitting station and a receiving station. Transmitters are potted in Epoxy Resin to provide rugged construction for environmental extremes. Standard systems utilize the 88 me-108 me band. However, special systems are available for operation in any band from 66 me-110 me.

Signal generators with high AC output voltage and direct coupled connections should also not be used. The discharge of static electricity by high voltage sparking from persons or moving objects such as belts, chains, etc., should not be allowed to contact solid state devices or permanent damage may result. All encapsulated INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS CORPORATION units contain transistors or other parts which may be damaged by any of the above described applications of voltage. Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 General The voltage controlled transmitter operates in the 88 to 108 mcs band. The unit has seven solder connecting pins to which all. external connections must be firmly soldered. It may be exposed to temperatures from -40?C to +125?C during its normal operation; it may be immersed in common lubricating oils; and it may be subjected to shocks and continuous acceleration as great as 100 g without an external case. If greater shock or acceleration is desired, it should be contained in a firm steel case to support it on either of its flat sides during the high acceleration periods. Con- nections to the transmitter are made for input signals, batteries and antennas. Proper connections are clearly labeled on the accompanying drawing. There are two adjustments on the transmitter. The larger screw adjustment is for changing the radio frequency. The smaller adjustment is for zero offset provisions on the input voltage. In both cases as the screw is rotated clockwise the frequency of the carrier or the subcarrier respectively is increased. There are no limits which may damage either of these adjustments. The radio frequency slug travels completely through the transmitter and the offset adjustment is a 25-turn potentiometer which has a slipping clutch to prevent damage at each end. Input Connections Three signal input connections are provided. If the input impedance of the source is low, 10 ohms or less, it should be connected between ground pin #1 and input pin #2. If a high impedance source is to be used, pin #2 should be solder connected to ground pin #1 and the voltage applied from this junction to pin #3. Sources of intermediate impedance may be used either (a) between pins #1 and #2 or (b) between pin #3 and pin #2 by adding an appropriate shunt resistor in case (a) between pins #2 and #3 or in case (b) adding the proper series resistor between pins #1 and #2. Resistors should be chosen to bring the subcarrier to center frequency. Additional subcarrier frequency adjustments may be made by means of the 25-turn potentiometer. If a series resistance is used between the voltage source and pin #3 any magnitude of voltage may be measured. Furthermore, the zero offset adjustment range may be varied by connecting a resistor between pin #3 and pin #2 or pin #1 and pin #2. Radio Frequency Considerations The transmitter and its leads should be fixed securely to their mounting sur- faces. Any motion between the transmitter and a closely spaced metal part will produce frequency modulation of the self-excited oscillator. This does not disturb the data until it becomes large enough to saturate the receiving discriminator. If motion be- tween the transmitters, its leads and the mounting surface cannot be avoided then it is desirable to place insulating material between these parts and the mounting surface. Shielded leads to the input should be used whenever possible and the shield connected to ground pin #1. If it is not possible to use shielded leads, the radio frequency output may be coupled to the input circuit. If the intensity is great enough some of the radio voltage will be rectified and provide a zero offset to the subcarrier. In this case the offset adjustment should be changed after mounting of all the leads and antennas is complete. Usually no.antenna is required on the transmitter if the receiv- ing antenna can be placed in proximity to the transmitter. If greater range is desired short antennas (10" long) may be connected first to one pin, then the other, or both. A short bit of experimentation is usually required to provide a satisfactory trans- mitting antenna in cases where the transmitter is buried in metal engines, kilns, etc. Antennas longer than 10" may change the transmitter frequency excessively, particularly if they are mounted close to metal parts. Any length of wire may be used without damage to the transmitter but care should be taken to mount it properly for satisfactory oper- ation at the desired frequency. In the event the transmitter is to be operated in oil or oil is allowed to 1 on }emit the radio fre uency tuning hole should -sh be filled at tQv~i~d g ~t ~~ 'b'i31 9-h?79f% 11~0441M1091Q-4lraining from the hole, thereby changing the radio frequency. Approved For Release 2001/09/03 : CIA-RDP76-00451 R000200010010-4 Battery The transmitter is designed to operate at a voltage of 9 volts. Proper operation may be?obtained over the voltage range from 10 volts to 7.5 volts. An internal regulator stabilizes the voltage to the transmitter when the battery voltage varies. The regulator is an integral part of the temperature compensation system, consequently, the best stability with change in temperature is obtained when oper- ated at 9 volts. For most stable operation as large a battery as the application permits should be used. Mercury cells and rechargeable nickel cadmium cells are recommended for their voltage stability. Battery leads should be as short as possible. If long leads are used, shielded wire is recommended; the shield should be connected to the ground of the transmitter. Battery voltage should always be measured under load, preferably at the transmitter when the batteries are connected through the length of wire which will be used. Batteries should have a current rating of at least 10 ma. Under-rated batteries or nearly discharged batteries may have a high internal impedance which will cause parasitic oscillations of the transmitter. If multiple cells are connected for a battery, all joints must be soldered. Pressure contacts will usually prove unsatisfactory. The proper polarity should be observed in connecting the battery to the transmitter. If the battery is connected in reverse, excessive current will be drawn and internal overheating will soon damage the transmitter.
