Aircraft refueling is a very important part of the aviation industry. It needs a lot of engineering tools and machines to be involved in it. Actually refueling in the air is really a daunting task that needs a lot more attention. Due to the up-gradation of technological field, during these days, lot more of newly invented devices are used in order to perform the refueling tasks of the aircraft. Wireless industrial remotes are also used in the purpose of aircraft refueling. These newly invented aircraft refueling devices are much more effective than the previous machines concerning the fuel delivery of an aircraft.
The new wireless industrial aircraft refueling systems are meant specifically for all the industrial applications that require positive operator to machine contact. The use of these applications is more effective when used as process controls. In these types of remotes, a wireless trigger-switch is generally used in order to send RF command signals to the pump. The operator of these systems is more powerful and they are generally unencumbered by cables as well as wires. These operators are generally used in any special kinds of fuelling operation.
These systems are much more advanced. They also include different new technology such as frequency hopping technology. Frequency hopping technology ensures the interference free control during the refueling. This system allows spread spectrum radio link that prevents any other additional interruption from any other radio devices. While using the wireless systems in process controls, this Aircraft Refueling wireless system can shut down the whole system during any loss of signal.
These industrial refueling systems also include safety timer software to limit the switch enclosure duration before any automatic shutdown of the device.
To maintain the receiver ‘on’ condition periodic trigger pulses are required by the operator.
The modern wireless systems are designed with high power frequency operation that includes the frequency range of 902-928MHz FHSS. The transmitter has an output power of 100mW. The 56 bit DES encryption key methods are generally used in order to send transmission. These devices are also included with an internal antenna. However no visible antenna is required. The antenna has a normal power range of 500 feet. You can also get high power range antenna with the devices.
As they are constructed in a rugged weatherproof polymer enclosure, it always ensures the safety of the devices during the aircraft refueling. For getting more flexibility the system is empowered to work smooth in a temperature specification of minus 20F to 185F.
Normal rechargeable Lithium Ion cell is available to control these systems. The battery can work continuously for 30hrs. The battery can be charged up easily by using normal 12/24 DC charger. The charger is generally supplied with each product. In some modern Aircraft Refueling System, the battery is also available with audible low battery warning as well as flashing LED indicator. These wireless industrial remote controllers are also safe for using in hazardous environment. This increases the popularity of these devices.
There are so many manufacturers today, from where these Aircraft Refueling systems can be obtained very easily. Most of the reputable companies offer warranty and other accessories with their products.
BASE Engineering is a world leader in developing wireless industrial radio remote control technology. We design and manufacture extremely rugged wireless controls for most industrial applications. Our products are available fully epoxy potted with a waterproof rating of IP68 and they are ideal for using for different purposes that includes process controls, industrial petroleum, bulk transport and many more.
