TTJ Temperature sensor

TTJ Temperature sensor

One of the implemented features for fleet management devices is 1-Wire data protocol, which enables connection of temperature sensors. It is a perfect accessory for temperature monitoring.

TTJ IS A SOLUTION FOR FLEET MANAGEMENT TRACKER IN FOLLOWING CASES:

1. Thermostatic controls – maintain temperature near a desired set point.
2. Thermally sensitive system – receive alerts when temperature enters or leaves pre-defined value.
3. Consumer products – be assured that goods which you are delivering will maintain high quality.
   
   

Description
The TTJ Temperature sensor provides 9-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The TTJ communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. It has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and is accurate to ±0,5°C over the range of –10°C to +85°C. In addition, the TTJ can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply. Each TTJ has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple TTJ sensors to function on the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many TTJs distributed over a large area. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings, equipment, or machinery, and process monitoring and control systems.

TTJ technical characteristics

• Unique 1-Wire® Interface Requires Only One Port Pin for Communication.
• Each Device has a Unique 64-Bit Serial Code Stored in an On-Board ROM.
• Multidrop Capability Simplifies Distributed Temperature Sensing Applications.
• Requires No External Components.
• Can Be Powered From Data Line. Power Supply Range is 3.0V to 5.5V.
• Measures Temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F) ±0.5°C Accuracy from -10°C to +85°C.
• 9-Bit Thermometer Resolution.
• Converts Temperature in 750ms (max).
• User-Definable Nonvolatile (NV) AlarmSettings.
