BlueSentry™ AD, data acquisition and control module

BlueSentry-AD data acquisition and control modules contain an 8 channel 16 bit AD converter (TI ADS8344), sampling analog signals and converting to a Bluetooth-enabled digital data stream.   The device also has two general purpose digital in/outputs and 2 FET power switches for controlling sensor power that can be configured over the same Bluetooth link using simple output commands.

These devices can be operated in many modes:

BlueSentry can be connected using Serial Port Profile directly to Bluetooth clients, giving computers and PDAs the ability to directly obtain data from the sensors.

 Our BlueLine access point can acquire, store, and display data over a LAN or the Internet from multiple ( 1 to 7)  BlueSentrys.

Our BluePort II and XP serial adapters can be used to automatically connect to BlueSentry, to enable serial controllers, PCs and other clients which do not have built in Bluetooth hardware .


Key features:

• Class I Bluetooth radio long-range operation, 333' (100m)*.              • External SMA Antennae option available (RN-800S-E)
• Sleep mode (11ma) while still connectable
• Up to 3khz data rates(binary mode, 1 channel ) 
• Selectable 1 to 8 channels of sampling
• Selectable data capture rates, from 1 Hz to 3Khz.
• Counter mode with settable voltage threshold setting
• Differential or single ended inputs

* 333'/100m range is dependent upon environment, number of users, and other wireless devices within immediate proximity.
