Descrição Técnica
The TX312 uses the GOES satellite system to provide one-way communications from a data collection platform (DCP) to a receiving station. This satellite transmitter complies with the High Data Rate (HDR) specifications. Supported transmission rates are 100, 300, and 1200 bps. Because clock accuracy is critically important for GOES satellite telemetry, the TX312 includes a robust, TCXO-based real-time clock and a GPS receiver. The TX312 is compatible with most of our data loggers. (See the Compatibility information.)
GOES System
The GOES system is administered by the National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service (NESDIS). NESDIS assigns addresses, uplink channels, and self-timed/random transmit time windows. Self-timed windows allow data transmission only during a predetermined time frame. Random windows are for applications of a critical nature (e.g., flood reporting) and allow transmission immediately after a threshold has been exceeded.
TX312 and SAT HDR GOES ComparisonThe TX312 replaced the SAT HDR GOES in 2005. The TX312 provides the following advantages over its predecessor, the SAT HDR GOES:

Additional Compatibility Information
Environmental Enclosure
The TX312 transmitter should be housed in an ENC16/18 environmental enclosure. Customers can order the 19332 and 19336 Antenna Cable/Bulkhead accessories to have Campbell Scientific punch a special bulkhead hole in the enclosure and install 17” cables for the Yagi and GPS antennas.
Power Supply
Typical power supply is a BP12 12 Ahr or BP24 24 Ahr battery, CH100 regulator, and an SP10 or SP20 solar panel. A user-supplied deep-cycle rechargeable battery should be used when it is difficult to replace the batteries or the system's power requirements are large. The deep-cycle rechargeable battery should have at least a 60 Ahr capacity, and be trickle-charged with an 20 W solar panel.
