(Mahr Federal: Providence, RI) -- Mahr Federal has added a MarConnect Integrated Wireless data transmission system to its family of MarCator Digital Indicators at prices that compete with typical wired systems. Low-power data transmission technology has allowed the transmitter to be built into the digital indicator. The digital indicator sends its data to a small i-stick receiver, resembling a common USB flash drive. Just take a measurement and transmit your measuring data directly into MS Excel or via a keyboard code into any Windows program without cumbersome cables.

Integrating the transmitters with MarCator Digital Indicators eliminates expensive, power-hungry add-on transmitters that can make gauges bulky and interfere with portability. Each MarConnect i-stick wireless receiver supports up to eight digital indicators with a range of up to 12 m, perfect for most benchtop or workstation applications. And since i-stick receivers are so inexpensive, it's now possible to add a receiver to every workstation in the shop.
