Telemetry System-9390P08

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Infrared Telemetrics Inc. 1780 Birch St., MI 49930-1072 (CAGE Code: 3M7H3) for the purchase of a Telemetry System-9390P08 for development of seismic potential forecasting methods.

Description

This contract action is for the purchase of a Telemetry System-9390P08 for Development of Seismic Potential Forecasting Methods.

The contractor shall provide a radio frequency telemetry system capable of collecting sensor data from roof bolting machines during operation. The system shall include all required components, accessories, and documentation needed for operation. The objective is to collect data from the rotating drill steel of a roof bolting machine, where traditional wiring is not practical. The system must be capable of operating in high vibration environments, such as internal combustion engines, automotive transmissions, and rotating machinery, and must be demonstrated to maintain reliable data collection under these conditions. The system must also include universal signal conditioning to support strain gauges, load cells, accelerometers, and other compatible sensors. The system shall be capable of operating in high vibration environments and shall include signal conditioning to support strain gauges and accelerometers. The data collected will support efforts to identify structurally unsound roof conditions and improve mine safety.  

The contractor shall provide the following components:

• One single channel analog radio frequency transmitter for acceleration

• One single channel analog radio frequency transmitter for strain

• One inductive power converter with pick up coil

• One Model 1051 inductive power supply

• One custom inductive exciter coil with mounting hardware and integral receiving antennas

The contractor shall provide design, machining, and assembly of a clamp-on transmitter housing containing the transmitters and power converter. The housing shall be designed to mount directly to the drill steel.  The system shall be delivered in fully functional condition.
