Measurement and control engineering forms the foundation of modern buildings as well as energy, environmental, and emissions technology. Wherever temperature, pressure, humidity, emissions, or flow rates must be reliably measured and automatically controlled, sensors, controllers, and communication modules ensure stable processes—often in 24/7 operation and under demanding conditions.
Building automation, smart metering, heating and air conditioning technology, and emissions monitoring equipment all have one thing in common: they rely on precise timing devices and a reliable power supply to keep measurement chains stable over the long term.
Industry Requirements
Systems often operate in environments characterized by:
- significant temperature fluctuations
- exposure to humidity, dust, or vibration
- wireless communication (e.g., LoRa, BLE)
- long service life with little to no maintenance
Real-time responsiveness, data accuracy, and long-term reliability are key priorities—both in stationary installations such as heating controllers, smart meters, and CO₂ sensors, as well as in mobile measuring devices including firefighter CO₂ meters, chimney sweep measuring instruments, and portable emissions monitoring systems.
A measurement system is therefore only reliable if timing stability and Battery performance are precisely matched to the specific application.
Battery Solutions for Measurement and Control Engineering
Depending on the application, energy demand, temperature profile, and required service life can vary significantly. For building technology, energy systems, and environmental monitoring, the following Battery types are particularly suitable:
A) Primary Cells for Stationary Installations
Ideal for fixed, hard-to-access systems with long service life requirements—such as heating controllers, wireless sensor networks, smart meters, or emissions monitoring equipment.
- CR E Cells (CR 2 E, CR 123A E): Ideal when devices must operate autonomously for several years.
- ER Technology (LiSOCl₂): Designed for extremely long operating lifetimes and very low self-discharge—perfect for remotely read outdoor or environmental monitoring points and for use in hazardous (explosion‑risk) areas.
B) Secondary Cells for Mobile Measuring Devices
For regularly used, portable devices, rechargeable systems are required.
- Lithium‑Ion Batteries (18650 / 21700): High energy density for extended operating times.
C) Custom Battery Packs
- Many measurement and control systems require specialized connectors and cabling, impact‑resistant housings, protection circuits, and optional BMS functionality.
- Custom Battery Packs: Pack design and certification tailored to specific application requirements.
D) Certifications
Devices in this industry are deployed globally and therefore must comply with a wide range of international standards, including UN 38.3, IEC, UL, PSE (Japan), and KC (Korea).
Jauch supports customers in the selection, coordination, and implementation of all required certifications worldwide.
Frequency Control for Precise Timing
To ensure reliable measurement, control, and communication between Sensors, Microcontrollers, and Wireless Modules, stable Frequency Control Products are essential—especially in environments subject to temperature fluctuations or electromagnetic interference.
A) Standard for Building and Energy Technology
- 32.768 kHz Quartz Crystals (JTX310 / JTX110): Extremely low power consumption
- 32 MHz / 26 MHz (JXS32 / JXS21): Robust performance under temperature fluctuations
B) For Environmental & Emissions Technology
- TCXOs / VCXOs: Deliver the highest frequency stability under changing outdoor and environmental conditions
- Differential Oscillators: Minimize EMI interference in densely packed control systems
Why Both Belong Together
Power supply and timing are functionally interdependent:
- Fluctuating supply voltage or temperature can compromise frequency stability
- Unstable timing can lead to measurement errors and misinterpretation of sensor data
- An unsuitable Battery can cause wireless dropouts, data loss, or premature system failure
When Battery design and Frequency Control Products are considered together, systems are created that deliver reliable measurement and control over many years—whether in a boiler room, within the Smart Grid, or in demanding outdoor measurement environments.
