Abstract

A transmitter 110 physically comprises a (local) sensor 120, normally located within a transmitter casing 130, for sensing a first parameter, a data transmission unit 140 for providing a wireless transmission to a receiver 150 of the telemetry system 100, and a coupling unit 170 for coupling one or more remote sensors 200i to the transmitter. While the transmitter is designed to transmit signals from the local sensor, it also allows to further or alternatively transmit signals from one or more remote sensors coupled to the coupling unit. This allows changing monitoring from one parameter to another parameter by simply coupling another remote sensor to the coupling unit.
