Abstract:
1. A sensor system, comprising: a least one voltage generator for conversion of non-electrical energy to electrical energy, at least one energy store connected to the voltage generator, at least one voltage converter having an input connected to the energy store and generating an output, at least one sensor for outputting a measured value from a monitored device, at least one transmitter configured for wire-free transmission of transmission messages which contain at least one measured value from the at least one sensor and an identification code related to the sensor which outputs the measured value, and a timer circuit configured to activate the sensor system to transmit at least one of the transmission messages, the at least one transmitter and the timer circuit being powered by the output of the at least one voltage converter, the sensor system being configured for periodically transmitting the transmission messages with a transmission frequency, wherein the transmission frequency is controlled by at least one of the timer circuit and the monitored device.
