Two new portable transducer indicators offer the engineer a choice of accuracy and function.
Two new portable transducer indicators offer the engineer a choice of accuracy and function.
The PD100 coming in at below GBP 200 and weighing only 270g has a 4.5-digit display and is compatible with most strain gauge based transducers including force, weight, pressure, displacement and torque sensors.
Configuration is simple via the five keys on the front panel: on/off, prog, tare, reset and chan.
It can be factory configured to operate as a single or 16 channel instrument, enabling multiple transducer calibration and reading.
Other features include peak and trough hold and 40h battery life.
Input range is 0-0.5 to 0-4.5mV/V.
The high-resolution high-accuracy TR150 is also simple to use with just six key options on the front panel: on/off, peak, trough, gross/net, hold and shunt/calibration.
Weighing just 260g, it features a 7.5-digit display as well as low battery warning.
The powerful TR150 offers three calibration options: a once-off auto calibration, entering the cell sensitivity and corresponding display value or, entering of offset and gain for corresponding display values.
Two separate ranges enable two parameters to be accessed at any one time: pounds/kilograms; tonnes/kilonewtons; high/low resolution; fast/ slow response etc.
The menu option enables the engineer to tailor the instrument's response to the actual application.
Input range is up to 50mV/V with accuracy to +/-0.005%.
An important innovation is the TR150's power saving facility, this offers up to 5kh of battery life when a 350ohm bridge is connected.
For the OEM these indicators can be supplied with a precalibrated and NAMAS traceable strain gauge sensor to offer immediate plug and play operation.
