  1. RapidSense

    RapidSense

    • Fully encapsulated
    • Leaded gauges for easy of installation

    RapidSense

    Fully wired and encasulated strain gauge for ease of installation, particularly in areas where access is restricted. Can be installed in a few minutes using cyanoacrylate adhesives. Custom gauge assmblies can be manufactued to suit particular requirements.

    The encapsulation offers machanical, chemical and moisture protection in a variety of environments, The RSE gauge may be used without further protection for short to medium term installations and for long term use when used with extra protective costings.

  12. LC 11 - Calog

    LC 11 - Calog

    The Calog- Loadcell Calibrator is ideal for testing 4 and 6 wire loadcells, checking insulation breakdown, weighing system calibration and simulation.

    LC 11 - Calog

    It can test a loadcells' zero balance, input resistance, output resistance, bridge balance, 50V DC insulation test from bridge to shield, bridge to housing and shield to housing.

    The Calog- Loadcell Calibrator is a hand-held precision calibrator specifically designed for load cell testing, including insulation breakdown and weighing system calibration or simulation. Simply connect a strain-gauge load cell to the spring terminals and press "TEST LOADCELL". The backlit graphics will display four or six wire, zero balance, input or output resistance and bridge balance. It can then carry out a 50 VDC insulation test form bridge to shield, bridge to housing and shield to housing.

    For system testing and calibration the Calog- Loadcell Calibrator can simultaneously measure mV (with mass display), excitation voltage and mA. In source mode, used for load cell amplifier pre-calibration testing, it can source mV (with mass display), measure excitation and measure mA. In simulate mode it sources a mA signal to the control room or SCADA. The display can be in mA, mA and mass or mass and mA.
