Description
The TR150 Portable Strain Display Load Cell/Force transducer readout is a microprocessor based portable instrument designed to interface with any full bridge sensor with an output sensitivity of up to 50mV/V. Bridge resistances from 85?Ý upwards can be used with the TR150.
Configuration and calibration of the TR150 is achieved using the front panel push buttons to navigate through a very simple menu structure.
Features
- Powered by 2x AA internal batteries
- 7½ Digit Display with battery low, peak, trough, net & shunt calibration indication
- Compatible with most Strain Gauge Based Sensors
- Dual Range Facility
- Optional RS232 Communications
- Battery life of 5000 hours in low power mode with 350 ohm bridge connected
- Auto sleep facility
- Robust Construction – Sealed to IP65
User functions available on the TR150 include:-
- Range Selection
- Display Hold/Freeze
- Gross/Net indication selection
- Peak Hold selection
- Trough Hold selection
- Shunt Cal check
The TR150 is powered by two internal non-rechargeable AA alkaline batteries. The display provides the excitation voltage for the load cell, or strain gauge, and provides a programmable reading from the returned mV/V output.
Sensor Connections
The standard sensor connection is a 5 pin 723 series Binder connector. The sensor connector is also used as a charging socket, when the re-chargeable alkaline battery option has been ordered, the wiring for this is detailed below:-
PIN 1 +ve Excitation
PIN 2 -ve Excitation, -ve Charge Input
PIN 3 +ve Signal
PIN 4 -ve Signal
PIN 5 +ve Charge Input
