Network Handheld Strainmeter TC-35N
The TC-35N is a handheld instrument which captures and processes the digitised strain data from network modules. It can be used for checking the system on site and/or constructing a small measurement system. By adopting low-consumption type network modules, the number of connectable modules and extending distance between modules are enlarged drastically, and the construction of a comparatively larger measurement system is easily enabled.
Features
- Small, light and easy to carry
- 4 pieces of AA(LR6) battery operation – Easy battery exchange on site
- Drip-proof construction
- Built-in data memory
- Compact Flash Card can be used
- Built-in interval timer
- Control and data transmission by RS-232C interface
- Automatic measurement with sleep interval function
- Use of external DC power supply is available
