Portable displays for P2 and P3 strain gauge sensors
Portable displays for strain gauge sensors: Force, torque, pressure, weighing
With their robust construction, touchscreen, intuitive operation, high flexibility, and high level of precision, the P2 and P3 can be used in a wide variety of applications.
In a nutshell :
- 1 input for 4- or 6-wire strain gauge sensor.
- Direct reading and dynamic measurements (peak, etc.)
- TEDS 0 and 1-wire compatible (plug-and-play sensors)
- Accuracy: 0.01% of full scale (display only)
- 5 kHz sampling with multiple filtering options
- 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen with a user-friendly interface and screen rotation function
- Multilingual interface
- Connectivity: USB (keyboard emulation), RS232 (VCOM), and USB key emulation for data logging (P3 only).
- Suitable for use in the harshest industrial environments, thanks to its machined aluminum housing and electronic design.
- Several accessories available, such as a stand, carrying case, etc.
The P2 and P3 are equipped with a 7.1 cm (2.8 inch) capacitive color touch screen. Their highly intuitive user interface allows for quick programming and easy operation by any operator.
Measurements can be displayed as bar graphs, smileys, or numerical values only.
On the P3, a sequence editor allows full control of the display and measurement sequence.
P2 :
|
Typical applications:
- Force measurement
- Pressure measurement
- Torque measurement
P3 :
|
Typical applications:
- Testing with advanced functions (break, etc.)
- On-site recording of measurements with time stamp for later analysis (data logger)
- Automation of a measurement sequence
The P2 and P3 offer several data transfer solutions:
When connected to a computer, they are recognized as a standard USB keyboard, allowing for easy data transfer without the need to install drivers.
Only on the P3:
Logger function: With 4 GB of internal flash memory, the P3 allows for significant data storage.
Multiple ways to export data:
- CSV files: the P3 detects itself as a USB drive, allowing CSV data to be easily retrieved.
- Directly to a computer (Excel or other software) via keyboard emulation (no driver required).
TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) is a technology that stores sensor-specific information, such as calibration data and model details. When connected to the display, the sensor is automatically recognized and configured, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
Key benefits:
- Plug & Play – Quick and error-free sensor installation
- Improved accuracy – Integrated calibration ensures precise measurements
- Simplified management – No external documentation or manual parameter entry required
« Standard sensors are also compatible, with manual configuration »
The P2 and P3 are equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable Li-Ion battery, providing over 10 hours of continuous operation and up to 250 days in standby mode.
The graphical interface features a battery level indicator, which provides real-time information on battery life and remaining capacity.
To optimize energy efficiency, the device includes a brightness adjustment mode and an automatic standby mode.
« Maintenance is simplified thanks to its standard battery, which is easily accessible and quick to replace if necessary. »
The housing is made of machined aluminum and offers numerous mounting options thanks to 4 M5 threads and mounting accessories.
Its ergonomic design provides a perfect grip.
