The instrument can be powered from the mains or by battery and supports strain gauge/normalised signal and potentiometric sensors; it also includes a strain gauge simulator up to 50mV/V. Combined with a reference sensor the device provides a precision reference measurement chain for force or torque. The compact instrument can also be used for routine testing to measure and record isolation resistances and I/O resistances, and as a fault-finding tool for service engineers.
The TRANS CAL 7281 can store up to sixteen programs and has a data logging capacity of 30,000 measurements which can be shared and transferred to a PC with Burster's DigiCal configuration and data-acquisition software.
A dedicated version for reference measuring chain of compression load from 20N to 100kN with DKD/DAkkS calibration certificate is also available. The 72-REF-EN version uses the featured 7281 for the calibration of press-fit force measuring equipment and is typically used with Burster's high precision 8527 series sensor and is supplied with all connection cabling and DigiCAL PC software.
