A full‑bridge–only instrument joins the TC‑37 series!
This handheld, full‑bridge strain meter retains high resolution of 1 microstrain (1 με) and a wide measurement range up to ±30,000 microstrain (±30,000 με), while achieving a lower price by optimizing functions from higher‑end models.
Thanks to its low‑power design, it enables long‑term measurements of about one year on AA alkaline batteries. A built‑in temperature sensor records ambient temperature alongside the measurement data.
In addition, onboard data memory and a sleep‑interval function support long‑term automatic measurements.
USB and RS‑232C interfaces are provided for configuration, measurement, and data acquisition.
It also includes a GL–water‑surface depth offset function for water‑level applications.
Use case with a transducer (Water Level Transducer)
When combined with the Water Level Transducer, the system enables long‑term, automatic water‑level monitoring for landslide observation in mountainous areas and at sites that are difficult to access. The “water‑surface depth offset” function lets you set an arbitrary reference water level and measure deviations from that reference accurately. By aligning initial values across multiple locations, you can achieve efficient and highly reliable data collection.
