Applications

Easy and accurate current measurement with clamp type

The following inquiries are increasing
An increasing demand for high-speed, high-accuracy detection and measurement of weak currents (such as instrumentation signals of equipment and ignition pulses of engines).
The combination of a high-precision clamp-type sensor and our measuring instruments makes it possible to detect and measure currents easily, accurately, and with a fast response time.

- To accurately measure engine RPM with weak current pulses for ignition.

- When detecting with a car's cigarette lighter socket, there are cases where measurement cannot be done properly due to noise.

- Detection using the OBD2 connector may cause an error mode or adversely affect engine control.

- With the increasing use of direct ignition with built-in igniters and coils without plug cords, it is necessary to measure weak pulse currents with high accuracy.

- Accurate detection and measurement of equipment instrumentation signals is needed.

- Want to detect and measure easily with less work.

Selection Points
Clamp type sensor
-　Non-contact clamp type: Easy sensor installation and no modification to the measurement target (e.g., cables, etc.) is required.
-　Compact and lightweight: Easy installation in confined spaces such as engine rooms and inside panels.
-　High-precision sensing of weak direct current

Measuring instrument
-　Variable trigger level function: Can be adjusted to match the ignition signal (SPD/SPDL)
-　Low-pass filter: Enables measurement without being affected by noise (SPD/SPDL)
-　Analog output for 0.5ms (TDP-49), 0.1ms (SPD), 1ms (PSV), 40ms (SPDL/PSVL) updates
-　CAN communication with 1ms (SPD/PSV) and 40ms (SPDL/PSVL) updates
-　Periomatic™ calculation method (TDP, SPD, SPDL) for high accuracy and fast response even at very low speeds
-　Factory setting of measuring instruments and creation of setting value table are also available
