It’s pretty obvious what you need to stop a speeding railcar carrying a 64-ton load (the 2001 average, according to the Association of American Railroads). You need brakes. Very good brakes, on all eight wheels. You also need topnotch instrumentation to ensure that those brakes are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do, all at the same time. Our rugged, portable Model SC3000 Transducer Indicator/Signal Conditioner helps railroad industry leaders check the braking capacity of every wheel on every railcar they load. And it’s just one member of our family of tough, highly reliable instruments. They’ve been helping a broad spectrum of industries manage test and measurement data for the past 25 years. We build some of the world’s best instruments, and we service everything we sell. When the system is critical, you can rely on Honeywell Sensotec.

This rugged, portable instrument is built and packaged to take the knocks and shocks of frequent shipping as well as the tough, dirty environment of rail yards and manufacturing facilities. Designed for ease of use, the SC3000 offers Plug & Play technology for self-calibration and easy setup, 14 load cells and 14 channels, the ability to view each channel’s data individually, and a math function that sums the data and delivers a single AAR-compliant performance specification for each railcar’s brake system. Eight of the 14 load cells are embedded in mock brake shoes that mount on the railcar wheel and measure the hydraulic brake-shoe force. The ninth load cell measures hydraulic pressure required to generate the braking force, and the tenth measures mechanical pressure applied by the emergency brake. And you’ve got extra capacity: We’ll configure the remaining four sensors and channels to handle any other measurement you want to make.

We’ve got one of the world’s largest families of test and measurement instrumentation. And as always, if you don’t see exactly what you want, we’ll build you a batch, or just one-whatever works for your business.

Model SC500 Transducer Indicator/Conditioner

We doubt you’ll find another microprocessor-based transducer indicator/conditioner out there that can give you small size (1/8 DIN metal case), choice of three transducer inputs (strain gage, high level or LVDT), four virtual channels, and a display with large, bright digits. Plus, the Model SC500 features Plug & Play technology, so it automatically self-calibrates and then interrogates each sensor-a big headache-reliever if your test and measurement setup requires dozens-or hundreds-of sensors. If you like, we’ll calibrate the virtual channels for your specific application by using Sensecode, our proprietary software language-which will save you time, money, and hassles because you won’t need to install, program, and connect sensors to a separate PC. Plus, for easy use anywhere in the world, The SC500 comes with a DC power supply that plugs directly into the wall and adapts to AC via interchangeable plugs.

This self-sufficient little workhorse runs without batteries-its excitation voltage is supplied by the instrument that it’s testing or calibrating. The Model TS simulates a 350 Ohm or a 5000 Ohm strain-gage transducer bridge to help you measure pressure, force, torque, or weight. Transducer sensitivities range from 0.5 to 10 mV/V.

If you need battery-powered portability when using your MA Series accelerometer to measure vibration, take a look at this pair. They’ll give you RMS and peak measurements of acceleration, velocity, and displacement-and you can flip a switch to filter high frequencies.

Easily set up and calibrated, these amplifiers give you handy front access for making electrical connections and adjustments, whether for strain gage transducers or AC LVDTs. All models include RFI and ESD protection. Five models (Models DV-05, DA-05, DV-10, DLD-VH, & DLD-CH) offer a spectrum of span adjustments.

When you’re heading way out in the field and need a portable calculator or readout device, take one of these rugged models along. You’ll get quick field setup and minimal warm-up with both the Model NK (4 ½ digit accuracy) or the HH (3 ½ digit accuracy).

The microprocessor-based SC 2000 gives you four physical channels plus eight virtual channels in a DIN aluminum bench-top chassis. Use it with unamplified strain-gage transducers that have our Signature Calibration Module installed and this instrument will completely self-calibrate zero, span, linearity, decimal point, and engineering units.
