WDS-500BE
Sensor Checker

Summary
· Strain, I/O resistance or insulation resistance can be measured individually by pressing relative one key
· Enables to output strain values
· TEDS compliant
· Operates on 2 pieces of AA size dry cells
Features
The WDS-500BE is a palm-size Sensor Checker for check either a sensor or a measuring instrument. All these variables of strain, I/O resistance and insulated resistance can be measured with one key in automatic mode.
