The calibrator data logger PCE-MCA 50 is designed for calibration and maintenance. This calibrator data logger enables the measurement and simulation of electrical quantities. Due to the battery operation, the calibrator data logger PCE-MCA 50 can be used in different locations. The measurement functions offered are a versatile measuring instrument that can be used in many areas. Depending on the application, the calibrator data logger can run for up to 17 hours per battery charge. The measured results can be stored on the internal measured value memory. This offers a capacity for up to 15000 values.
The calibrator data logger offers the possibility of generating and measuring DC and DC. The operation of the calibrator data logger is carried out in a simple manner via nine keys installed on the front. Likewise, test leads and thermocouple can be connected. The calibrator performs measurement functions, voltage and current simulations, as well as a continuity test. The measured values can be read off the large LC display.
