LR8410-20 Hioki Data Logger

Features:

Wireless Logging Station

Wireless gathering of multichannel measurement data

• The LR8410-20 features Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing it to gather data from remotely located measurement units. Data can be sent and received between an LR8410-20 and logging modules positioned up to 30 meters (line-of-sight distance) apart. This capability proves useful when making measurements in locations where it would be different to run wiring to connect a sensor to a conventional measuring instrument. Measuring multiple locations simultaneously with a conventional logger requires long wiring runs connecting the logger to each sensor, raising the possibility that measurements could be hindered by wiring breaks and noise. The new HIOKI data logger both reduces and shortens wiring, helping to improve the measurement environment and boost measurement efficiency.

Gathering of data from up to seven measurement units with one LR8410-20

• One LR8410-20 can control up to seven measurement units, allowing it to gather up to 105 channels of data.
• Measuring a variety of locations with a conventional logger yields data with different time-series

Hioki E.E. Corporation announces the launch of the Wireless Logging Station LR8410-20, a multichannel logger with Bluetooth® wireless technology, together with the Wireless Voltage/Temp Unit LR8510 and Wireless Universal Unit LR8511 measurement units.

Customers in the automotive, environmental, and new energy fields, which HIOKI has identified as priority markets, traditionally have made extensive use of multichannel loggers, and many have expressed dissatisfaction with the burdensome wiring requirements imposed by those instruments. In light of this unresolved need, HIOKI set out to develop a new data logger based on wireless data communication, specifically in the form of measurement units that measure data and a separate logging station that gathers measurement data.

The LR8410-20’s Bluetooth® wireless technology allows it to gather data from measurement units in remote locations (with a range of up to 30 meters, line-of-sight). One LR8410-20 can control up to seven 15-channel logging modules. As a result, the instrument can gather a maximum of 105 channels of data at a recording interval of 100 ms (1/10 sec.).

The LR8410-20, LR8510, and LR8511 require less wiring, reducing the effects of such measurement environment characteristics as noise and improving measurement efficiency. Additionally, in enabling data to be gathered from multiple remote locations at once, these new products make it possible to take measurements that are part of the same time-series.
