Switch scanner gets to the point of multi testing
An improvement in the connection of high voltage or high current electrical tests to multiple test points or products is provided by Clare's modular switch scanner, SwitchSmart.
SwitchSmart's used for the simultaneous and automated testing of units such as transformers, motors or electrical system devices, which require earth/ground bonding or high voltage HiPot/flash dielectric testing.
It has been designed to interface directly with Clare's high performance Elite electronic product safety testing system or operate independently within larger system integration/automation applications.
Product features 16 switching ports type SPST (NO), making the instrument flexible enough to handle the requirements of safe high voltage or high current electric testing. An easy-to-read, front mounted LCD display, housed within an impact resistant 4U 19 inch case shows the real-time status of each switch port.
The number of points that can be connected is almost limitless due to SwitchSmart's modular concept (can be daisy chained), while it can be controlled by either RS-232 serial interface or digital control port. Maximum switching voltage is 3Kv AC, while the maximum switching current is 32 Amps AC.
