Centor series

The Centor acts like a small computer. The first priority is to acquire force data and store the peak sampling at 1000 Hertz. There are not enough computer resources to acquire the data and run both the analogue and RS-232 outputs. You must select which one you want before you run the test.

The Centor force and torque gauges contain a serial bidirectional interface. ASCII characters can be sent and received with the RS-232 or V.35 protocol. RSIC and Caligraph software are available to help you manage, store, retrieve and display results.

The update rate is the same for all interfaces. All interfaces are updated at a rate of 50 Hz.

All our force gauges have an overload protection of 200% of the full scale of the sensor. Nevertheless, each time you measure more than 120% of the full scale, the Centor will count this as an overload.
After 10 overloads, the force gauge is locked in a safe mode.
To unlock your gauge, you have to send it to us to perform a complete diagnostic to check that the accuracy of your instrument is still in the tolerances. 

The serial communications cable is special for the Centor. The Centor multipurpose I/O port contains 15 pins in two rows. There are several separate channels for this connector. This is not a common connector. Please contact Andilog Technologies to purchase a serial communications cable.
