PPC-04-plus Hydraulic Testers

The PPC-04-plus and PPC-04-plus-CAN Hydraulic Testers have been developed for the growing demands in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. They are perfectly suited for the precise determination of pressure, temperature, volume flow and rotational speed.

• Multi-line, backlit LCD display
• Max. two analogue sensors can be connected at the same time
• With CAN interface, max. three digital sensors can be connected at the same time
• Integrated data memory for 15000 data records
• External storage by using a USB memory stick (1 GB included)
• Max. CAN bus length: 50 m / 164 ft (CAN version)

The Hydraulic Testers are available in two versions. The PPC-04-plus, analogue version, comes with two inputs for connecting up to two analogue sensors at the same time. The PPC-04-plus-CAN comes with an CAN interface for connecting up to three digital sensors at the same time. Both versions provide automatic sensor recognition, thus making the tedious and often time-consuming parameterization of sensors redundant. The units can be easily operated via the keyboard and the individual device configurations can be viewed and managed.

Due to its extremely robust construction and oil-resistant rubber coating, the Hydraulic Testers can withstand impacts, vibrations, dust and moisture (protection class up to IP 67) and is designed for use in particularly harsh conditions.

The internal battery (Lithium Ion pack) can be charged via an micro USB connection, this connection can be also used to transfer the internally stored data to a PC or notebook. Furthermore, this connection is also provided for real-time presentation of the measured values on the PC.

The PPC-04-plus devices can store up to 15000 data records and 270000 measured values. The included PPC software is compatible with popular PC operating systems (Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, Windows 7®, Windows 8® and Windows 10®) and permits various evaluation methods.

It is also possible to connect the Pressure Sensors under load, with the equipment switched on. The temperature and volume flow sensors are to be installed in the pipelines. The Rotational Speed Sensor is a non-contacting sensor and uses an optical mark on the rotating parts. Measuring the differential pressure requires two Pressure Sensors with identical measuring ranges.

The units are also available as a complete set.
