PPC-PAD-plus Hydraulic Testers

The new PPC-PAD-plus Multifunction Hand-Held Hydraulic Tester was developed especially for high demands and helps you to master these new challenges. It has never been so easy to track the complex processes in these industries through measurements, displays and analyses. Possible areas of application include preventive maintenance, commissioning, troubleshooting and machine optimization. The increased requirements of these modern applications (e.g. more measuring points, longer cables and higher immunity to interference) have driven the further development of the CAN bus.

The new PPC-PAD-plus has a 7" touch screen which makes operation very simple, even for complex tasks. The modular design also ensures best possible adaptation to a variety of different measuring tasks.

Different input modules are offered for connecting additional sensors. These modules can easily be replaced by the user. There is an option of running the basic device with max. two additional modules in the device.

The CAN Bus Sensors from STAUFF use the automatic sensor detection of the bus to allow an easy-to-install plug-and-play solution (max. CAN bus length 100 m/328 ft). The device is compatible with the existing sensors from the PPC Series.

One great advantage is the option to generate a variety of different templates for recurring measuring tasks and saving these in so-called containers. Calling up these templates for recurring measuring tasks ensures interpretation and comparability of the results at all times. This can even go so far as executing these templates automatically at the press of a button.

The newly integrated WIFI function also allows the device to be controlled via remote access, which means that executing measuring tasks and calling up the recorded data from a different location are no longer a challenge.

The PPC-Analyze PC Software offers additional methods for analysis, control and remote service using LAN and USB connections. In combination with this software, the PPC-PAD-plus is a very user-friendly hydraulic tester that is suitable for all types of diagnostic applications.
