Handheld charge amplifier 5811A

The new handheld charge amplifiers enable data analysis in situ.

Data recording, insulation testing and quality assurance – the easy way

The handheld charge amplifiers, transmitter monitors and insulation testers in the 5811A series from Kistler set a new standard for mobile data recording from piezoelectric measuring chains. They feature customizable measurement modes – including a recording function and a variety of visualization options, combined with highly robust design (IP54) for use in harsh environments.

Depending on the version, the handheld devices can be used as mobile measuring devices, for insulation testing, for reference measurements as well as reference tools for testing process parameters and verifying processes. Their versatility makes these handheld devices ideal for quality assurance, autonomous data recording and troubleshooting in the field – even when space is very limited.

The seamless digital documentation of measurement results and meta data enhances efficiency during regular maintenance work on piezoelectric measuring chains.
