  1. Current Transformers

    Current Transformers

    Clamp on Current Monitors
    Accuracy ±1% or better, initial pulse response for all models, with a high impedance load such as 1 megOhm in parallel with 20 pF. A 50 Ohm termination will reduce the output to half. All models listed below come with a BNC connector except as noted and are to be used with a 50 Ohm coaxial cable. The current monitor case is conductive and not insulated. Adequate insulation must be provided on the conductor being monitored. To avoid electrical shock, do not mount or remove the current monitor from a live conductor.

  2. Densitometers

    Densitometers

    Alrad are a UK distributor for TOBIAS ASSOCIATES, INC.

    The TOBIAS model range is more comprehensive, in that as well as Bench Densitometers, they also offer Sensitometers, Colourbars, Plate Scanners and CIP digital Ink Presetting Instruments.

  3. Dexter Thermopiles for Infrared detection

    Dexter Thermopiles for Infrared detection
    Thermopile detectors are voltage-generating devices, which can be thought of as miniature arrays of thermocouple junctions. Our detectors are hermetically sealed in TO-18, TO-5 or TO-8 transistor type packages, purged with inert gas and heat treated to ensure long term stability.
