Graphtec GL860 datalogger kit
Details
The Graphtec GL860 is a portable, isolated multi-channel datalogger made for industrial temperature and voltage monitoring. The standard 20 channels have a sampling interval of 5ms. Also, every channel is galvanically isolated to prevent cross-channel interference. Data is stored internally in memory up to 8GB, which can be expanded with an SD card, and stored data can easily be exported to CSV. Voltage, thermocouple, RTD and humidity inputs are supported on every channel, and it is possible to expand the 20 channels up to 200 channels. Graphtec is a Japanese brand known for the durability and quality of its instruments.
The integrated 7" TFT display shows live waveforms and statistics of the data being logged, and USB and Ethernet are included as interfaces for PC control and remote monitoring. The datalogger comes with a robust carrying case, two battery packs for up to 10 hours of operation, and the 20-channel B-563 screw terminal. Sensors are not included. Contact us if you need help selecting the right sensors or configuring beyond 20 channels.
This listing is the complete GL860 kit, which combines the datalogger and the 20-channel B-563 screw terminal with a hard carrying case, two battery packs and accessories for portable use in the field. The bare Graphtec GL860 datalogger is available separately.
The GL860 can be expanded from 20 up to 200 channels. Each step adds a B-566 extension module together with one or more B-563 input terminals, and the modules are linked with a B-567 cable, available in 0.5m and 2m lengths. Contact us if you need help configuring the right combination for your channel count.
