Optical Pickup (1037-DTS)
Complete, Automatic Testing!
This Optical Pickup (Catalog No. 1037-DTS) offers a rugged solution for detecting IR test pulses from ANSI compliant meters.
1037-DTS is designed for one way meter communication through the calibration LED found on most solid state meters. The pickup senses infrared pulses from ANSI compliant meters for complete, automatic testing.
The TESCO optical pickup connects to any meter. Using magnets and two adjustable suction cups (one that swivels a full 360°), our pickup is designed to accommodate multiple surfaces and working heights on the meter cover.
