The ALMEMO® system: One Instrument for All Sensors

From Clark Solutions
 

 
Since the first ALMEMO® handheld instrument was introduced in 1993, we have continuously improved the fascinating ALMEMO® system with its infinite possibilities for sensor connection, data processing and device networking. As a result, a wide range of all types of measuring instruments is now available; from 1-channel transmitters to data acquisition systems with more than 1000 measuring points. The measuring instruments of the ALMEMO® series only differ from each other with regard to their enclosure (handheld instruments, desktop instruments, 19" systems, switchboard instruments, transmitters etc.), the number of measuring inputs (1 to 250), the display, output and operating controls, and the power supply. By means of the intelligent ALMEMO® connector, when connecting the sensors and interface cables, the instruments will be completely programmed up to the time-oriented sequential control. They provide a uniform function range and configurable options. Furthermore, all parameters can be accessed via the interface and can also be modified as the memory devices built into the connectors can be repeatedly overwritten.

Products & Services
Level transmitters or level transducers are used to measure the level of a liquid or bulk solid material (as well as slurries) within a specified space. For each measurement, they provide an electrical output that is proportional to the input level. Search by Specification | Learn more about Level Transmitters
Pressure gauges are used for a variety of industrial and application-specific pressure monitoring applications.  Uses include visual monitoring of air and gas pressure for compressors, vacuum equipment, process lines and specialty tank applications such as medical gas cylinders and fire extinguishers.
