We are pleased to introduce our latest product, the Wavewin Sniffer
. The Sniffer is a Disturbance Monitoring tool that
measures AC & DC transients. The Sniffer consists of a 8 or 24 port
recorder. The 8 port recorder connects to a host computer using an Ethernet cable. The Wavewin
software running on the computer continuously polls the recorder.
The 24 port recorder has an internal processor. The Wavewin software is preinstalled
on the processor and continuously polls the connected sensors.

Sensors
| Clamp On Current Sensor |
Clamp-On Data Sheet |
The clamp on is a small, non-intrusive, clamp-on sensor that uses a Hall-effect chip
in order to sense current flow through electric wires. The current sensor has a
curved mu-metal strip used for shielding against external magnetic fields and
used for amplifying internal fields. It has a clothespin like enclosure and is
capable of sensing microsecond transients (AC and DC) with a 2% accuracy range.
The sensor uses a single RJ45 shielded cable with 4 pins for both the power
and output signals.
|
|
| Split Core Current Sensor |
Split-Core Data Sheet |
The split-core current transformer is a compact, non-intrusive, clamp-on sensor
for measuring alternating current in electric wires. It uses a current
transformer to convert current flowing through a conductor to an equivalent
voltage output. The sensor is equipped with a unique secure hinge and
locking snap mechanism that allows it to be mounted directly onto electric
wires. The current transformer uses a single RJ45 shielded cable with 2
pins for the output signals.
|
|
| Solid Ring Current Sensor |
Solid-Ring Data Sheet |
The solid ring current transformer is a compact, light weight, high precision
sensor for measuring alternating current in electric wires. The sensor uses a
current transformer to convert current flowing through a conductor to an
equivalent voltage output. It is recommended for fault current monitoring and
metering applications. The current transformer uses a single RJ45 shielded
cable with 2 pins for the output signals.
|
|
| AC/DC Voltage Sensor |
AC/DC Voltage Data Sheet |
The small, rugged, differential voltage sensor is used for measuring
AC/DC voltages. The input is fused to protect the measured source.
It utilizes a built-in isolation amplifier to convert the high
differential input to a low differential output with a ratio of 200:1.
Measurements can be made directly across circuit components without
the need for a common ground. Power is provided to the sensor via the
data acquisition unit. The sensor uses a single RJ45 cable with 4 pins
for both power and output signals.
|
|
| AC Voltage Sensor |
AC Voltage Data Sheet |
The small, rugged voltage sensor is used for measuring AC voltages.
The input is fused to protect the measured source. It utilizes a
built-in voltage transformer to convert the high input to a low
output with a ratio of 240:1. Measurements can be made
directly across circuit components without the need for a common ground.
|
|
| Temperature Sensor |
Temperature Data Sheet |
The sensor has a small, rugged probe which consists of an LM335A
temperature sensor from National Semiconductor and two additional
resisters inserted into a waterproof stainless steel tube. It is
designed for outdoor and indoor applications. Operating as a
2-terminal zener, the LM335A has a voltage directly proportional
to absolute temperature at 10 mV/1°K. The temperature sensor has
a single RJ45 shielded cable with 4 pins for both the power and
output signals.
|
|
| Dry Contact Sensor |
Dry Contact Data Sheet |
The dry contact sensor provides a low voltage across a contact for the
purpose of determining the state of the contact, 0 Volts = open and 5
Volts = closed. It provides a way of monitoring a contact that has no
applied voltage. It is not for use on live circuits. The sensor uses
a single RJ45 shielded cable for the output signals.
