Vehicle Monitoring and Testing
e versatile, rugged design and low power require-
ments of the CR5000 datalogger make it well suited for
vehicle monitoring. It excels in cold and hot tempera-
ture, high altitude, off-highway, and cross-country
performance testing. e CR5000 is compatible with
our SDM-CAN interface.
Compatible sensors o en used for vehicle monitoring
and testing include thermocouples, pressure transducers,
GPS receivers, pulse pick-ups, flow transducers,
potentiometers, strain gages, load cells, digital switches,
accelerometers, LVDTs, and tilt sensors. Most sensors
connect directly to the datalogger, eliminating costly
external signal conditioning.
Common measurements include:
• Suspension—strut pressure, spring force, travel,
mounting point stress, de ection, ride
• Fuel system—line and tank pressure, ow,
temperature, injection timing
• Comfort control—ambient and supply air tempera-
ture, solar radiation, fan speed, blower currents,
ac on/o , refrigerant pressures, time-to-comfort
• Brakes—line pressure, pedal pressure and travel,
ABS, uid and pad temperature
• Engine—pressure, temperature, crank position,
RPM, time-to-start, oil pump cavitation
• General vehicle—chassis monitoring, road
noise, traction, payload, vehicle position/
speed, steering, air bag, hot/cold soaks, wind
tunnels, CANbus, wiper speed/current, vehicle
electrical loads
Other Applications
HVAC Systems—•
measures inside and
outside temperatures,
ow rates, di erential
pressures, motor tem-
peratures, and relative
humidity
.
Mining—monitors •
mine ventilation,
slope stability, con-
vergence, and equip-
ment performance.
Process monitoring •
and control—pro-
vides on-line quality
control while mini-
mizing production downtime.
Laboratory—can serve as a monitoring device to •
record parameters over time and can also be used
to regulate and control test conditions.
Aerospace/aviation—can endure the rigors of •
space travel and provide acceleration, structural,
and equipment performance measurements.
Utilities and energy—monitors conditions at •
power generation plants (hydroelectric, solar, and
wind), terminals, substations, oil and gas pumping
facilities, commercial and residential consumer
sites, and along transmission lines.
Vehicle monitoring includes not only passenger cars but loco-
motives, airplanes, helicopters, tractors, buses, heavy trucks,
drilling rigs, race cars, ATVs, and motorcycles.
Wide operating temperature ranges, solar-, AC- or
battery-powered operation, wireless communications,
and reliable performance make our systems ideal for
unattended monitoring.
The CR5000 can monitor and
control pumps, fans, and starter
motors in an HVAC system.
