Members of CAI
Metrix Electronics Limited supplies and supports an extensive selection of electrical and electronics instruments for laboratory and industrial applications. We operate a Quality Management System which complies with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2008. As members of the GAMBICA trade association we are able to offer applications, advice and specialist assistance on all of the products that we supply. The company is a participant in two GAMBICA special interest groups: process measurement & control, and electronic test & measurement instrumentation. In 2006, Metrix Electronics Limited also joined the CAI. The CAI is the Confederation of Aerial Industries Limited, a representative trade body for the TV signal distribution industry.
Rugged Indicators for Marine and Transportation Applications use New Stepper Motor Technology
Rugged analogue meters, using new stepper motor technology, are now available from Metrix Electronics Ltd. Highly resistant to shock and vibration to EN 60 051 standards, they are particularly suitable for marine and transportation use. Applications include thrust direction, rudder position, propeller adjustment, RPM, temperature and speed. Housed in 72, 96 or 144mm square DIN-size panel mounting cases with a choice of 270 or 360 degree pointer mechanisms. Typical units have a 4 to 20mA input range, while the scales can be customised to suit the user’s application (see 360 degree thrust angle example). Both the scale and pointer can be illuminated with adjustable brightness. The auxiliary power supply voltage is 18 to 36V DC. Operating temperature range is -25°C to +55°C.

All models feature fast printing on 80mm wide 'document grade' thermal paper. Compact 144 x 72mm DIN size metal case. AC or DC power supplies. Paper re-roll unit and protective cover accessories. Key models available from RS Components |
Handheld Spectrum Analysers for Field Use
B&K Precision’s new handheld spectrum analysers are compact, light weight, and cost-effective instruments for rapid and precise signal investigations in the field. Three models in the series all feature a large colour screen, extended 4hr battery life and weigh just 1.8kg. The BK-2650A covers the frequency range from 50kHz to 3.3GHz, the BK-2652A adds a built-in tracking generator and the BK-2658A extends the frequency coverage to 8.5GHz. Key features include channel / adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, electric and magnetic field strength measurement functions, PC software for remote control and documentation of measurement results, convenient Auto Tune function and SCPI-like remote control commands. |
Compact Multi-Channel Controllers The new MultiCon CMC-99 series are compact 96x96mm panel mounting multi-channel meter / controllers with up to 48 analogue inputs and 16 relay / SSR outputs. These controllers feature a backlit colour TFT display with touch screen menu navigation. They can be configured to control multiple outputs from one input, or have outputs from logical combination of several inputs. External sensors and actuators can be directly connected. Inputs, or groups of inputs, can be displayed in numeric, bargraph or graphical format. Each input can be named, scaled and captioned by the installer. All versions have an RS-485 (Modbus RTU) serial port for standard communications, plus two USB ports: Host for a keyboard or mouse and Device for PC communications. Enhanced communications with further serial, USB or Ethernet ports are options. The optional SimCorder software allows visualisation, archiving and printing of recorded measurements. |
Portable Data Acquisition Systems
Users can configure the new DAS 1400 series portable paperless recorders to have from 6 to 36 analogue signal channels. One recorder can be used for different development, production or service data acquisition applications. Up to three input modules can be installed. Two types are available: ‘Universal’ modules have 6 isolated channels for DC voltage (1mV to 1000V), true RMS AC (200mV to 500V) or thermocouple inputs. 12-input ‘multiplexed’ modules accept input signals up to 50V, thermocouple or PT100 sensors. The DAS 1400 series offer direct recording onto the internal hard disk, with a bandwidth of up to 100kHz per channel. A 12-inch colour screen displays waveforms during acquisition, or from memory. Ethernet, USB and RS-232 interfaces are provided for data transfer to a network, external storage device or a PC for archiving and further analysis. |
Arbitrary Generators - Making Waves
A new series of arbitrary function generators is available from Metrix Electronics.They can generate standard or user-defined waveforms with crystal-controlled sampling rates up to 125MHz , a 14-bit vertical resolution and up to 4 million horizontal points. Uses include signal simulation and test in many industrial, laboratory and service applications. Customised waveforms can be created from scratch, or by editing standard waveforms. A PC Arbitrary waveform editor program allows the user to create, edit and download complex waveforms, while multiple waveforms can be stored in flash memory. Three models offer standard 31, 40 or 50MHz; sine, square, ramp or pulse waveforms outputs. A fourth model has dual channel 50MHz outputs to operate independently or in sum mode to create more complex waveforms. |

2009 Catalogue of Professional TV Meters for Terrestrial, Cable & Satellite Applications
A new 6-page catalogue details the Sefram TV signal analysers ranges. These are compatible with professional analogue and digital TV, and high definition (HDTV) installer measurement requirements. Five new models in the 786X series offer comprehensive measurements of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 digital terrestrial (DVB-T, COFDM), cable (DVB-C, QAM) and satellite (DVB-S, QPSK and DVB-S2, QPSK/8PSK) signals. All models feature a 7-inch wide-screen colour TFT to show TV pictures, spectrum and detailed measurement displays. They have a compact housing, water resistant front panel, durable carrying case, weigh just 2.1kg and are backed by a two year warranty. Three 780XB series models are rugged, highly portable and easy-to-use meters dedicated to digital terrestrial, cable or satellite applications. USB – PC interface to upload frequency plans and download saved measurements. |
