Section 1 Hardware Manual

Description

The T-TEST K12 equipment is a dedicated 16-channel microprocessor data

acquisition unit for real-time acquisition, display and recording of data from

displacement, pressure and load sensors, mainly designed for load testing applications.

The unit requires to be connected to a PC (not included) via a 485/USB converter cable

supplied with the equipment. The electronics is enclosed in a reinforced original PELI

case (up to IP67) that makes the unit easy and safe to be carried around and operated

even in heavy environmental constructions site conditions.

Two out of the sixteen channels available are pre-configured to accept either a load

cell or a pressure transducer (in case a motorized or mechanical system is being used

to apply the load to the structure under test). Yet, it is also possible to manually enter

applied load data, which will be graphically displayed as well.

A rechargeable in-built 6V battery is provided to power the system. When connected to

the mains, the battery works as a back-up power.

A dedicated software for running load testing on structures such as slabs, piles and

trusses is included. It enables the operator to display in real time, log and process

testing data from:

12 no. Channels pre-set for potentiometric displacement sensors

1 no. Channel pre-set for a 4-20mA load cell or a pressure transducer

(the latter in case loading of the structure occurs via a motorized / mechanical device)

1 no. Channel pre-set for a NTC type temperature sensor

(alternatively, by using an “adaptor” it may be turned into a further 4-20 mA channel)

2 no. (Internal) channels respectively devoted to monitoring local temperature and

battery charge status.

The T-Test K12 has a readings resolution of 16 bit.

Battery, Charger and Power supply

The standard supply to the unit is given by a 6 Volt –4.5 Ah lead-acid

battery. It allows for an operating time of 8 to 35 hours, according to

how many sensors and options, if any, are connected to the unit.

A 3-colour LED, mounted on the unit panel, indicates the status of the

battery charge:

oGreen charged

oOrange alert for battery about to exhaust

oRed battery exhausted (recharge or connect external power)

For longer exercise time or any special needs, you can use the charger /

adapter, supplied as standard, and connect it to the 220~230V mains.

The green LED on the charger will be lit as long as recharging is in

progress.

A further alternative option is to connect the cable with pinches / clips

(included in the standard supply), to an external source 1224V dc

•RED positive

•BLACK negative

WARNING !

From time to time it is recommended to recharge the battery even if you are not using

the unit actually in order to prevent to damage it.

When using battery-powered devices, always pay attention to:

•Always use the charger provided with the unit. Do not connect chargers

of different make!

•Do not heat or throw batteries in fire or place them near heat sources!

•Pay attention not to let positive and negative poles to come in contact

with metal objects. Never shortcircuit them!

•Never try to recharge batteries that are NOT RECHARGEABLE!

•Never try to tamper with batteries in any way!

WARNING !

Batteries contain products that are heavily harmful to the environment

and health. Please stick to the local safety regulations when you have to

dispose of exhausted batteries.
