Hioki LR8534 Wireless Strain Unit - Wireless Strain Meter

The Hioki LR8534 Wireless Strain Unit represents a significant advancement in portable measurement technology, offering engineers and technicians the freedom to conduct strain and voltage measurements without the constraints of traditional cabling. This innovative wireless unit connects seamlessly to Hioki Memory HiLogger LR8450-01 systems via the included Wireless LAN Adapter Z3230, providing measurement flexibility across industrial environments, laboratories, and field applications where cable management presents challenges.

With its robust wireless connectivity operating on IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards, the LR8534 achieves reliable communication up to 30 meters in line-of-sight conditions, making it ideal for monitoring structures, machinery, and test specimens where wired connections would be impractical or obstructive. The unit features five dedicated input channels, each capable of measuring voltage or strain with selectable configurations including 1-gage, 2-gage adjacent, 2-gage non-adjacent, and 4-gage methods for comprehensive strain analysis.

Hioki LR8534 Key Features

The LR8534 combines advanced wireless technology with precise measurement capabilities in a compact design. Each of the five channels features push-button terminal blocks with terminal block covers, and DIP switches must be configured according to the specific measurement target whether voltage or strain gage transducer. The unit supports balanced differential input with simultaneous sampling of all channels, ensuring accurate data capture across all five channels simultaneously.
