  • Possible pre-strain setup during installation up to ±5000µɛ.
  • MS-03 can be connected in a series configuration.
  • Various anchoring designs
  • Embeddable into concrete/grout
Applications
  • Strain monitoring
  • Rebar strain or force monitoring
  • Wall-tie monitoring

Quality StatementThe MS-03 sensor is compliant with IEC 61757-1-1:2020 and IEC 61757:2026
All sensors are 100% tested and calibrated at SYLEX
The sensor is manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004

Notes:

  • 1) Accuracy is established for each sensor under laboratory conditions, and it includes hysteresis, non-linearity, and
    repeatability of the sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this
    sample. The typical value is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 2) Precision is established on a batch basis and includes hysteresis, non-linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility of the
    sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this sample. The typical value
    is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 3) FS: full-scale measuring range.
  • 4) For further dimensions details see the product drawing
  • 5) Cable length is extendable on request
  • 6) Other connector types available on request
