DTS TSR
Dynamic Shock Recorder
The TSR is a self-powered shock recorder with 3 internal accelerometers. Small and rugged, it is ideal for unattended monitoring of acceleration—including package testing, vibration, blast and multi-event impacts. The TSR is so easy to use it can be armed and ready to record in minutes.
The recorder stays in ready mode and "wakes" for an event trigger, collects data to flash memory and then automatically re-arms and returns to ready mode. The TSR can operate for up to 12 months on an internal battery.
One of the smallest systems available, its compact size allows users to easily and discretely attach or embed the unit on the test subject-creating new opportunities in the dynamic testing arena.
The TSR is available in two models to meet a variety of test requirements.
