Product Introduction

TP-16 optical scanning probe is an instrument that is designed by Tespro in China to be used in portable meter test instrument according to instrument PRS1.3 and PWS1.3 respectively with dedicated connector. It is also mostly appropriate in pulse acquisition of electronic energy meter around the world, and even can function with verification instruments to accomplish verification mission.

TP-16 optical scanning probe is capable of detecting light and infrared light pulse emitted by LED and converting them to electric pulses. TP-16 optical pulse sensor probe is initially developed by Tespro China, which is compatible with the circuits and casing customization, and OEM/ODM customization.

Reliable Optical Communication for Smart Metering

The modern AMI systems need stable and precise data capture at the meter. Reading of meters was time consuming and prone to errors.

Tespro optical probes, such as TP-BT and USB series, allowed retrieving data automatically through optical ports, and supported different meter brands and protocols. Bluetooth and USB models were provided with flexibility in the field and desktop usage.

Case


Product Case

Another metering service company was having frustrations with incompatibilities on probes in the on-site meter check-ups- tools at hand could not fit dedicated PRS1.3/PWS1.3 instrument connectors, so to check the electricity and thermal meter probes, cumbersome adapters that compromised accuracy of data had to be used.

 

It was solved with Tespro TP-16 Calibration Optical Probe that offers TP-16 Lemo connectors custom-matched to PRS1.3 and PWS1.3 devices with direct and stable connections without additional adapters. Its capability of detecting light and IR pulses guaranteed effective conversion to electric pulses to capture accurate data of energy.

 

Powerful magnetic grips and the optional TP-GS2 mount enabled firm attaching on the meter type of any sort, whereas the tough ABS+PC casing survived frequent field occupation. This made the verification process very easy, and the data were collected in a consistent manner that was hassle free in quality checks.
