MSR FlexSensors: Robust plug-in Sensors for more Flexibility

The easy solution for your measurement data acquisition

MSR FlexSensors are robust interchangeable plug-in sensors for recording measured variables such as temperature, humidity, fluid pressure, light and 3-axis acceleration (Fast Peak).

The FlexSensors offer you an efficient, cost-effective and flexible solution for a wide range of measurement applications. They are designed so that they can also be used in damp environments such as wet areas. The high level of impermeability (IP 67) ensures that the sensors function reliably even in demanding environments.

Various solutions are available with the MSR FlexSoftware for configuring the FlexSensors, visualising the measured values and processing the sensor information.

How would you like to use the MSR FlexSensors?

MSR FlexSensors, together with a USB FlexConnector, allow direct connection to a PC, notebook or single-board computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi). In addition to the direct connection, it is also possible to use FlexSensors with a compatible MSR data logger equipped with a FlexConnector plug connection. FlexSensors can also be connected to a measurement box.

MSR FlexSensor for PC-based data acquisition

Record, save, visualise and forward measurement data from various FlexSensors simultaneously as required. Expandable at any time.

  • The robust FlexSensors are very quick and easy to exchange
  • Can be used on the USB port of a PC, notebook or single-board computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi)
  • Several FlexSensors can be used simultaneously
  • 1 USB FlexConnector is required per FlexSensor; a commercially available USB hub can be used
  • Alternatively, 4, 8, 16 FlexSensors can be connected directly using a USB FlexConnector hub

 

MSR FlexSensor for autonomous data acquisition with MSR145WD and MSR145W2D data loggers

With FlexSensors, your MSR data logger becomes an all-round high performance measuring instrument with countless sensor combination options. Additional FlexSensors can be ordered at any time and are automatically recognised by the data logger.

  • Compatible data loggers: MSR145WD (Bluetooth),  MSR145W2D (WiFi)
  • In order for the FlexSensor to be connected to the data logger, it must have a FlexConnector
  • 1 interchangeable FlexSensor can be connected to each FlexConnector
  • The FlexSensor can be combined with the data logger’s internal and external sensors
  • MSR FlexConfigurator software for configuring the FlexSensors (additional USB FlexConnector required)

Select the required MSR FlexSensors:

The range of MSR FlexSensors is being continuously expanded. Customised FlexSensors (air pressure, gas, distance, etc.) are available on request. The measurement/storage rate depends on the sensor and the end device.

Notes:

  • To connect the FlexSensor directly to the end device (PC, notebook, single-board computer), you need a USB FlexConnector
  • If you want to use the FlexSensor on the MSR145WD data logger or MSR145W2D data logger, it must be equipped with a FlexConnector
