BPMS Sensors

CONFORMat Sensors
|
The BPMS system is built on a "modular" sensor construct concept. This means you can acquire a system in many ways from one pressure sensor up to eight. This allows you to grow your BPMS as your needs expand, thus protecting your initial investment.
The system is comprised of data acquisition electronics, sensors, and software. BPMS™ is configured depending on the application and sensor selection which drives the amount of electronics that are needed. This system is compatible with Evolution and our Versatek electronics. Our qualified engineers will help you select the optimal system configuration to meet your application requirements.
