The Bridge101A Data Logger measures and records
voltage, typically used in conjunction with strain
gauges, load cells or other low-level DC voltage
sources. This device is designed to accurately
measure and record the output of the gauge to
determine parameter levels such as stress, torque,
strain, and pressure on a structure or item over
a period of time.
Available in three different measurement ranges
(±30 mV, ±160 mV or ±1200 mV), the Bridge101A offers a reading rate of up to 4 Hz
with memory capacity of 1,000,000 readings (memory wrap optional). The device can
be configured to start at a specified date and time up to 24 months in advance and the
pushbutton start/stop feature allows the user to initiate or cease logging data in the field
if desired.
The MadgeTech Data Logger Software offers user programmable Engineering Units which
allows collected data to be presented in the established unit being measured. Equipped
with endless data analysis and reporting tools, the MadgeTech software simplifies device
management and provides the user with graph, tabular or summary reports with the ability
to export data to Excel as needed.

*MadgeTech recommends using 350 or 1000 Ω strain gages. 120 Ω strain gauges can be used with the Bridge101A
but it is not recommended as it will reduce the battery life, potentially increase noise level and limit the low end
temperature operation.
BATTERY WARNING: FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND SEVERE BURN HAZARD. DO NOT RECHARGE,
DISASSEMBLE, HEAT ABOVE 212 ºF, INCINERATE OR EXPOSE CONTENTS TO WATER.
