MLMux5 Multiplexer
The Canary Systems® MLMux5 multiplexer is designed to expand the number of instruments that can be read by a compatible Automatic Data Acquisition System (ADAS). It supports two switching modes, 5-channel by 4-wire switching, or 10-channel by 2-wire switching. A switch on the face of the module configures the switching mode.
The use of low contact resistance relays means almost universal instrument support, a high degree of lightning protection on the control lines, and virtually infinite channel isolation. The MLMux5 is compatible with a wide range of instruments, including vibrating wire, resistance strain gage, thermocouples, linear potentiometers, and 4-20 mA, among others.
Description
Two control inputs activate the MLMux5 and then advance through the channels. Logic levels for either the enable or clocking input can utilize 3.3V to 12V logic input, with a maximum input of 16V. These control inputs are compatible with a variety of control modules including those manufactured by Campbell Scientific, Sutron and dataTaker.
Transient protection in the form of plasma surge arrestors on the control inputs provides high reliability from electrical transients, whether ESD or lightning. The power inputs are also equipped with transient protection and reverse-polarity protection.
All components, such as terminal blocks, relays, and flash microcontroller, have been selected for ultra-high reliability and function, helping ensure years of reliable and trouble-free operation in demanding environments that may include high heat, humidity, and/or dust.

IPX IN-PLACE EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The In-Place Extensometer (IPX) offers automated monitoring of standard magnetic extensometer installations. The system is designed for a simple, adaptable installation with a single cable connection at the top of the borehole. Its large measurement range accommodates large levels of settlement or heave, and ease of adjustment means it can be reconfigured for changed site conditions such as embankment filling or cutting.
NANO TRIAXIAL TILT SENSOR
In stock
The Nano range uses the same core platform as our other tilt sensors, so it can deliver a similar level of performance and reliability, all in a small and robust enclosure. Nanos have been successfully used in many applications, including:
- Tunnel distortion
- Tunnel heave/settlement
- Embankment slippage (used in conjunction with stake mounts)
- Structural movement
- Rail track heave/settlement
- Rail trackbed cant and twist

TILT BEAM MEMS
In stock
MEMS Tilt Beams are designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, for the measurement of tilt or differential settlement.
They consist of a highly accurate MEMS sensor housed in a fully sealed enclosure which is mounted on a lightweight rigid GRP beam. This can be mounted onto the structure using special anchors. The GRP beam has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion meaning that thermal affects are minimised.
PENDULUM SYSTEM
In stock
HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are used to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line. Each has a tensioned, stainless steel wire and the effects of the earth gravitational forces to guarantee a perfectly vertical line between a fixed point and a tensioning mechanism. Typical applications include concrete dams, bridges and high rise buildings.
