Full datasheet

The specifications on this page are complete and stay open, no form needed. The PDF datasheet, drawings and CAD files we send directly so we know who has them and can tell you if a spec is revised.

Optional, but it is the fastest way for us to tell you where we differ. We will not add you to a mailing list.

Certification for Canada

No certification required for installation

This model does not connect to line voltage, so it falls outside the SCC accredited certification requirement for installation in Ontario. Nothing here needs an inspector's sign off on that basis.

Low voltage or bench equipment. Where a mains powered accessory such as a power supply is included, that component carries its own listing, which is confirmed separately.

Certification is stated as it actually is. Where something is outstanding it says so, because an uncertified unit can be refused at installation no matter how well it performs, and finding that out on the day is expensive.

Where the requirement actually comes from

You do not have to take our word for any of this. These are the governing documents. Read them, or send them to whoever is asking.

Ontario Electrical Safety Code, O. Reg. 164/99

The regulation that adopts the Code in Ontario. Current edition adopts CSA C22.1:24 with Ontario Amendments, in force since 1 May 2025.

Rule 2-024, approval of electrical equipment

The approval rule itself. Equipment is approved when it bears a mark from a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada.

ESA Bulletin 2-7-29

ESA's own guidance on Rules 2-022 and 2-024. Lists the recognised certification marks, field evaluation marks and component marks, and includes a section specifically on devices supplied from Class 2 circuits.

Ontario Regulation 438/07, electrical product safety

The product safety regulation ESA administers. It applies to electrical products both before and after sale, not only at installation.

Standards Council of Canada, accredited certification bodies

Where to confirm that a certification body is actually accredited. CSA, UL/cUL, Intertek ETL, QPS and others appear here.

The references above are provided so the requirement can be checked directly rather than taken on anyone's word. They are not legal advice and they are not a determination for a particular installation. Whether approval is required in your case, and whether a given product satisfies it, is decided by the Code as applied to your installation and by your inspector or the authority having jurisdiction. Where there is any doubt, confirm with ESA before equipment is installed or energised.

    What ships, and what else you need

    The commonest reason a delivery sits in a crate for a fortnight is a missing bracket or the wrong supply. This is what is in the box and what has to be on site for it to run.

    In the box

    Instrument
    Manual
    Calibration certificate where applicable

    Required, not supplied

    Mounting or tripodDepends on standoff and field of view.
    LensWhere the body ships without one. Field of view and working distance decide it.
    Data cable and capture interfaceCoaXPress, CameraLink, GigE or USB3. Confirm what the PC supports.

    Worth considering

    LightingHigh speed work is nearly always short of light.
    Trigger and sync cablingFor multi camera or load frame synchronisation.
    Analysis software licenceWhere the analysis package is separate from the hardware.

    Tell us the installation and these get specified on the quote with the sensor, so nothing is discovered on the day.

    How it works

    BEFORE LOAD speckle pattern load UNDER LOAD the patch stretched, and by how much strain across the whole surface, not at one point
    Software tracks each patch of speckle from frame to frame. How far it moves and stretches gives displacement and strain.
