Adobe Acrobat Datasheets

When you have selected a product or group of products using the links, clicking the button the first time will open a new browser window and load a datasheet in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (pdf).

These datasheets are typically 70-110Kb and include a picture of the sensor, dimensional drawings, full electrical specifications and connection details. The pdf format allows you to preview, zoom in, copy and paste text or graphics onto your specification sheets and or print hard copies. (see notes on "downloading and browser cache" below)

You need "Adobe Acrobat Reader" installed on your PC to view datasheets from the website. Click the button to get your free copy.

If you have a slow modem connection you can request our CD containing the website which is much faster loading. The CD includes a free copy of the Reader..

Downloading and browser cache.

Experienced internet users will know that local copies of files downloaded from the internet are stored on the hard disk of your computer. It is no different with Adobe Acrobat pdf files.

Once you have clicked the link to one of our datasheets and it has loaded into the second window you will also have a copy of that file in the cache of your web browser.

You can make this datasheet (or sheets) permanently available offline by copying from your cache and saving in a different directory on your hard disk. (do it quickly as many browsers regularly clean out their cache files which are often limited to a maximum size. Furthermore you may not be able to find the file if you visit many other sites.)

For users of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, select "tools", "internet options", "settings", "view files", the datasheet file should be near the top of your list and may be identified as an Adobe Acrobat Reader file. Simply highlight the file, click your right mouse button copy and paste the file into a suitable directory.

I don't want to install software for datasheets!

If you do not want to install acrobat, but do want a datasheet, we can fax it to you or mail you our CD containing the reader and datasheets. Either call the sales office or complete the email form on-line to request information in this or a different format.
