IGU-BD3C-5 Main Features:
- Internal sensor with corner frequency of 0.2 Hz
- Wireless QC (Quality Control) via Bluetooth
- Supports internal and external power supplies
The IGU-BD3C-5 has a low capacity built-in battery model.IGU-BD3C-5 LC" is also available. The IGU-BD3C-5 LC has a slightly shorter continuous operating period of "17 days", but is more affordable (all specifications other than battery capacity are the same as the IGU-BD3C-5). In addition, due to the capacity of the battery installed, international shipping costs are cheaper than the IGU-BD3C-5, making it suitable for carrying around overseas. This model is suitable for small-lot purchases and has a proven track record in Japan.
