Product Description

The PSD Portable Sensor Display from Magtrol is a very compact, light and easy to use device. This amplifier can process sensor strain gauge signals ±0.3 … 5 mV/V. High measuring accuracy, paired with fast measuring rates allow an internal resolution of 22 bits at 2 mV/V. It also stores the adjustment data, sensor designation and physical unit. Functions, such as TARE, recall of min.-max. value,… are available during the measurement.

The device is powered by 3 AA batteries or via its USB Mini-B port. In order to increase its duration of use, the PSD integrates an automatic standby mode which is activated when the device is not used.

                    [post_content] => HRL Series load cells consist of a high quality stainless steel. This compact load cell is designed specifically for heavy duty use on construction sites and include load cells with a range of 600 ... 3 000 kN. Special designs are available upon request. The attached shielded cable includes a water-proof connector with cap. Versions without the connector are available as an option. Cable lengths are customizable according to the installation requirements; for further information please contact us. The data collected from the strain gauge is proportional to the applied force. The signal is transmitted to the monitoring unit for amplification.
