The latest weighing system from Applied Measurements uses a telemetry link between the load cell and portable digital display instrument, thereby eliminating problems associated with long interconnecting cables.

Specifically designed for the measurement of cable tension and under-hook crane and lifting gear weighing, the system consists simply of a robust load cell with a built-in, 200 metre range, data transmitter and a portable, hand held receiver, instrument which displays weight digitally.

The load cell is available in ten different ranges from 0-1 up to 0- 500 tonne and offers excellent performance with a repeatability of better than 0.05% of rated output. Designed for use with standard lifting shackles, the units are sealed to IP66, allowing them to withstand harsh outside environments.

The portable instrument receives the load cell signal and displays the reading on the 8 character -14 segment LCD display over the range -4999 to +65000 .Features include a 'hold' control for display storage and a 'tare' control for automatic zeroing of the load signal. It operates on a 9V PP3 supply and the auto power down conserves battery life.

Applied Measurements specialise in providing bespoke weighing and force measuring solutions for a wide range of applications and are always pleased to discuss your specific requirement.
