Strainsert Portable Load Indicator PLND4

The Model PLND4 is a 4-1/2 digit indicator made for use with any full bridge strain gage type transducer. Indication is direct. No multipliers are required. Simple operation. For normal use only two controls are involved: turn on the power switch, set the no load balance or tare reading to zero, and begin reading applied loads. Alternate display units are available. A calibration check function is included to provide a quick test of the transducer and instrument integrity. The read out system is fully contained in a rugged and durable aluminum alloy case. Power is provided by a set of rechargeable batteries. Batteries and a recharger, operable on 110 Vac or 220 Vac, are included within the housing. A detachable power cord is included for recharging. Battery power provides 10 – 15 hours of continuous use depending on transducer bridge resistance. A ratiometric measuring system prevents battery decay from degrading system accuracy. When the battery voltage level drops to a preset value, a visible indicator signals the need for recharging.
