PD2-6100 Helios Strain Gauge, Load Cell & mV Meter

Brand: Precision Digital Corporation
Go with the Helios PD2-6100 when you have a weighing application where you need to read the display from a distance, or outside in the bright sunlight in temperatures between -40° to 65° C (-40° to 150° F).

The PD2-6100 tare feature can be used to remove the weight of the container from the weight calculation.

You can even re-transmit the weight signal with the PD2-6100's optional 4-20 mA output.
Features
  • Large 1.80" digits
  • Dual-line 6-digit display
  • Readable from up to 100 feet (30 meters) away
  • Superluminous sunlight readable display
  • NEMA 4X, IP65 rated field mountable enclosure
  • Operating temperature range of -40° to 65° C (-40° to 150° F)
  • 15, 30, 150, 300 mV Unipolar input ranges
  • ±15, ±25, ±150, ±250 mV bipolar input ranges
  • Supports up to twelve (12) 350 Ω load cells
  • Capture or programmable tare feature
  • Maximum/minimum or peak/valley hold feature
  • Auto-zero feature eliminates zero drift
  • Universal 85 to 265 Vac, or 12 to 24 Vdc input power models
  • 2 or 4 Relays + Isolated 4-20 mA output
  • Onboard USB & RS-485 serial communication option
  • Modbus RTU communication protocol standard
  • Program the meter from a PC with onboard USB and MeterView Pro
