MAIN FUNCTIONS
8 independent channels for load cells: monitoring and direct 8 INDEPENDENT CHANNELS
management of the individual load cells connected. The screen shows the automatic standard operating mode and the
Digital equalization: the instrument allows to equalize the activation/deactivation status of individual channels to indicate the
connected load cells response, in a fast and reliable over time. presence/ absence of connection with load cells.
Load distribution synoptic analysis on 8 channels with archive
backups: storing, retrieving, printing.
Automatic diagnostics: the instrument is designed to store the
percentage value of load distribution for each channel. The
diagnostic function makes comparisons between the recorded
values and if a significant variation between the values is detected
during normal operation, the instrument displays an alarm
alternating with the weight value.
Depending on the weighing system type it’s possible to perform:
- Load automatic diagnostics: load distribution control in constant
barycentre systems (e.g. liquids silo). Auto mode: at each power-on, the instrument
- Automatic diagnostics on zero: check on load cells drift state automatically detects the status of the 8 channels.
