Massload has found that many of our customers require a portable, battery powered digital indicator that has the features of a higher cost unit. The market does not have many options for this type of indicator, so we decided to develop our own. 

Features:

• Compact design of only 6"x4"x2 1/4"
• Up to 4 industry standard 0-20mA independent inputs. (4-20mA conversion webpage)
• Low voltage requirement: 8-16VDC
• On / Off switch
• 3 1/2 digit display with x10 and x100 indicators
• D9 RS-232 output to interface with a PC or ticket printer (see below about software)
• Quick disconnect terminal strip for loadcell and power inputs
• Operating Temperature: 0-50 deg C
• Durable ABS enclosure
• Accuracy: 1% or better.

Key Functions:

• Zero - Zero's the input channels
• Channel - Cycles through the channels and displays the weights on each channel individually. When all LED's are illuminated, the total weight of all channels is displayed.
• Zero+Channel - Sends a print command to a optional printer.

Serial Communication:

• Full duplex. Indicator can be interogated by computer software at will.

Display:

This unit uses a 3 1/2 digit display. This means that up to 1,999 lbs, it reads that full amount on the display. From 2,000 to 9,999 lbs, it reads the first 3 significant digits and tuns on the x10 light. From 10,000 to 99,999 lbs, reads the first 3 significant digits and turns on the x100 light.

For example you have an applied load of 6,238 lbs. The reading on the Quadsum would look like 624 and the x10 light would be illuminated.

Software:

See our software support page for downloads and updates.

Quadlink© software gives you the capabilty to turn your computer into a digital indicator and data acquisition system, and is standard with the purchase of the Quadsum Indicator. A fully featured software package with full setup/install program, help, and access to the latest updates via the internet. Data can be saved to a text file and/or an MS Access database. Use this software as the link in your data acquisition system.

The TI-1000 is a general purpose low cost digital indicator with a NEMA 4x stainless steel enclosure for use in washdown environments. It comes with an oversize (1") LCD screen for easy readout of up to 5,000 display divisions, and supplies enough current for up to 4-350W load cells. The primary and secondary displayed units may be altered to fit the required application. All setup parameters may be entered via the front panel keys, including calibration.

The TI-1000 uses full duplex RS-232 serial format for communication with many types of attached support equipment. The unit can transmit data on demand, or continuously in a popular data protocol to match a wide variety of printers, remote displays, or personal computers. Wiring diagrams to connect extra equipment will be found on page 2 of this manual.

The setup parameters are altered through the Setup menu. A graphical road map of the Setup menu is found on page 3 of the manual. The Configuration section of the manual, found on page 2, explains how to enter the Setup menu. In this mode, the five front panel keys become directional navigators to maneuver and save settings.

The classic DF200 indicator has more than 14 years of history being a high performance, low cost indicator with a track record of several thousand units in use today. Built upon the philosophy and reputation of the DF2000, the new M2000 is our second generation product continuing the 2000 legacy into the new millennium.

With increased A/D sampling speed and high resolution converter technology, the M2000 can display up to 20,000 displayed divisions, and is NTEP CLASS III/IIIL certified to 10,000 divisions with sampling up to 100 times a second per channel, ideal for demanding weighing applications such as high speed batching.

The M2000 offers 3 independent channels without using traditional multiplexing techniques. This ensures fast, predictable weighing with no performance loss in multi channel weighing modes.

Having multi-channel capability allows the M2000 to support weighing of more that one scale. For truck weighing applications, this means a multi-deck scale could be set up to weigh individual truck axles. All channels on the M2000 can be summed together in total mode, giving the total axle weight of the vehicle. Switching to individual channel mode allows you to inspect individual axle weights.

The M2000 supports analog and digital loadcell systems. The M2000D allows you to implement all the advantages of a digital load cell system without being locked into proprietary digital load cell technology.
