DFS II Series DFS II / DFS II-R / DFS II-R-ND Digital Force Gauge

Functions and Features Easy-to-Read Display A large, easy-to-read full color LCD can display readings, icons and visually indicate gauge or test status using various colors. The high resolution display features brightness adjustments and can be inverted when required. The display can even be “hidden” at the press of a button. A load bargraph indicating load direction, measured load and safe load and helps prevent overloads: the load bar changes from green to red to indicate proximity to load cell capacity. The integral loadcells feature mechanical overload protection at 150% Full Scale....

DFS II Series Break Detection Break detection is provided and two types of breaks are supported. A sharp break can be used to detect whenever the load measurement drops 5% from a peak load. Alternatively, you may override the sharp break and setup the gauge with a % break detector. The % break detector allows you to set the drop percentage that is used to define a break. This type of break is useful on samples with high elastic characteristics. The DFS II Series comes standard with digital and analog outputs. RS232 outputs are supported with baud rates from 9600 to 115,600. Simply select...

SLC Remote Load Cells Dedicated SLC Remote Load Cells The DFS II with dedicated remote load cells is the ideal solution for applications that require a measurement where there is no room for the gauge. The gauge may be handheld our remotely mounted and the load cell may be placed right where it needs to be to take the reading. This is the answer if one load cell will address all of the testing needs or if multiple gauges will be used. The user can have the gauge where it needs to be so that a reading may be easily taken or so that it is not interfering with the test being performed. The...

STS Remote Torque Sensors Non-Dedicated STS Remote Torque Sensors In addition to the force measurement capability of the DFS II Series with non-dedicated remote load cells, Chatillon also offers the STS Series of remote torque sensors. When combined with the DFS II-RND Series, these rugged and accurate sensors turn your force gauge into a torque measurement device: no need to purchase another gauge. As is the case with the ded- icated load cells, the gauge may be handheld our remotely mounted and the torque sensor may be manipulated to take the reading. This configuration also gives the...
