Product catalog summary
Overview: The PSD Portable Sensor Display by Magtrol is a compact, handheld device designed for high-accuracy measurement and display of strain gauge transducer signals. It features a 0.01% accuracy rate, a measuring rate of up to 1,600 values per second, and can connect to various strain gauge transducers. The device is powered by batteries or USB and includes a 5-digit LCD display.
Specifications:
  • Measurement: Accuracy class of 0.01%, input signal range of ±0.3 to 5 mV/V, and an input impedance range of >150 Ω.
  • Display: 5-digit LCD with a range of ±99,999, and a display rate of 3 seconds.
  • Electrical Characteristics: Powered by 3 AA batteries or USB, with an operating time of approximately 40 hours on batteries.
  • Environment: Operating temperature range from -10°C to +50°C, storage range from -20°C to +70°C, and protection class IP 54.
Applications: Suitable for use with force sensors, load cells, torque sensors, and other strain gauge transducers. Ideal for maintenance, intermittent monitoring, and research in environments where fixed installations are impractical.

PSD | Portable Sensor Display-1

PORTABLE SENSOR DISPLAY FEATURES ▪ 0.01% Accuracy ▪ Rigid Versatile Handheld Instrument ▪ Min.-Max. Value Display (Peak & Valley) ▪ 16 Programmable Measurement Ranges ▪ Measuring Rate up to 1 600 values per second ▪ Connection to any type of Strain Gauge Transducers ▪ USB 2.0 Interface ▪ Battery-powered or USB-powered Device ▪ Display Units ▪ Character Height: 14 mm ▪ Can be programmed directly on the device or by software (provided). DESCRIPTION The PSD Portable Sensor Display from Magtrol is a very compact, light and easy to use device. This amplifier can process sensor strain gauge signals ±0.3 … 5 mV/V. High measuring accuracy, paired with fast measuring rates allow an internal resolution of 22 bits at 2 mV/V. It also stores the adjustment data, sensor designation and physical unit. Functions, such as TARE, recall of min.-max. value,... are available during the measurement. The device is powered by 3 AA batteries or via its USB Mini-B port. In order to increase its duration of use, the PSD integrates an automatic standby mode which is activated when the device is not used. Fig. 1: PSD | Portable Sensor Display PSD PORTABLE SENSOR DISPLAY The PSD Display can be used with many sensors such as force sensors, load cells, torque sensors, anchor sensors or any other type of strain gauge transducers. This portable measurement and display system is particularly suitable in cases where a fixed installation is difficult or irrelevant, such as: ▪ Maintenance of installation ▪ Intermittent monitoring ▪ Laboratory, Research and development,... ▪ Installation or monitoring in civil engineering,... © 2021 MAGTROL | Due to continual product development, Magtrol reserves the right to modify specifications without forewarning.

PSD RELATED PRODUCTS As presented in «System Configuration», the PSD can be used with many of Magtrol's products, as well as with any third party manufacturer's sensors that base their measurement system on strain gauge technology. MB-02 SERIES - MINIATURE LOAD PINS Magtrol MB-02 Series Miniatures Load Measuring Pins are used to measure load and force and provide overload protection. The pins are mounted into machines in place of normal shafts and fitted with strain gauges, allowing them to produce a signal proportional to the measured load. Manufactured in Switzerland, Magtrol’s MB-02 Series...
