SMW Intelligent Loadmeter

This panel or wall mounting loadmeter is designed for use with strain gauge loadcells.

It is a self contained instrument that combines ease of use with a wide range of features including analogue output as standard and options to add trip points and serial communications.

The 4 to 20mA and 0 to 10V outputs can both be used at the same time but only one can be accurately calibrated. See the SMW specification for more information. The normal set-up is to calibrate the 4 to 20mA output accurately unless special instructions are given with an order. The analogue output is uni-polar so if a bi-directional loadcell is used the only way to scale the amplifier is to set the mid-point of the analogue output equal to zero load. This will be 12mA or 5V.

All set up functions are via the IP65 sealed keypad using a simple menu system. A version is available for panel mounting in control enclosures, the main circuit board being DIN rail mounted within the enclosure. The eight digit LCD display is also available with back lighting.

An RS232/RS485 serial communications option is available for single links or multi-drop applications of up to 25 weigh stations.

If the SMW is supplied with a loadcell it will normally be calibrated to read the loadcell output in the same force units as the loadcell calibration. A traceable system certificate will be supplied for the loadmeter and loadcell combination.
