Load Cell Simulator
The LCS-3 load cell simulator is an excellent tool for pre-calibrating load cell systems before installation, or for checking the performance of a load cell or weight indicator during troubleshooting activity. It provides a mV/V output that can be set by the operator to simulate the changing signal from a load cell as the weight varies.
This model is characterised by low drift, high accuracy (typically +/- 0.025%) with good thermal stability (25 ppm/°C). It offers several features such as a switch for +/- polarity, the option to change the output in discrete steps or continuously, with an operation LED to show the unit is receiving an excitation voltage from the weighing electronics.
For simulation of the effects of safety barriers in hazardous applications, a +/- sense switch is also available.
