The PSD is a hand-held, battery-powered, two-channel indicator for strain gauge-based load cells. It is a simplistic, easy-to-use indicator that is close to a direct reading system.
Prior to starting a calibration or verification check, the user simply needs to plug in the load cell, turn on the unit, and press tare. The unit has a peak hold feature to remember the maximum force applied.
This product has been replaced with our PSDS indicator, as we continue to provide better technology for our customers.
The PSD hand-held load cell indicator weighs only 250 grams and is easy to carry. It is an ideal replacement for harder-to-use meters that require multiple input and read values.
PSD hand-held load cell indicator features include:

Note: Typically, most handheld meters are good for applications requiring better than 0.2 % of full-scale accuracy applications. 0.05 % of full scale can be achieved when paired with the right load cell and a more frequent calibration interval. The ideal accuracy specification is around 0.1 % of full scale. If the calibration requirements are to either ASTM E74 or ISO 376, the PSD is not a good fit.
The Morehouse C705P, 4215 Plus, or HADI indicators are much better options capable of better than 0.005 % of full scale or better (often better than 0.002 % of full scale).
