The Mass Monitor moment-insensitive load cell uses a variable capacitance sensor and custom electronics to offer high resolution and weighing accuracy. The unit is ideal for products and systems that use a digital signal and require a highly accurate load cell. The Mass Monitor is comprised of a patented variable capacitance ceramic sensor, weighing platform, custom signal conditioning circuitry, and an optional electronic display board. The load cell module is available in any weighing capacity from 200 grams to 50 kilograms, and is accurate to 10 ppm. Software enhancements include resolution selection, a choice of display update settings, and expanded calibration options for operating in harsh environments. The load cell can be easily installed in virtually any scale base or other weight-supporting structure using only three bolts. Supplied electronic circuitry automatically linearizes and compensates the load cell’s output signal for temperature. The circuit also includes a display connector and RS232 serial data interface for bi-directional communications with the controlling or indicating device.
