Description

Connect common strain gage-based load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors to Models M7I, M5I, and M3I indicators with their user-configurable adapters.

Sensor capacity and resolution may be configured via an included software utility, which includes a library of common force capacities from 0.12 to 750,000 lbF (0.5 N to 4,000 kN), and torque capacities from 10 ozFin to 40,000 lbFft (7 Ncm to 57,000 Nm). An identification number may be configured, which is displayed upon indicator power-up or the indicator’s Information screen.

Through Plug & Test® technology, all configuration and calibration information is saved within the adapters. This flexibility allows for interchangeability between multiple sensors with any Mark-10 indicator or Series F test frame.

Features / Specifications:

• Compatible with strain gage-based load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors
• Screw terminal block allows for easy connection of sensor wires
• Configure sensor capacity, resolution, and identification number via included software utility
• Program the adapter via USB or RS-232 through the indicator
• Supplied with a strain relief, user-writeable identification label

Sensor Requirements:

• Type: Full bridge
• Resistance: 300 – 1000 ohms
• Sensitivity: 1-3 mV/V

Indicator Requirements:

• Mark-10 indicator with firmware version 1.0.9 or later

* The PTA adapter cannot be configured using older indicator versions. The PTA adapter can be used with older indicator versions, however, the adapter cannot be calibrated for single-direction load cells, such as load button and through hole type load cells.
