The Measurement Systems International Porta-Weigh Plus Crane Scale represents a new level of technology and performance in the scale industry. A 16 bit microcontroller coupled with an alphanumeric display gives unprecedented versatility and programmability from a crane scale. Advanced power saving circuitry provides in excess of 2000 hours of operating time from ordinary “D” cell alkaline batteries. The large, backlit alphanumeric display provides precise, unambiguous indication of operating modes such as Net and Gross. Digital calibration simplifies crane scale maintenance. The single circuit board, fully shockmounted and marine-proof construction makes for a rugged and reliable overhead scale.
Designed to meet or exceed all USA, Canadian, United Kingdom, and International standards.
Rugged construction throughout. Single printed circuit board is shock mounted to withstand shocks in excess of 50 G’s. Switches are totally sealed and rated for over 10 million operations.
Precise high resolution 20 bit A/D conversion coupled with advanced 16 bit microcontroller provides world class features and accuracy.
Six 1.65 inch high (42 mm) digits for clear crane scale weight readings from a distance.
Easy to read annunciation of measurement modes such as NET or GROSS scale readings are provided on eight .825 inch (20.9 mm) alphanumeric characters. Also used for menu prompts.
Display illumination uses rugged, long life, electroluminescent backlighting coupled with a transflective liquid crystal display providing optimum display contrast under all ambient conditions from full sunlight to total darkness. Operation is light-sensing automatic or manually set.
Exceptional battery life: Typically 2000 hours of continuous use provided by 8 alkaline “D” cell batteries. Maximum battery life is reduced by use of the backlighting; full time low light operation will provide up to 300 hours of operation. A typical operating cycle of 8 hours daylight use and 2 hours night use will provide 10 months of operation on a single battery change. The Porta-Weigh Plus Crane Scale will automatically power down when not in use (this feature can be disabled). A low battery indication appears when approximately 10% of battery life remains.
Easy to maintain: Full digital crane scale calibration assures reliable, repeatable measurements.
Complete marine sealing ensures reliable operations under harsh weather conditions.
Anti-EMI shielding is standard. Low emissions and susceptibility.
Easily customized for special applications.
IR Remote control is available as an option. Adds keyboard tare and other features.
