Helios PD2-6100 Strain Gauge, Load Cell, and mV Meter
Introduction
The Helios PD2-6100 is a multi-purpose, easy to use,
large-display digital strain gauge & load cell meter
ideal for weighing and force measurement
applications. With a max current of 350 mA at 10 V, it
can support up to twelve (12) 350 Ω load cells
(minimum load resistance of 28 Ω), making it ideal for
multipoint weight measurement applications. It also
features large 1.8 inch superluminous LED digits,
which can be read from up to 100 feet away. It is
housed in a water-resistant, field mountable, NEMA
4X/IP65 rated enclosure for convenient indoor and
outdoor installation.
The programming buttons are located behind the
lower panel door and are not generally accessible
during operation. For that reason, we recommend the
use of the PDA2364-MRUE remote control station
which has four buttons to mimic the buttons behind
the panel. An additional control station, model
PDA2361-T, is available to remotely tare the meter.
The meter accepts mV input signals up to 300 mV.
Three of the programming buttons can be custom-
programmed for a specific operation. The mV input
can be scaled to display the process in two different
scales; for example, pounds on the upper display and
gallons on the lower display.
A fully loaded Helios PD2-6100 meter comes with four
SPDT relays, a 4 20 mA output, one 10 VDC sensor
excitation, one 24 VDC power supply, five digital
inputs and four digital outputs, and onboard RS-485
serial communications.
The four relays can be used for alarm indication or
process control applications. The 4-20 mA isolated
output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and
digital I/O features make the Helios an excellent
addition to any system.
