DI-100U/1000U/DI-1000ZP USB and Wireless Load Cell Interface

Highlights

Compatibility

Works with resistive load cells
DI-100 works with devices up to 3 mV/V
DI-1000 works with devices up to 2 to 25 mV/V
DI-1000 provides optional wireless connectivity with a IEEE 802.15.4 wireless protocol
If you are looking to connect your resistive load cell to a PLC or DAQ, you may want to take a look at our AI-1000 analog load cell interface which provides a single channel signal conditioner that outputs a 0.5V -4.5V DC signal proportional to applied loads

PC requirements

Windows compatible PC (XP/Vista/7)
15 MB disk space
256 MB memory

Customers who bought this load cell also bought:

UX-100 USB extender cables for 15 additional feet from the DI-100U or DI-1000U USB load cell interface
Optional USB Relays that can be programmed to open or close based on force input from load cell to PC
Optional LoadVUE load cell software to display, log and plot the force data from USB load cells

The DI-100 or DI-1000 Digital Load Cell Interface modules provide a simple, convenient method to convert existing millivolt output load cells into PC friendly USB Load Cells! Just plug in your strain gauge load cell into one connector of our Digital Load Cell Interfaces and connect the USB port to a PC and you get a PC-ready load cell. The DI-1000ZP offers a cordless rechargeable battery operated wireless solution for force measurement.

How it works

To start using one of these interface devices, simply connect the load cell to the terminal block on the interface device. Install the drivers provided on the software CD shipped with the product. Once installed, connect the USB connector to the PC via the USB port.

The load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator you can send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. If you type the "?" command, you can see all the available commands on the device.

Before using the load cells to measure, you need to calibrate the interface device to work with YOUR load cell. If you purchased the interface device with a load cell from us, it will come pre-calibrated. If you bought it stand-alone, then either enter the calibration coefficient (typically 2 mV/V) into the interface device via ASCII commands or perform a two point calibration with a known weight. Once calibration is complete, you can view forces or weights in millipounds. Please refer to the manuals page for calibration quick start guides.

You can either display the data one at a time or display it in continuous operation mode. Alternatively, use our LoadVUE (for e.g. LV-1000) application to view/log/plot data on a PC.

If you wish to use this device with multiple resistive load cells - then we recommend that you use one Di-100/Di-1000 for each load cell. Then you can calibrate each interface device to its connected load cell and then sum the four individual readings on a PC to get the total load. Using this approach - you will avoid the need to calibrate the entire system via a summing/junction box.
