Typical capacity

This unit, as a weighing terminal, interfaces with load cells, so its capacity is dependent on the connected weighing platform, typically ranging from a few kilograms to several tonnes for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V AC, 50Hz, for operation.

Display type

Features a touchscreen interface, which is standard for the Datamaster range, offering intuitive user interaction.

Connectivity

Units of this type commonly include various communication ports (e.g., Ethernet, RS232, USB) for integration with other plant systems or peripherals.

Construction material

The housing is typically robust, often stainless steel or industrial-grade plastic, suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Operating environment

Designed for indoor use, often with an IP rating suitable for washdown areas in food processing, though buyers should confirm specific unit ratings.
