USING REMOTE SENSORS
The DFS II-R-ND Series digital force gauge can be
used with two different types of sensors:
n SLC Loadcell Sensors
n STS Torque Sensors
SLC LOADCELL SENSORS
The SLC Series loadcell sensors have been
designed to work exclusively with the DFS-R-ND
and DFS II-R-ND Series force gauges. These sen-
sors are NOT compatible with previous Chatillon®
digital gauges that used interchangeable sensors.
The SLC Sensor is inserted into the 15-pin connec-
tor located on the side of the DFS II-R-ND gauge.
The gauge will automatically recognize the sensor
type and its associated capacity and resolutions.
The SLC Series sensor is available in capacities
from 250gf to 1000 lbf. Multiple sensors can be
used to mount to a single DFS II-R-ND gauge.
This can provide the user with cost savings and
convenience. The disadvantage is the DFS II-R-
ND with remote sensors has an accuracy of better
than 0.25% full scale (compared to a dedicated
sensor with accuracy of better than 0.1% full
scale).
TheexiblecableusedwiththeSLCsensorsare
ideal for applications where access to the sample
under test is limited. The cable, when fully extended,
reaches approximately 9 feet (3 meters).
STS TORQUE SENSORS
The STS Series torque sensors have been designed
to work exclusively with the DFS-R-ND and DFS II-
R-ND Series force gauges. These sensors are NOT
compatible with previous Chatillon® digital gauges
that used interchangeable sensors. The STS Sen-
sor is inserted into the 15-pin connector located on
the side of the DFS II-R-ND gauge. The gauge will
automatically recognize the sensor type and its as-
sociated capacity and resolutions.
The STS Series sensor is available in capacities
from 3 in-lbs to 200 in-lbs. Different capacity
sensors may be plugged into the DFS II-R-ND
depending on the application requirements. The
gauge’s automatic recognition eliminates the need
tocongurethecapacitiesandresolution.
The STS Series sensors come with different hex
ttingsforattachingtothetestsample.TheSTS
sensor is turned and the gauge will indicate torque
and torque direction. The cable, when fully
extended, reaches approximately 9 feet (3 meters).
