DS3 Digital Weighing Indicator

• Digital Load Cell System: Supports 1–16 compatible digital load cells for multi-point weighing applications.
• Individual Load Cell Monitoring: Allows operators to check individual sensor data for easier diagnostics and maintenance.
• Long-Distance Communication: RS485 digital load-cell communication supports transmission distances of approximately 1000 m.
• Corner Error Adjustment: Supports automatic, semi-automatic and manual corner correction.
• Dual-Division Switching: Automatically switches between two division settings according to the configured weighing range.
• Calibration Correction: Provides non-linearity and calibration-error correction functions.
• Large Data Storage: Stores vehicle, tare, cargo and weighing records with power-off protection.
• Computer Communication: RS232C and RS485 interfaces support connection to compatible computers and management systems.
• External Display Support: 20 mA current-loop interface supports compatible remote scoreboards.
• External Printer Support: Provides a printing interface for compatible wide-line and micro printers.
• AC/DC Power: Supports mains power and an external 12 V battery configuration.

• Digital floor scales
• Electronic truck scales and weighbridges
• Static railway weighing systems
• Large livestock platform scales with compatible digital load cells
• Cattle weighing platforms and pen scales
• Pig weighing platforms and cage scales
• Sheep and goat weighing systems
• Farm feed and material weighing stations

• Use only compatible digital load cells and confirm the required communication protocol before installation.
• Assign and verify individual load-cell communication addresses during commissioning.
• Disconnect the power supply before connecting sensors, communication cables or external equipment.
• Perform corner correction and system calibration after installation or load-cell replacement.
• Use the individual sensor-data function to diagnose abnormal load cells or communication faults.
• Install communication cables away from high-power motors and other strong electrical interference sources where possible.
• Keep the indicator in a clean, dry and ventilated location.
• Do not expose the indicator directly to livestock-house washdown or high-pressure water.
• Inspect power, RS485, RS232 and external display connections periodically.
• Back up important parameters and weighing records before major servicing or configuration changes.

Q: How many digital load cells can the DS3 connect?
A: It supports 1 to 16 compatible digital load cells.

Q: Can the DS3 display individual load-cell data?
A: Yes. Individual sensor data and communication status can be checked for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Q: Does the DS3 have a built-in printer?
A: No. The DS3 does not include a built-in ticket printer, but compatible external printers can be connected.

Q: Can it connect to a computer?
A: Yes. RS232C and RS485 communication interfaces support connection to compatible computer systems.

Q: Can an external large display be connected?
A: Yes. A 20 mA current-loop interface is provided for a compatible remote scoreboard.

Q: How many weighing records can be stored?
A: The indicator can store up to 1001 weighing records.

Q: Can the DS3 operate from a battery?
A: Yes. In addition to AC power, an external 12 V battery can be used.

Q: Can the DS3 be used with livestock scales?
A: Yes. It can be integrated with compatible static cattle, pig, sheep and other livestock weighing systems that use supported digital load cells.
