PLND4 Single-Channel Portable Load Indicators
PLND4 Single-Channel Portable Load Indicators
The Model PLND4 Single Channel Load Indicator is a portable battery powered 4 1/2 digit load indicator made for use with any full bridge. Indication is direct. No multipliers are required, thus avoiding ambigious readings. Resolution from 1 pound to 10000 pounds depending on the load capacity of the transducer. Alternate display units are available. Operation is extremely simple. For normal use only two controls are involved: Turn on the power switch, set no load balance or tare reading to zero, and begin reading applied loads.
The PLND4 series is nearing end of life due to obsolete components.
An announcement is coming soon on a replacement model.

Features
A calibration check function is included to provide a quick test of the transducer and instrument integrity.
The readout system is fully contained in an aluminum alloy case that is both rugged and durable.
Power is provided by a set of rechargable batteries. Batteries and a recharger, with 110 or 220 Vac power cord, are included within the housing. A detachable power cord is included for recharging.
Battery power allows complete freedom of use and provides 10-15 hours of continous usage depending on transducer resistance. A ratiometric measuring technique prevents battery decay from degrading system accuracy.
When battery voltage has decreased below a functional level, a visual display (flashing “:”) signals that recharging is needed.
