Mass Measurement


Instrotech's latest weighing transmitter technology

April 2012 Mass Measurement

Instrotech has announced the launch of its latest multi-function weighing transmitter, the model 6004MF version II. It is a powerful, compact, field-mounted unit that can be selected for a variety of weighing functions. Specifically designed for servicing organisations, weighing equipment manufacturing companies and individual users, the 6004MF is a unit that can be used for almost any application in the weighing industry and finds application in the areas of load cell transmitting, belt-weighing, loss-in-weight, throughput weighing, bag-filling and batch-weighing. A multi-function unit allows the user to keep one spare that can replace any of the above-mentioned functions in the field. This also reduces the stock holding requirements for manufacturers, integrators and factories.

The transmitter is housed in a powder-coated, cast aluminium housing with a splash-proof keypad, a clear 6-digit LED main display, an auxiliary LCD display and user programmable function keys, digital inputs and relay outputs. It features pre-calibration of sensitivity and range, zero trim and deadweight span, and also has a 15-point lineariser, min-max hold, auto-zero maintenance and preset tare.

PI control with auto-manual set-points, bumpless transfer and anti-reset wind-up are standard and there is an SD Card Bootloader for remote Internet firmware updates and program specials. The 6004MF allows for various inputs, including load cell, incremental encoder and six digital. It also features an isolated analogue output of 0-10 V or 0/4–20 mA.
