Imada

DS2 Digital Force Gauge

Superseded by New Improved DST Digital Force Gauge

Standard Features

  • Simple operation, easy-to-use, accurate
  • Large easy-to-read LCD display
  • Ergonomic, durable, heavy-duty metal construction
  • Push-button selectable lbf, kgf, and Newton units
  • RS-232C, Digimatic and analog outputs
  • Programmable High/Low setpoints with LCD indicators
  • Overload capacity 200% F.S.
  • Overload alarm, display flashes at overload limit
  • Low battery icon
  • Runs on internal NI-MH batteries or AC adapter
  • Selectable real time or peak mode operation
  • Push-button tare function
  • Reversible display
  • Set of six attachments, AC charger/adapter and carrying case
  • The DS2 series is Imada’s most economical digital force gauge. It features a large, easy-to-read LCD display and simple push-button operation. An ergonomic metal housing protects the highly accurate loadcell and electronics in tough industrial environments.
  • The gauge can measure both tension and compression, with an icon indicating the direction on the display. A low battery icon will appear when the NI-MH batteries are low. Overload icon will flash and unit will emit audible alarm at 110% of full scale.
  • If desired, you can program high/low setpoints to enable Go/NoGo testing using the LCD indicators. Standard outputs (RS-232C, Digimatic, and ±1VDC analog) enable you to acquire data for permanent records.
