The IND246 and IND246 POWERCELL industrial scale terminals provide a
compact yet flexible solution to a variety of weighing needs. Available as either AC
powered for stationary applications or battery-powered for portable analog load cell
applications, this terminal is at home in virtually any industrial environment.
Innovative use of Secure Data (SD) Memory technology expands the memory
available for data storage when required.
Unless stated otherwise, IND246 refers to both the analog and POWERCELL
versions.
Both 2mv/V and 3mv/V analog load cells are supported without the need for
any configuration change. The POWERCELL model supports the advanced
capabilities of POWERCELL PDX and GDD load cells, featuring sophisticated self-
diagnostics. The PowerDeck model for POWERCELL supports a connector for quick
home run cable termination, faster calibration and automatic addressing. The
IND246 delivers precision measurement data from grams to tons in a single, cost
effective package.
