Vehicle Scales
Vehicle Scale Load Cells
Unequalled Accuracy and Reliability
POWERCELL
®
PDX
®
load cells deliver the ultimate in vehicle weighing. No other load cells
can match them for weighing vehicles accurately and reliably. They protect your profits by
ensuring that your vehicle scale outperforms all other vehicle scale technologies.
Lightning Protection
Guard your vehicle scale against costly damage with
POWERCELL

load cells and StrikeShield™
lightning protection. In
independent laboratory
testing, the POWERCELL
®
PDX
®
load cell has proven
its ability to survive light-
ning strikes up to 80,000
amperes, more than twice
the power of the average
strike.
Predictive Diagnostics
A built-in predictive diagnostics system constantly
monitors the load cell to verify that it is operating at
peak performance. By alerting you to potential prob-
lems, the diagnostics system helps prevent serious
weighing errors and scale failure.
Digital Compensation
A microprocessor inside each load cell continually
adjusts the weight signal to compensate for environ-
mental forces. It provides accurate weighing regard-
less of the effects of temperature, linearity, hysteresis,
and creep.
Simplified Network
POWERCELL

PDX
®
load cells connect
to one another in a simple network that
eliminates the need for failure-prone
junction boxes. Electronic components
are enclosed in the hermetically sealed
load cell to protect them from the
environment.
