Chatillon DFS Series w/ Remote Cell
Chatillon DFS Series w/ Remote Cell 
The Chatillon® DFS-R Series supplies accurate load measurement for capacities up to 1000 lbf, 5 kN. Ideal for handheld or test stand applications,measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale. A large, easy-to-read, high resolution dot matrix LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, setpoints, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, load comparisons, % and sharp break detection, sensor actuation and direction. Measurements are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The DFS-R gauge comes standard with RS-232 cable, carrying case, battery adapter/charger, and NIST Certificate of Calibration with data. Uncertainty data per ISO/IEC 17025 is supplied standard with sensors. The DFS-R gauge may be supplied with or without our Nexygen Gauge Software.
