DCT Digital Force Indicator Model LC Ranges to 50 000 lbs. Compression Measurement High/Low Force Capture Manual

The Model LC Digital Force Indicator is a highly portable force measurement device. With its 9V battery supply and compact size the indicator can easily be carried to remote locations to perform force measurement calibrations. The unit can measure compression forces up to 50,000 lbs. The peak capture feature allows the highest force reading taken to be displayed with the push of a button. A zero/tare button is also standard on all models. The remote location of the load sensor minimizes the chance of damage to the electronic body of the gauge. The stainless steel construction of the sensor and the indicator makes them resistant to the occasional mishandling than can occur in the field. Optional handles are available for the load cell and gauge. See our web site for more information.
