T34D Digital Column

The T34D is a digital compression column stainless steel load cell with a self-centring rocker column design for use in legal-for-trade applications.  It has an internal state-of-the-art microprocessor that improves accuracy, resolution and corner correction adjustment.  Individual communication with the weight indicator, or a PC, allows faster fault finding and load cell replacement.

It is especially suitable for use in truck scales / weighbridges thanks to its OIML C4 (4000 divisions) approval, robust design, proven rotation stop and rodent resistant (anti-rat) polyurethane cable.

With a fully welded and hermetically sealed construction, protected to IP68 & IP69K, and integral lighting protection as standard, it is simple to install and has become the benchmark load cell solution for vehicle scales. Over 300,000 units of this design have been successfully installed worldwide.

To simplify the commissioning of a truck scale or weighbridge, the T34D digital load cell uses an RS485 full duplex digital interface to allow simpler and faster corner adjustment and calibration, compared with analogue load cells.

The associated LA34 mounting accessory provides: 2 mounting cups with a rotation stop, as well as 3 alignment washers, a protection gasket and a sealing clip.  The mounting cups are available in nickel plated steel or stainless steel.

Key features:

• Capacity range from 15,000kg to 60,000kg
• Stainless steel construction
• Built-in microprocessor
• Digital RS485 interface for simpler and faster pre-corner adjustment, system calibration, fault finding and maintenance
• Legal-for-trade approval to OIML R60 C4 (4000 divisions)
• Fully welded and hermetically sealed stainless steel load cell, protected to IP68 & IP69K
• Simple installation with self-centering design
• In-built surge arrestors (GDTs) for lightning protection as standard
• Special polyurethane cable which has high toughness and resistance to cuts, chemicals, UV radiation and rodent (rat) bites, etc.
• Analogue version, T34, also available

Benefits compared with analogue T34 load cell:

• Higher resolution (up to 1,000,000 steps from zero to full scale)
• Intelligent, error-free compensation for each individual load cell, with simpler and faster corner adjustment
• Simpler and faster maintenance with continuous, individual self-diagnosis
• Remote diagnostics via modem using direct PC connection
• Greater EMC protection against interference (digital signal transmission)
• Direct PC connection via RS485 bus and RS232 converter, up to 1200 metres away (RS485)
• Internal signal filtering

Options:

• Parylene coating for the load cell when used in extremely harsh / corrosive environments
• High temperature version upto 150 °C (continuous temperature) available

Typical applications:

• Truck scales, weighbridges, wagon tippler and vehicle weighing

The T34D load cell can also be used for weighing high capacity silos and tanks in critical storage applications where continuous monitoring of the load cell signals is required, for safety (or other) reasons.  In such applications, an alternative solution is Thames Side's Intelligent Junction Box combined with a set of analogue T34 load cells and the LA34 Silo Assembly.
