PSDS-HSBK
Portable Sensor Display – Strain Bridge
Introduction/overview
The PSDS-HSBK allows simple display of strain bridge based measurements such
as load cells and pressure gauges with sensitivity up to +/-480 mV/V.
Up to six calibration ranges are available allowing for different loading
modes (tension and compression) or different sensors. Each calibration range
will remember settings that contribute to the user experience such as selected
units and tare values.
TEDS devices using templates 33, 40 and 41 can be connected and will update
the viewed calibration. The last twenty TEDS devices connected will be
remembered and recognized when connected again reverting to the last user
experience settings for that device. TEDS can be disabled and the internal
calibration ranges become available again.
There are also up to six display modes available. These determine what is
visible on the LCD display and what actions are available from the set of
three soft keys.
Full configuration is available with a free PC based toolkit. Some simple
configuration such as two point calibration is available from within the
handheld using the menu system.
Getting started
This document is designed to give a very quick overview of the PSDS-HSBK and its general, standard functionality. For more details, see the full manual.
Hardware overview
The Load Cell connector fitted to PSD Standard Product is BINDER 770-8. The cable fitted mating connector is a BINDER 771 8-way male connector. There are three versions available with different field cable diameters.
| Cable pair | Suggested Colour | Connector Pin | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | White | 1 | Loadcell Reference +ve |
| Black | 2 | Loadcell Reference -ve | |
| 2 | Green | 3 | Loadcell Signal +ve |
| Black | 4 | Loadcell Signal -ve | |
| 3 | Red | 5 | Loadcell Excitation + ve |
| Black | 6 | Loadcell Excitation – ve | |
| 4 | Blue | 7 | TEDS |
| Black | 8 | Ground | |
| Screen | Grey | Cable screen should only be connected to chassis of the |
sensor.
If this cannot be achieved, then it should be connected to Excitation -ve.
Setting up without the Toolkit
Quick, limited setup is possible using just the handheld and no toolkit. To access all the configuration features, you will need to use the toolkit.
Calibration
Please note that this must be done in the correct order for the calibration to
work correctly. Changing the Sensitivity after inputting mV/V readings will
cause the calibration to be void. Always make sure you finish with Apply
Change units
In all standard display modes, scrolls through the available units for the selected calibration.
Change decimal places
In all standard display modes, a 2 second press shifts the decimal place position for the selected units.
Overload/underload alarm
Please note, the values saved for the thresholds are applied in the calibrated units of the currently selected range. This means that different ranges will trigger at different loads if the calibrated unit is different.
Using TEDS
Plug in a TEDS enabled load cell.
Toolkit
Toolkit overview
More complex setup is possible using the supplied toolkit software.
Install the toolkit onto your windows PC and connect the USB to the PSDS-HSBK.
Then open the toolkit: 
Navigation is achieved using the icons along the top of the toolkit.
