Celsum Technologies is supplying the new generation DSC digital strain card for the new VideoMedia coin-operated personal weighing machine, designed and manufactured by Avisis.
The VideoMedia scale is all-electronic and has an integral computer with a full-colour TFT touch-screen display which can be connected to the customer's network to allow live promotional broadcasts via the screen when not in use.
The scale is designed to encourage healthy living, allowing users to keep track of their weight from visit to visit.
The new generation DSC digital strain card is a miniature state-of-the-art digital amplifier manufactured using the latest surface mount technology.
The DSC combines a versatile, programmable strain gauge conditioning amplifier with a stable serial communications port available in RS232 and RS485 options with ASCII, Modbus, Mantrabus II and CAN protocols.
Paul Roche, Managing Director of Avisis, said: "Celsum Technologies provides the DSC in a package already wired and preprogrammed to allow the amplifier to be easily mounted in the VideoMedia scale during production at our recently refurbished UK factory".
Said Roy Carter, MD of Celsum Technologies: "We are delighted that the new generation DSC has been selected for the VideoMedia scale".
"The DSC provides a convenient, versatile and reliable means of getting information from an analogue strain-gauge device and into digital format with the minimum of fuss".
"The DSC may be programmed to give reading speeds of up to 400Hz, and resolution to 18bit (1 part in 400,000)".
"Multistep linearisation and temperature compensation is onboard, and the output may be programmed to be in engineering units if desired".
