Specifications. 

 

Capacity:

          1000Kg Rated Force  

 

Safety Factor:

  Side-load rejection ratio 500:1  

 

Safe side-load 100 % of R.C. Maximum safe central overload 150 % of R.C.  

 

Ultimate central overload 300 % of R.C. 

 

Physical Size:

  795mm x 795mm x 60mm  

 

Materials:

         Carbon Fibre Platform with non-slip Top.  

                          Load Cells complete with adjustable height feet assemblies that can adjust the height of the 

Plate to approx 120mm   

 

Sample Rate:

   Maximum Sampling Rate of 1000Hz on all channels via BMS version 2 (BMSv2) software 

program. 

 

Integration:

      400S+ Performance Force Plate + BMS Linear Position Transducer (LPT) is calibrated by 

users on site via the BMSv2 software via Tools\Configure\Calibration (tab window)  

 

Unique:

            Only Performance Force Plate on the market with a footprint size large enough for every 

users’ Centre of Mass (COM) to remain over this force plate for all testing functions for 
accurate data collection all the time.   It is also capable of running the BMS LPT & auto 
saving all data files + outputting to Excel via the BMS software. It also measures uni-lateral & 
bilateral R & L leg anterior / posterior & medio / lateral force - all done on this single 400S+ 
force plate! 

 

Only Performance Force Plate on the market capable of running on our new InnerBalance 
software tracking used to measure & record all anterior-posterior & mediolateral sway 
movements.   

 

Weight:

             400S+, 14.5 Kg (32 lbs)  

 

Operation:

       Integral PCB Module operates 4 Load Cells + Output powered via 5 V DC Computer USB 

Port only. Sensor type Steel Shear Beams rating 250Kg @ 3mV/V that are genuinely rated 
to sample @ 1000Hz. Simply install the software onto your Hard Drive and then connect the 
USB Cable plug into your Computer. The 400S requires no other power supply or charging 
of batteries is required.   

 

PCB monitors:

 Sensors # 1 

– 4 each have a Load cell cable connector 5 terminal plug (Molex) (four in total 

as shown on pages 3&4) sensors # 1&2, 3&4 may share a Load cell cable connector 10 
terminal plug (Molex) (two in total as shown on page 14). These connect to 4 Load cells. 
(see page 6).  

 

Outputs:

  

Communicates via 1 x USB 2.0 Cable that does not rely on Bluetooth or other wireless 

connection to the laptop, so has NO internal batteries - annoying flat battery and recharging 

issues are irrelevant!   

Power:

              Computer USB supplies 100% of power supply to operate the 400S from any PC or laptop 

USB Port. 1 

 

Cables:

             1 x USB 2.0 Extension Cable 3 M Long provided with all 400S units. This mean zero 

external RF interference.  

 

Connections:

  1 x RJ 45 Connection (located under the Force Plate) with connection lead supplied going to 

1K Ohm Potentiometer on the BMS LPT Model

 

PT5A-150-V62-UP-1K-M6-632676A

 

this 

LPT is an optional plug-in connection 

– only used if barbell tracking data is also required to 

be tracked simultaneously with the ground reaction force data (See pages 4 & 5).
