Operating Manual

ELS - Enhanced Load Sensor

Enhanced load sensors or ELS for short, are smart devices used to capture load readings

for MultiTest

-dV

test stands operating in

dV

(u) mode.

All calibration information is held in the individual load cell meaning they can be

swapped from system to system and the calibration will follow.

These load cells are available in a range of sizes and designs to best suit your

requirements. See the

MultiTest-dV Specification

of this document for details relating

to capture rate and accuracy.

A selection of enhanced load sensors (Not all ELS devices shown are compatible with

MultiTest
