The DMS485 is a battery-powered hand-held digital tension indicator designed for use with all strain-gauge based hand-held tension sensors including model CBM (CableBull) and others. The DMS485 features a 3-1/2 digit LCD display along with convenient slide switches for easy operation. Features include Auto-Zero, Hold and Averaging Mode providing the flexibility to meet a wide variert of tension measuring tasks.

The combination of portability and functionality makes the Digitens DMS485 and excellent choice for use with strain-gauge based hand-held tension sensors.

  • High-contrast, easy-to-read 13 mm LCD display
  • Battery Life of at least 12 hours with standard alkaline 9V / 400mAh disposable battery
  • Model with rechargeable batteries also available
  • For use with all strain-gauge based tension sensor (Impedance of 350 Ohms or higher)
  • Optional Analog Output for recording/datalogging purposes (10mV / display digit)
  • Operating Temperature Range of -4°C up to 158°F (-20°C up to 70°C)

DMS485 DynGraph

DMS485 DynGraph option visually displays tension peaks (high and low peaks) using a series of LEDs DisplayThe measuring amplifier DMS485 is provided with a digital display. The analog signals of the connected sensor are digitized for that purpose. For analog / digital conversion an integrating measuring method averaging over 0.5 seconds is used. The dynamic parts of the tension signal - its amplitude and frequency of occurrence - are not displayed because of the generation of mean value.

In many processes, e.g.

  • spinning
  • weaving
  • texturizing etc.
especially the dynamic parts, e.g. the tension peaks and their frequency of occurrence, are important information.

The additional display DynGraph - based on LED-technology - works without delay and shows correct amplitudes up to high frequencies. It offers - additional to the quasi static mean value of the digital display - the information on the dynamic.
