Quick Start Guide
9325

The 9325 allows for 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.
