Introduction/overview
The PSDS-HSBK allows 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.

Setting up without the Toolkit
Quick, limited setup is possible using just the handheld and no toolkit. To access all the configuration features,
you will need to use the toolkit.
Calibration
Please note that this must be done in the correct order for the calibration to work
correctly. Changing the Sensitivity after inputting mV/V readings will cause the
calibration to be void. Always make sure you finish with Apply

Please note, the values saved for the thresholds are applied in the calibrated units of the
currently selected range. This means that different ranges will trigger at different loads if
the calibrated unit is different.
