3. SSI PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
The SSI Smart Sensor Indicator is a hand-held, programmable meter and datalogger for
load, torque or pressure applications. Advanced capabilities include:
1. “Plug and Play” operation with automatic scaling at power-up with TEDS IEEE 1451.4
compliant load cells.
2. Instrument Calibration indicator (CAL INSTRUMENT) to show when the meter is due
for calibration. Flashing indicates either that the instrument is due for calibration or will
be due in less than 30 days. Steady indicates that the instrument is now due for
calibration.
3. Sensor Calibration indicator (CAL SENSOR) to show when an actively attached TEDS
sensor is due for calibration. Flashing indicates either that the sensor is due for
calibration or will be due in less than 30 days. Steady indicates that the sensor is now
due for calibration.
4. Calibration Indicators can be enabled or disabled.
5. Menu-driven scaling of non-TEDS-compliant load cells via keypad with a choice of two
scaling methods: manually entered coordinates of two points, or reading coordinates
of two points using input signals.
6. PC-based scaling of non-TEDS-compliant load cells using Instrument Setup software,
again with a choice of two scaling methods.
7. Keypad selectable units of measure for load, torque or pressure, with automatic con-
version of readings between units.
8. Lockout feature to simplify meter operations and prevent inadvertent changes.
9. Ultra-fast signal sampling rate of 15,360 samples/second (when set for 60 Hz noise
rejection) or 12,800 samples/second (when set for 50 Hz noise rejection).
10. Normal conversion rate of 60/second (when set for 60 Hz noise rejection) or
50/second (when set for 50 Hz noise rejection), with digital averaging of every 256
samples. Allows display of filtered or unfiltered readings, capture of Peak, First Peak
or Valley.
11. Selectable Fast conversion rates up to 7,680/second (when set for 60 Hz noise
rejection) or 6,400/second (when set for 50 Hz noise rejection). Always unfiltered,
allows capture of Peak or First Peak.
12. Display update rate at 3.75/second (when set for 60 Hz noise rejection) or
3.125/second (when set for 50 Hz noise rejection). Display batch averages of 16
conversions or moving averages of conversions.
13. USB port for direct connection to a PC at baud rates from 300/second to 38.4k/
second.
14. Data logging to internal memory of up to 16,000 time and date stamped displayed
readings at up to 60 or 50 captures/second. Data logging may be single or continuous.
15. Selectable memory protection to prevent overwriting previously stored data.
