Chatillon® DFS-R-ND Series
Digital Indicator for Load and Torque Measurements

The Chatillon® DFS-R-ND Series supplies accurate load and torque measurement in a common gauge. Ideal for handheld or test stand applications, the DFS-R-ND may be equipped with smart loadcells or torque sensors. The auto-recognition feature knows whether a load or torque measurement is required. Measurement accuracy is better than 0.25% full scale (higher accuracy available). A large, easy-to-read, high resolution dot matrix LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, setpoints, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, load comparisons, % and sharp break detection, sensor actuation and direction. Measurements are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units or oz-in, g-cm, lb-in, N-cm and N-m units. The DFS-R-ND gauge comes standard with RS-232 cable, carrying case, battery adapter/charger, and Certificate of Conformance.
The DFS-R-ND is supplied with our NEXYGEN DF Series software.
