The pendant weight-sensor (DP) is designed to automate weighing operations at loading/unloding by lifting magnets at ferrous metallurgy plants and scrap yards.

The use of DP along with the DPN-125 voltage transducer allows to optimize loading/unloading and locate bottlenecks.

The obtained data on loading (i.e. weights of loads in a single cycle of lifting, transferring and lowering) and unloading (the total of loading cycles per a single cargo vehicle) allows to keep to keep track as well as to check the factual volume of loading/unloading per a single hoisting machine (crane, forklift, excavator, etc.) against the declared volume.

The DP is installed between a crane's hook the chain sling of the lifting magnet. The DP's power supply cable is attached in parallel with the magnet's power terminals.

The data transfer from the DP to the operator's control unit is carried via interference-tolerant radio-channel.

The DP's casing reliably protects the measuring unit from any kind of mechanical damage.

DP's features:

• automatic weighing at loading/unloading;
• totalling the loading weight (calculation of a single unloading session);
• recording the weight and the number of loading cycles per the current and previous freight car, as well as the weights and unloading cycles (up to 250 cargo vehicles) into the device's internal memory;
• copying of the current and stored data from the operator's display. Storing (analysing) the data onto a personal computer (the data transfer is performed by means of an SD memory card).
