Unequalled Reliability

Every minute that your scale weighs inaccurately or doesn’t weigh at all costs you money. POWERCELL load cells have withstood the most extreme forces of nature for more than 20 years. The new POWERCELL PDX load cell takes this reliability to a new level and includes predictive diagnostics to keep you continuously informed about your scale’s performance:

• Weighing errors
• Overloading
• Environmental conditions
• Network health
• Load cell voltages
• Enclosure integrity

With other load cell technologies, problems can go undetected for long periods. Weighing errors add up until a load cell fails and shuts down your scale. The POWERCELL PDX load cell eliminates these concerns and gives you a proactive way to keep your scale running:

• Assuring you that your scale is working properly
• Alerting you to potential problems so they can be prevented
• Pinpointing the source of a problem for quick intervention

Simplified Communication - Digital Load Cell Network (No Junction Boxes)

POWERCELL PDX load cells connect to one another in a simple network, eliminating high-maintenance junction boxes and costly totalizers. In other systems, sensitive electronics are located in junction boxes, which are prone to failure and hard to seal against moisture. With POWERCELL PDX load cells, electronic components are protected inside the hermetically sealed load cell enclosures.

Load Cell Cables        

Load cell cables are often weak links in a network. POWERCELL PDX load cells use heavy-duty cables protected by braided stainless steel sheathing. The cables are designed to guarantee the integrity of the weight signal, protecting against radio frequency interference and damage caused by moisture, rodents, and machinery.

StrikeShield™ Protection

METTLER TOLEDO provides complete protection against lightning damage. StrikeShield lightning protection is designed to be the main line of defense for your entire vehicle scale system: load cells, cables, and terminals. It uses surge protectors and a singlepoint ground to keep your scale up and running by preventing electrical damage.

Breach Detection

In addition to its heavy-duty, hermetically sealed enclosure, the POWERCELL PDX load cell provides a second level of protection for its electronics. A built-in breach detection system alerts you if the enclosure is damaged by accidental puncture or tampering.

Unmatched Value

The POWERCELL PDX load cell offers a return on investment that no other load cell can match. When evaluating any scale, look at its total cost of ownership: initial costs + fixed costs + variable costs. Your scale’s initial cost and regular maintenance are easy to plan for, but the cost of unplanned servicecan be a real wild card. With its exceptional reliability and advanced diagnostics, the POWERCELL PDX load cell virtually eliminates the unplanned service costs that make other load cells a risky investment. It gives you unmatched value over the life of your scale.
