DA110 Handheld Indicator Offers Traceable Field Accuracy

HBK's DA110 Handheld Indicator pairs with strain gauge sensors and transducers for mobile calibration and material testing.

Field technicians calibrating industrial machinery, weighing systems, and complex measurement chains often need laboratory-grade accuracy without hauling equipment back to a stationary lab. The DA110 Handheld Indicator is a portable measurement device that simplifies setup and maintains accuracy across diverse field systems.

The indicator integrates with a wide range of strain gauge sensors, including full bridge and 4- or 6-wire configurations from 80 to 5,000 Ω, as well as transducers for force, torque, and weighing applications. A built-in Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) enables automatic sensor recognition, letting technicians switch between distinct measurement tasks instantly.

The device can be calibrated by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) to operate as a fully traceable reference instrument within an organization's existing calibration chain, providing audit-ready documentation suitable for high-end reference and service use. It offers an accuracy class of up to 0.01% of full scale at a 4.8 kHz sample rate, with high-speed sampling up to 19.2 kHz at 0.1% accuracy for capturing rapid, dynamic force profiles.

The indicator supports calibration of stamping and forming presses, hydraulic workshop presses, press brakes, assembly machines, and torque verification systems directly on-site, eliminating the need for stationary lab setups. When paired with industrial load cells, it serves as a mobile reference system to verify weighing installations in silos, tanks, and filling stations—testing individual load cells, verifying summed signals, and detecting mechanical drift or settling to support billing compliance and material balance control without interrupting plant workflows.
