The ADW15 weight controller is a versatile digital load cell instrument and display system in a panel mount format, optimised for single or multiple load cell and weighing applications. With very easy one-pass calibration and fast setup, and options of isolated analogue outputs, latching relays or digital outputs for control or alarm functions. The RS485 or RS232 options provide for digital communications (including setup) and can support label or ticket printers.For a wall or surface mount version, see model SMW Weighing Indicator / Controller, and for a wireless radio version, see our range of T24 Radio Telemetry Display Modules.

| Accuracy | typical ± 0.08% of output, ± 0.08%FSD |
| Resolution | as display resolution, max 15 bits |
| Calibration | by 15-turn pre sets for gain and offset |
| Inversion | By keypad value |
| Isolation | ±130V RMS or DC max to analogue input or to any other port |
| Ranging | Fully keypad scalable over desired display range |
| PID | Power level, when selected = 12 bit resolution output |
| Communication Port CP Operation | |
| All display data can be accessed via the communications port along with relay, PID power and EEPROM status. All user configurable data can be changed including EEPROM enable/disable and relay reset (address code cannot be changed). | |
