The Basic Loadstar Sensors DI-1000U High Precision Load Cell Interface module provides a
convenient method to convert nearly any existing millivolt output load cell into a PC friendly USB
load cell! Just attach your 4 or 6 wire strain gauge load cell to the convenient 8-pin wiring
connector, plug the USB host connector to your PC
, and voila! you’ve got a complete Windows PC
ready load cell measurement system. The unit can be powered entirely by the PC ’s USB port. The
included AC power adapter is needed only for wireless capable DI-1000ZP units with battery
backup.
The DI-1000ZP offers the following additional features:
1) Internal ZigBee wireless networking. With the advanced power saving features can run for
long periods of time without any cable connections.
2) Extended input voltage 6 – 32V input, compatible with industrial process control
3) Included Li-Polymer battery, for true cable free operation, for up to 5 hours.
4) This unit can also be used in wired USB mode for faster throughput.
Either DI-1000 device version offers the same high precision load cell to PC interface. With
consistent remote programming, built in LoadVUE software compatibility, and low power operation,
either DI-1000 device is sure to play a key role in your high performance measurement system.

May be powered from USB Host (if connected). No need for AC adapter for most load
cells.
Standards Compliant 5.00V load cell excitation
Supports 200(optional)/300/330/350 Ohm (or higher) Load cells
Supports 4-wire and 6-wire load cell connections for improved accuracy
All user input program parameters stored in non-volatile memory.
Convenient small industrial case, for convenient mounting options in your equipment
Power On/Off switch, allows manual control.
Extended Module Features:
(including the features above, the extended DI-1000ZP also includes: )
