Supported Applications
The Omega DFG-RS5 is a universal digital indicator designed for displaying measurements from interchangeable remote force and torque sensors. It functions as the readout unit for Omega Series RLC (load cells) and RTQ (torque sensors), which are sold separately. The system supports handheld testing or mounting to fixtures and test stands for more sophisticated requirements.
Documented sensor families compatible with this indicator include:
- RLC01 Series: Tension/Compression Load Cells (±50 lbs to ±10,000 lbs).
- RLC02 Series: Compression Load Cells (0 to 100 lbs to 0 to 10,000 lbs).
- RLC03 Series: Low Capacity Tension/Compression Load Cells (±0.25 lbs to ±100 lbs).
- RLC04 Series: Miniature Tension/Compression Load Cells (±0.25 lbs to ±100 lbs).
- RTQ50 Series: Reaction Torque Sensors (±10 oz-in to ±100 lb-in).
Operating Conditions & Performance
The DFG-RS5 indicator operates within an ambient temperature range of 4 to 38°C (40 to 100°F) and supports humidity up to 96% RH non-condensing. The unit features a backlit graphic LCD with a sampling rate of 7000 Hz.
Performance specifications for the indicator itself are:
- Accuracy: ±0.1% of full scale + sensor (indicator only).
- Analog Output Accuracy: ±2% full scale accuracy on the ±1 Vdc analog output.
- Data Memory: On-board storage for up to 1000 readings.
- Calibration: Calibration data is stored in the sensor, enabling true interchangeability. All RLC or RTQ sensors include a NIST traceable calibration certificate.
The indicator weighs 0.3 kg (0.7 lb) and measures 149.4 H x 64.3 W x 33.6 mm D (5.88 x 2.53 x 1.32").
Configuration Options
The series supports multiple output configurations and connectivity options to integrate with data collection systems or external control logic.
- Digital Outputs: USB for data collection; RS232 (configurable to 115,200 baud); Mitutoyo (Digimatic) Serial BCD interface.
- Analog Output: ±1 Vdc with ±2% full scale accuracy.
- Set Points & General Purpose I/O: Three open drain outputs and one input for set point indicators or general purpose signaling. Set points utilize three open drain lines.
- Power Supply: 8.4V NiMH rechargeable battery (included) or AC adapter with universal voltage support (US, EU, UK prongs available).
- Accessories & Options: Includes carrying case, USB cable, resource CD (USB driver and user's guide), and certificate of conformance. The DFG-RSA programmable adaptor is available for calibrating bridge type force or torque sensors.
Key Product Differences
The primary variation within the family involves sensor selection, as the indicator model number remains constant (DFG-RS5) while paired with specific remote sensors. The DFG-RSA is a separate user-configurable remote sensor adaptor sold separately.
- RLC01 Series: Tension/Compression load cells ranging from ±50 lbs to ±10,000 lbs; accuracy listed as ±0.15% full scale in the ordering table.
- RLC02 Series: Compression-only load cells ranging from 0 to 100 lbs to 0 to 10,000 lbs; accuracy listed as ±0.5% full scale.
- RLC03 Series: Low capacity tension/compression sensors (±0.25 lbs to ±100 lbs); accuracy listed as ±0.15% full scale.
- RLC04 Series: Miniature tension/compression sensors (±0.25 lbs to ±100 lbs); accuracy listed as ±0.2% full scale.
- RTQ50 Series: Reaction torque sensors ranging from ±10 oz-in to ±100 lb-in; accuracy listed as ±0.35% full scale.
