Rice Lake Ranger 5 Variable Range Simulator Load Cell Calibration Tester For Sale

TestWelcome To our Shop Rice Lake Ranger 5 Variable Range Simulator Load Cell Calibration TesterProduct Description The Rice Lake Ranger 5 Variable Range Simulator is a professional-grade load cell simulator designed for advanced troubleshooting, testing, and calibration of electronic weighing systems. Built for scale technicians, service professionals, and calibration laboratories, the Ranger 5 accurately simulates load cell outputs, allowing indicators and weighing electronics to be tested without connecting an actual scale platform.

Unlike basic simulators, the Ranger 5 combines a fixed-step rotary switch with a precision vernier adjustment system. The rotary switch provides nine calibrated output levels ranging from -0.5 mV/V to +4.5 mV/V in 0.5 mV/V increments, while the vernier control allows fine adjustments for more precise testing and calibration procedures.

The simulator features a smooth 10-turn vernier knob with a locking graduated dial and selectable Off, Fine, Medium, and Coarse ranges. This design allows technicians to perform detailed diagnostics, verify indicator performance, and accurately calibrate A/D converters for both offset and gain settings. The -0.5 mV/V setting is commonly used for offset calibration, while the +4.5 mV/V setting is used for gain calibration.

With a nominal impedance of 350 ohms, the Ranger 5 closely replicates the electrical characteristics of a standard load cell. Its high accuracy and nonlinearity of less than 0.02% provide dependable and repeatable test results for demanding industrial weighing applications.

The compact ABS plastic enclosure weighs less than one pound, making it ideal for both bench testing and field service work. Color-coded binding posts accept standard banana plugs or up to 14 AWG wire, enabling quick and convenient connections to indicators, transmitters, and control systems.

Whether calibrating truck scale indicators, floor scales, tank weighing systems, hopper scales, or industrial process weighing equipment, the Ranger 5 provides a reliable and accurate solution for advanced scale diagnostics and calibration.

  About us

  Prime Scales is a well-known brand of weighing equipment under Prime Systems Group, a leading manufacturer of data process equipment and industrial automation.

  Prime Scales is a licensed scale agent. We can issue official calibration certification.

  Prime Scales has 24/7 customer support with real in-house person helping our clients.

  Why choosing Prime Scales?

  We build very good quality scales. And our value is way beyond this.

  Why do we need a scale? Scale is a tool. People use it to get the weight information of themselves, their livestock, their pets, their shipments, their products etc. The weight data is what people really need and our scales deliver the true information to their users. We at Prime Scales make it easier and better for our clients to collect, store, calculate and share the weight data. For example the livestock scale listed here: will it be better if the scale records the animal's weight automatically into an Excel file? We have a desktop software called Prime Interface to do this job. We are developing another software called "Prime Station" to store the information in the cloud server to be shared securely with doctors anywhere in the world. The Prime Station software will be available in July, 2020. The good news is: both softwares are Free for our clients. We make the application softwares in order to make our scales easier to use.

  All our scales are scalable. If you purchase it now, it will be compatible with all the peripherals and softwares available now and in the future.

  Prime Scales - Weigh Better, Go Beyond.
