Model: DWC-400
Indicating Element
Application:
A general-purpose indicator to be interfaced with an approved compatible weighing element(s).
Identification:
The capacity by division statement and, where applicable, the CLC will appear on an adhesive label on the front of the indicator. The other required information appears on an adhesive label on the back the indicator (except for the panel mount version. The label requirements will be placed adjacent to the weight display on the housing that surrounds the indicator).
Sealing:
The DWC-400 indicator model versions; “upright, desk top & wall mount” utilize a wire security seal threaded thru any two of the drilled head screws that hold a metal access plate located on the bottom of the indicator and a third larger drilled head screw that blocks the hole to the calibration switch.
The panel mount version: also utilizes a wire security seal that passes through a drilled head screw the holds the metal casing that surrounds the internal parts of the indicator and a larger drilled head screw that blocks the calibration switch located in the lower right corner on the back of the indicator.
Test Conditions:
This certificate is issued based upon the following tests and upon information provided by the manufacturer. A CompuWeigh DWC-400 indicator was submitted for evaluation. The emphasis of the evaluation was on the device design, marking requirements, operation and compliance with influence factor requirements. Several performance tests were conducted with the indicator (stainless steel housing) interfaced with a weighing element, 3 load cell simulators (multiple weighing elements) and a printer. The indicator was tested over a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F). Additionally, tests were conducted using power supplies of 100 VAC / 130 VAC and 200 VAC to 250 VAC.
The results of the evaluation indicate the device complies with the applicable requirements of NIST Handbook 44.
