 OHAUS Corporation is a leading manufacturer of balances for industrial, laboratory and education markets worldwide. Valor 1000 Series is ideal for food service, lab and industrial applications. What really separates this line of compact digital scales from similar brands is its ability to perform checkweighing and accumulation.
Valor 1000 Series allows users to compare the weight of a sample against a reference weight using the included checkweighing software. This allows for quick portioning and checking of multiple sample weights against a target, as well as quickly preparing multiple samples of the same size. The Series is constructed with an ergonomic and user-friendly design, and is an economical choice for professional weighing needs.
Ohaus Valor 1000 can operate on either AC Power, with the included AC adapter, or on the internal rechargeable battery. The scale automatically switches to battery operation if power fails while the digital scale is on. During charging, the battery charge indicator remains lit. Valor 1000 can be operated during charging. The battery is protected against over-charging and the digital scale can remain connected to the AC power line.
The Valor 1000 Scales are simple yet rugged, and are ideal for general weighing and simple counting applications. The scale’s software offers check weighing and accumulation of weights, as well as multiple units of measure (pounds, ounces, kilograms and grams). The Valor 1000 also features a large stainless steel pan that is removable for easy cleaning, and a bright, easy-to-read backlit LCD screen. The new scales come standard with a long-lasting internal rechargeable lead acid battery, which has up to 100 hours of life on a single charge for ultimate portability and convenience.

Strain Gauge Load Cell
Load Cells are devices that convert force into a signal. The Valor 1000 has a Strain Gauge Load Cell, which is made from a metal beam with holes drilled in it. Strain gauges are affixed to the beam at the top and bottom to measure changes in the beam due to deflection. The gauges are bonded very securely to the metal, where they sense very small deflections in the metal caused by the load being applied to the cell. Because the signal levels are very small, the circuit is protected from all outside influences such as moisture, physical damage, or electrical interference.
At zero load, all strain gauges are unstressed. Weight placed on the Platform bends the beam, causing two gauges to stretch and two to compress in opposition, changing the electrical resistance of the circuit.
The difference in the output signal before and after the mass was placed on the platform is taken, interpreted and displayed.
A Load Cell is a force sensor, which receives a voltage (excitation) from a regulated power source in the Indicator, and sends back a low-voltage milli-volt (mV) relative to the force applied. The Load Cell signal is read by the Indicator, which converts it to a numeric value and shows it visually. This output value increases as weight is loaded to the Load Cell. |
