BoltSafe SM-300 handheld reader

The BoltSafe handheld reader SM-300 is a handheld instrument that reads and stores data from both the CMS (Continuous Monitoring System) and PMS (Periodic Monitoring System) BoltSafe load cells.

The CMS load sensor connects directly to the handheld reader using a connector cable. The handheld reader then shows the value of the connected sensor on the LCD display. If you want to use the handheld reader to read data from the PMS load cell, a probe is needed. This probe energizes the BoltSafe Sensor and reads all data through a non-contacting interface. The probe is connected to the handheld reader using a connector.

The handheld reader is used to monitor the residual bolt load directly on the reader. If you connect the handheld reader to a PC with a USB cable, you can send the measured bolt load data to a Windows PC afterwards. The acquired data can be analyzed by special software called “BS Report Generator”.
