Four-channel weighing indicator General Measure GMT-X4

GMT-X4 is a DIN rail-mounted weighing transmitter with four-channel. When one of the four channels' load cells is damaged, GMT-X4 will automatically identify and give an alarm message on the screen. It has a compact design, stable performance, and easy operation, which can be used for various weighing applications, such as weight checking, loss-in-weight, liquid filling, batching, vessel and silo weighing, etc.

There are two modes: one is with four individual AD working separately; the other one is a four-channel combination mode, that is, a weighing indicator with an intelligent junction box built in can easily monitor the defaulted load cell. The main display of the combination mode shows the total weight up to 6 digits. It also has four-channel weights display and the simultaneous millivolt display.
