The SM-200 handheld reader 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 has a connector cable which connects directly to the SM-200. The handheld reader then shows the value of the connected sensor on the LCD display. If you want to use the SM-200 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 on the other hand is connected to the SM-200 with a connector. When using the handheld reader, the user can monitor the residual bolt load directly on the reader. If you connect the SM-200 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”. The cables and software are available separately.
