You may be wondering whether a wireless load cell is right for you. There are a lot of different factors to consider when choosing the correct load cell. First off, how do you want to get your measurement data? If you want to read the measurement near the load cell, then a display will often work just fine. If you are tying your load cell into a PLC or data acquisition device, then you will need to add options accordingly. If you are wanting a remote display then wireless load cells are the right choice for you.
So, what devices can connect to a wireless load cell? Depending on the type of communication that your wireless load cell offers, there will be different options. A load cell that outputs data via Bluetooth can connect to many different Bluetooth capable devices. These include smartphones, laptops, tablets, computers, and some microcontrollers. This way you can access your data however you want to.
Depending on the type of multi-point system you purchase, there will be several different options. For example, the Ron StageMaster 6000G5 is capable of monitoring up to 200 load cells on a single computer. Additionally, you can set up an unlimited number of computers that can each monitor 200 load cells giving you virtually infinite capability.

As the use of wireless technology continues to grow across a wide variety of sectors and fields, more and more companies are finding new and innovative ways to incorporate it into a variety of products.
When it comes to lifting during weighing and other force measurement applications, having a load cell with wireless capabilities can be a huge advantage. Wireless load cells offer a significant increase in convenience, flexibility, ease of use, and safety.
Wireless load cells make use of radio frequency (R.F.) technology to transfer data between the system’s load cell and the receiver or display.
Having a wireless load cell makes set-up and installation easier and quicker, saving valuable time and money. And because a wireless load cell’s signal is broadcast around the job site, both the operator and the rest of the crew have easy access to the data and measurements—a big convenience and a significant safety factor when monitoring loads for a prolonged period of time.
Wired load cells also increase safety by allowing operators to remain at a safe distance from the lifted load. And, with a range of up to 450 feet/150 meters, Eilon wireless load cells make it easy to get the critical reading you need.
Wireless load cells also give operators more mobility. The system can be moved around the job site easily, without the hassle of unplugging and replugging it in. This makes them more convenient when moving between jobs or transporting them around the job site.
Few load cell manufacturers can compare to Eilon Engineering's 45+ years of experience in the development of high-quality, long-lasting, and extremely accurate load cells. Eilon Engineering is proud to be among the premier manufacturers of wireless load cells and a long-time partner of companies like NASA, Boeing, and countless others.
Our wealth of industry experience, combined with cutting-edge load cell technology has solidified Eilon Engineering as a brand you can trust for reliable and dependable measurement systems.

Each of our products offers different benefits that can be used as needed to provide the perfect measurement system for your company. Each wireless load cell can be seamlessly tied together to create a multi-point load monitoring system that can easily be connected to your phone, a tablet, or a computer. Eilon Engineering’s wireless load cell solutions allow you to worry less about how you are going to prevent dangerous overloads, and focus on what your company does best.
Wireless Load Cells Technology
There are a lot of different wireless communication protocols out there. These include Bluetooth, Radio Frequency, Infrared, or cellular. There are various pros and cons to each of these methods in terms of complexity, cost, range, and signal integrity. Eilon Engineering offers Bluetooth communications with many of its wireless load cells. These load cells have a wireless transmitter that outputs measurement data via Bluetooth. The load cells communicate via RF with the receiver and then the receiver communicates via BT with the devices. Right?
This allows you to simply read measurement data from a wide variety of devices, including your phone. One of the biggest downsides to Bluetooth communications is that they often have limited range. If you have ever connected a Bluetooth speaker or headphones to your phone, you will have noticed that you can’t let the connected devices get too far apart or they will stop working. It is the same with Bluetooth load cells. Fortunately, Eilon Engineering offers a solution for this as well.
When distance is a main concern, another wireless communication protocol is needed. The wireless load cell transmitter will output the measurement data via a proprietary Radio Frequency protocol. This data can then be picked up by a receiver and retransmitted over Bluetooth to nearby devices. Radio frequency is capable of reaching extremely far distances (multiple miles/km). This way you can pick up measurement data from devices that are out of the capable range of Bluetooth.
Multi-point Systems
There are many instances where you may want to monitor multiple load cells at the same time from a single location. One common application of this is stage rigging. You may need to monitor not just the amount of weight that is on the stage rigging but also ensure that the weight is evenly distributed throughout. This is to make sure that no support point on the rigging itself has been overloaded by the speakers, lights, and whatever else may be suspended. To do this requires that the load be measured in many different locations.
Eilon Engineering makes the selection and customization of multi-point load cell systems incredibly easy. In minutes you can configure a station to monitor all of the nearby wireless load cells. This does not require extensive knowledge on your part, nor does it require programming expertise. Eilon Engineering has worked hard to make sure that the trouble of configuring a complicated distributed system is not something that you ever have to worry about when using their products. The system is easy to use and intuitive.
