Remote Displays

Remote displays place a clear weight reading where operators can see it when the main indicator or control panel is out of view. Choose from compact indoor units, large-digit displays and protected models for outdoor or hazardous-area installations.

Remote displays for weighing and process control

A remote display repeats the reading from a compatible weight indicator or transmitter in a more convenient position. It can give production staff, drivers and process operators a clear view without requiring them to stand beside the main instrument.

The right model depends on how far away the reading must be seen, the available communication interface and the conditions around the installation. The range includes compact wall-mounted displays, larger characters for viewing across loading bays or factory floors, IP-rated enclosures and an ATEX model for suitable hazardous areas.

Common uses include tank and silo weighing, batching, vehicle loading and production monitoring. Some models provide more than a repeated weight value, including guided batching information or status indication, so compatibility and required functions should be confirmed before ordering.

GNW can help match a display to compatible Laumas weighing equipment and advise on digit size, enclosure protection and connection requirements.

Choosing a remote weight display

Start with the position from which the reading will be viewed. A compact display may be sufficient beside a production line, while a loading bay or weighbridge usually needs larger characters that remain easy to read from further away.

Next, confirm how the display will receive data from the main instrument. Connections vary by model, so the required serial interface and compatibility with the existing indicator or transmitter should be checked before ordering.

The enclosure must also suit its surroundings. An indoor control area has different requirements from an exposed loading point, washdown area or hazardous location. Select the IP rating and construction for the actual installation rather than relying on digit size alone.

Finally, decide what operators need to see. Some installations only require a repeated weight value, whereas batching work may benefit from product, formula or status information.

Clear weight readings at a distance

Place the weight reading where operators, drivers or production staff can see it without returning to the main instrument.

Compatible communication options

Check the display against the output and communication interface provided by the weight indicator or transmitter.

Options for demanding locations

IP-rated and hazardous-area models are available where a standard indoor enclosure would not be suitable.

Where remote displays are used

Remote weight displays are useful wherever the primary instrument cannot be seen easily from the operator's normal working position.

Tank and silo weighing systems

View tank, hopper or silo weights from the floor, filling point or another practical position.

Weighbridges and loading areas

Give drivers and loading staff a clear reading without requiring direct sight of the main indicator.

Batching and process systems

Provide visible feedback while ingredients or materials are filled, dosed or batched.

How to choose a remote display

Consider the viewing position, connection, enclosure and information operators need before comparing models.

Match digit size to the viewing distance

Choose characters that remain comfortably readable from the operator's normal position, not just from beside the display.

Confirm communication compatibility

Check the required interface and protocol against the weight indicator, transmitter or controller already in use.

Select the right enclosure

Take account of dust, moisture, cleaning, outdoor exposure and any hazardous-area classification.

Plan the mounting position

Check wall space, sight lines, glare and cable routing so the finished display is easy to read and maintain.

Remote display FAQs

Answers to common questions about selecting and installing a remote display for a weighing system.

What is a remote display?

A remote display repeats weighing information from a compatible indicator or transmitter in a second, more visible location.

What are remote displays used for?

They are often fitted at tanks, silos, batching stations, production lines, loading areas and weighbridges where the main instrument is difficult to see.

How do remote displays connect to weighing systems?

Connection depends on the model and host instrument. Common arrangements use a serial interface, but the communication protocol must also be compatible.

Are remote displays suitable for outdoor use?

Some models are designed for exposed locations, but suitability depends on their IP rating, enclosure and the installation conditions. Check the individual product specification before selecting a display.
