Chapter 1 Introduction To The Universal Process Amplifier System The Mantracourt Electronics Universal Process Amplifier System is based upon a concept of modular construction. By adopting such a concept, it is possible to offer a great deal of flexibility of construction, to meet the wide and varying needs of system building.

Chapter 3 Power Supplies There are three types of power supply available within the UAB system. The rack versions RUA1 and RUA2 are served by a common power supply, which offers power to the 12 channels in the case of the RUA1 and 8 channels for the RUA2.
The LS3 power supply is a 'plug in' module supplying 9 to 30 Volts DC. Similar in characteristics to the LS1 with regard to power and current ratings. The module is not reverse polarity protected and will require similar protection at installation. Mantracourt Electronics Limited UAB User Manual...
WARNING: ENSURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE MAKING CONNECTION TO THE UAB 1. Connect the thermocouple to the UAB terminal as shown in Figure 4.6 Note: If the thermocouple has a floating input, connect terminal 1 to ground. 2.

Figure 4.6 Thermocouple Connectors The UAPT Connecting the Resistance Thermometer Module Connect the resistance thermometer to the UAB terminals as shown in Figure 4.8 using the terminals appropriate to 2, 3 and 4 wire connections. Note: It is recommended that 4 core-screened cable be used for this connection with terminal 6 used for screen and ground.
Note: It is important that the UAFLC is powered up with the strain gauge connected to the input as the A/D performs an Autocal of its own on power up.
