Texmate BX-B31 Quick Start Manual

General Features

• 31 segment AC/DC powered modular compact bargraph.
• 1/16 DIN (96 x 24mm ) case easily mounts in thin or thick
panels (up to 2").
• Red (std), green (optional) or amber (optional) colors.
• Vertical or horizontal formats.
• External transmitters or signal conditioners can be eliminated
by directly connecting the sensor to more than 33 I-Series
Plug-in Input Signal Conditioning Modules that include:
- AC Current
- AC Voltage
- DC Current
- DC Voltage
- Load Cell
- Pressure
• Pre-calibrated I-Series Input Signal Conditioning modules, that
have span or zero potentiometers, can be interchanged between
any I-Series compatible meter, without recalibration, because all
of the analog scaling and reference circuitry is self-contained with-
in the module.
• 24 V DC excitation is available to power external transmitters
and 5 or 10 V DC excitation is available for strain-gages, load
cells and resistance bridge type sensors.
• High voltage power supply (PS1) 85 - 265VAC / 95 - 370VDC
Low voltage power supply (PS2) 15 - 48VAC / 10 - 72VDC
• Optional single or dual setpoints with easy adjustment
from the front.
• Dual 5A Form "A" relays or one 5A Form "A" and one 10A
Form "C" relays.
• Easy configuration of relays as high or low setpoints.
• Proportional brightness mode for increased effective opti-
cal resolution.
