3. general 3. GENERAL Congratulations on your purchase of this new and innovative ALMEMO ® simu- lator. It will allow you to perform a wide range of simulation runs on sensors and transmitters and put data acquisition and automation systems into service quickly and easily.
Waste disposal 3.3 Waste disposal This symbol means that the product is subject to European Union regulations on segregated waste disposal. This applies both to the product itself and to any accessories marked with the same symbol. Disposal of any such item as unsorted do- mestic waste is strictly forbidden.
5. The simulator functions 5. THE SIMULATOR FUNCTIONS Simulator ALMEMO ® KA7531 is a universal generator of sensor and transmit- ter variables. For Pt100 sensors it incorporates 5 precision resistors in 4-con- ductor circuitry. Voltage signals from 7 different thermocouple types with set- table cold junction temperature are calculated and output via a 16-bit D/A con- verter.
Power supply 7. POWER SUPPLY Power can be supplied to the simulator in any of the following ways : 3 AA alkaline batteries, in the device Mains adapter 12 V, 0.2 A, with ALMEMO ® connector ZA1312NA1 External DC voltage, 10 to 30 V via ALMEMO ®...
