- PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION
Using miniature DIP switches, a variety of standard inputs and outputs can be
selected and with the 'one button' calibration, accurate operation in any
configuration is assured. Having selected the required input and output ranges,
these can be adjusted to be anything within the selected range using the 'one
button' calibration.
For example, with a 0 to 100 mV input and ±10V
output selected, one can calibrate the device to
have say 0 to 60 mV input where 30 mV input gives
an output of 0 V, 60 mV an output of +6 V and for
0 mV input and output of - 6 V. Output inversion is
also easily accommodated.
The Zero and Span trimpots can be disabled or switched to a wider adjustment
range using the DIP switches. Filtering is also DIP switch selectable in four ranges
up to 60 seconds.
We can also make firmware changes if you have a special application that we have
not catered for.
