Michigan Scientific’s AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit is a complete system for controlling all Michigan Scientific Spinning Amplifiers. The PS-AC-0.8 powers the amplifiers, controls excitation to strain gage bridges, and commands Spinning Strain Gage Amplifiers to apply their internal shunt calibration resistor to the appropriate arm of the strain gage bridge.
Operation Operation with Strain Gage Amplifier The power switch on the PS-AC-0.8 unit activates the AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit and illuminates the LED. The bridge excitation switch, when used with the modular strain gage spinning amplifier, turns the excitation to the bridge on or off without turning off the amplifier. This is done by inverting the polarity of the + 15 V supply pins.
Specifications PARAMETER SPECIFICATIONS OUTPUT Voltage ± 15 V Maximum Voltage Error (No Load) ± 0.75 V Ripple and Noise Voltage (No Load) ± 60 mV 0.40 Ω Maximum Source Resistance Temperature Coefficient 0.30 %/°C Maximum Current 0.8 A < 50 µ s Maximum Transient Response INPUT Voltage...
Input Voltage Normal input voltage for the AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit is 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz. However, Michigan Scientic Corp. can modify the AC Remote Amplifier Control Unit to use 220 VAC or 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. If the unit has been modified, it will be indicated on the rear panel near the power cord.
