DC-Bridge Amplifier type 660

d.c. voltage bridge amplifier for electrical measurement of mechanical variables such as force, pressure, displacement using suitable transducers

Description

Bridge supply voltage  0 -15 V, selectable in 1 V steps through a selector switch on the circuit board  
Gain switch x 1  : 1 – 1000
switch x 10 : 10 – 10 000 through 10-turn trimmers
  
Bridge balance through 10-turn trimmer coarse adjustment and 10-turn potentiometer fine djustment 
Output-low-pass filter 12 positions 0.01 Hz – 3 kHz selected by rotary switch 
Signal input 6-pin socket with screw lock (Binder, Amphenol Tuchel) 
Signal output on front panel through BNC socket ±10 V (filtered signal voltage)
through bus connector to PLUGSYS measuring system through link plugs ±10 V filtered signal voltage and unfiltered signal voltage)
 
Analog indication through LED bargraph + 20 LEDs/–9 LEDs for visual check on the measurement. The sensitivity can be selected between 500 mV/LED and 50 mV/LED. 
Electrical calibration 1 CAL 1 adjustable through 10-turn trimmer, negative and positive calibration voltage. The calibration signal is superimposed on the measurement signal by pressing the CAL 1 key. 
Electrical calibration 2 CAL 2 selected internally through link plugs
a) positive calibration voltage
b) negative calibration voltage
c) external calibration voltage from PLUGSYS measuring system.
The amplitude of the calibration voltage is adjustable with a 10-turn trimmer. The calibration signal is applied on pressing the CAL 2 key. During this time the measuring signal is switched off.
 
Suppression SUP adjustable with 10-turn trimmer, negative and positive values. The suppression can be switched on and off with a switch. 
Signal output MUX after pressing the MUX (MULTIPLEX) key the filtered signal output of the amplifier is switched to the input of an optional digital voltage module for accurate zero adjustment and calibration setting. The function is self-maintained; the module previously selected is switched off. 
Power supply + 5 V, 900 mA with 350 Ohm transducer connected to it, through connector from the PLUGSYS bus system 
Dimensions module for 19 inch rack, width 8 E (40.5 mm), height 3 U (128.7 mm), depth Europe size (220 mm) 
Connector DIN 41612, 96-pin VG 
Weight 330 g

Transducer Amplifier Module type

The Transducer Amplifier Module is an universal amplifier with d.c. voltage bridge supply. It is used for the measurement of mechanical variables like pressure, force, displacement etc.. using transducers based on resistive wheatstone bridge. Transducers with a built-in preamplifier which have a high level DC output voltage can also be connected. It exists in two versions, TAM-A with LED bargraph display for observing the signal dynamics, or TAM-D with digital display for displaying the mean value.
