The APD4059 accepts an input from one to four strain gages, bridge type sensors, load cells, or pressure transducers. It filters, amplifies, and converts the resulting millivolt signal into the selected DC voltage or current output that is linearly related to the input.
The full 3 way (input, output, power) isolation makes this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection or noise pickup reduction. The adjustable excitation power supply generates a stable source of voltage to drive from one to four 350 Ω (or greater) devices. Sense lead circuitry is included to cancel the effects of leadwire resistance, if required.
Input, output, excitation and zero offset are field configurable, via external rotary and slide switches. Offsets up to ±100% of span can be used to cancel sensor offsets or non-zero deadweights (taring). Non-interactive zero and span simplifies calibration.
The APD4059 can be specified with varying degrees of filtering to tailor the response time to the application. Consult factory for assistance.
