DESCRIPTION
from a variety of bridge-type transducers, such as load cells, pressure
transducers, torque transducers, etc. User selectable low (20 mV) and high (200
mV) input ranges and a stable, bridge excitation voltage, that is user selectable
5 V or 10 V at 60 mA, is provided. A two Hz, two pole, low pass filter coupled
with programmable digital filtering can be tuned to match the characteristics of
most processes. A digital tare (re-zero) operation can be performed at a touch of
a button along with recall of process peak and valley (max/min) values. State-
of-the-art digital circuitry virtually eliminates errors due to drift. A full
complement of option packages are available to fulfill many process
applications.
greatly simplifies initial set-up. A full 6-digit display accommodates virtually
any process-engineering unit. English Style display prompts aid the operator
through set-up and operation. A front panel lock-out menu protects set-up data
and operation modes from unauthorized personnel. Programmable remote input
E1-CON and/or E2-CON, can be utilized to control a variety of totalizing, alarm
control, display hold and tare operations. All set-up data is stored in E
which will hold data for a minimum of 10 years without power.
which can be used to totalize or integrate signals up to a maximum display value
of 999,999. It features independent scaling and a low signal cut-out to suit a
variety of signal integration applications. Additionally, nine slopes and offsets
can easily be programmed to linearize transducers with non-linear outputs, such
as square law devices. All readings are retained at power-down.

operators of any malfunction. Extensive testing of noise interference
mechanisms and full burn-in makes the indicator extremely reliable in industrial
environments. The die-cast front bezel meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for
washdown applications. Plug-in style terminal blocks simplify installation
wiring and change-outs.
