MODEL 632 STRAIN GAGE AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

Features

  • 16 channels per rack
  • Auto-balance
  • Selectable bridge completion
  • Adjustable bridge excitation

Description

Sixteen channels of the Model 632 strain gage amplifiers are mounted in a 19" wide x 7" high x 20" deep rack adaptor. An unregulated DC supply is internally mounted at the rear of the rack to energize all 16 channels. Each channel has its own on-board regulators to provide the voltage required for the logic circuits, op-amps, and bridge excitation. In this manner, a load fault to any module will not affect the remaining units.

The Model 632 provides all of the operating features normally provided in this type of instrument. In addition it offers as a standard feature a switch selectable auto-balance circuit.
