RCA

The RCA15 Rack Mount Amplifier / Digitiser is a very flexible 19" rack mount digital signal conditioner amplifier for single or multiple strain gauge bridge applications (load, force, pressure, torque), offering very easy one-pass calibration and fast setup. This versatile signal conditioning amplifier offers options of local LCD display, isolated analogue outputs, latching relays or digital outputs for control or alarm functions and in-flight compensation for filling applications. The RS232 or RS485 options provide for digital communications (including setup) and can support label or ticket printers. For a wall or surface mount version, see model LCA15 Weighing Amplifier / Digitiser Module, for a PCB module version, see model LCB Weighing Amplifier / Digitiser PCB and for a wireless telemetry version, see model TLC1 Radio Telemetry Strain Gauge or Load Cell.
