- Fully flexible - any input module can be combined with any output module
- Fully digital set-up and calibration using hand held plug-in display/keypad or comms
- Optional local or remote LCD display and keypad
- Simple one pass digital calibration for minimum set-up time on site
- Fully isolated 4-20mA and 0-10V analog outputs
- Setpoints and event handling using digital inputs and 2 x SPCO relays
- High accuracy and high stability over a wide temperature range
- RS232 or RS485 communications for setup, data transfer or label/ticket printing
- PCB (UAB shown in main photo) options include with case (D3) or without case (D2), DIN rail mounted (shown in photos on left)
The UAB universal signal amplifier / digitiser is a very flexible digital signal conditioning system, in an OEM modular PCB format, for use with a wide range of sensors and transducers, including volts, amps, temperature, frequency, speed, load, force, pressure, torque, LVDT, RVDT and many more.
The digital architecture offers very easy one-pass calibration and fast setup.
This digital signal conditioning amplifier offers options of local or remote LCD display, isolated analogue outputs, latching relays or digital outputs for control or alarm functions.
The RS232 or RS485 options provide for digital communications (including setup) and can support label or ticket printers.
