User manual | Summing Amplifier for Resistance Strain Gauges

Summing Amplifier
for Resistance Strain Gauges
in robust field case
for all weighing applications
Characteristics
•
4 inputs for resistance strain gauge
full-bridges
•
Addition of single measure values
•
1 output for connection to every
measuring amplifier with input for
resistance strain gauge bridges
•
Cascading of several
summing amplifiers is possible
•
No external power supply necessary*
*if the measuring amplifier´s sensor supply is powerful enough
For generating the desired summing signal from these single signals
that can be lead to a measuring amplifier, the 4-input summing
amplifier for resistance strain gauges can be used.
.
2 to 4 measuring bridges can be connected. The output delivers the
summing signal which behaves like a single resistance strain gauge
bridge and can be evaluated with every measuring amplifier with
resistance strain gauge-input like DLM-HD, ALM, ALM-HD etc.
When the internal bridge supply of the measuring amplifier is used,
you have to take into account the maximum load because the
current consumptions of every single bridge are added. If necessary,
an external power supply can be used. When the summing signal is
built by more than four sensors, the summing amplifiers can be
cascaded to an unlimited number.

Numerous measuring devices in weigh technics require the
evaluation of more than one measuring point (i.e. containers with
three or four feet, weighing plates etc.).

Installation, connections
1. Connect the 5-terminal block to the measuring amplifier.
The amplifier evaluates the summing signal.
2. The supply voltage is connected to the "supply"-terminals (2(-), 3(+))
when all provided sensors are supplied parallel. The measuring amplifier
must have a powerful sensor supply. Otherwise, an external power supply
unit has to be used.
3. The terminals "Signal" (4(-), 5(+)) are connected to the input
of the measuring amplifier. If a shielded cable is used, the shield can be
connected to the terminal "Ground symbol".
4. Two 10-terminal blocks are provided for the connection
of two resistance strain gauge sensors each.
5. The sensor supply wires are connected to the terminals "Supply".
6. The sensor output signals are connected to the terminals "Signal".
7. Existing shields can be connected to the terminal "Ground Symbol".
