Transducer Display and Signal
Conditioning Unit
Model SC1000/SC2000
DESCRIPTION
The SC series models are self-calibrating microprocessor-
based transducer signal conditioners when used with sig mod
equipped transducers. Indicators are available with several dif-
ferent types of input channels and output channels. When used
with unamplified strain gage transducers that have the signature
calibration module installed, these instruments will completely
self calibrate zero, span, decimal point, and engineering units
automatically.
Input channels are available for a variety of transducers. Each
input channel includes an excitation power supply and either an
isolated voltage or isolated current analog output.
