1. Features
The amplifier type TX 1 is an accurate and economic load cell transmitter, easy to
integrate into process control systems. By its “digital heart” – modern microcontroller
technology – type TX 1 allows a comfortable calibration and set up with a combination of
LED’s and push buttons. Option equipped TX 1 can be programmed and calibrated via PC
software xFace.
The analogue signal output is programmable to 0 – 10 V or 4 – 20 mA. An opto-isolated
interface option offers 2 setpoints, 1 error output, 1 input for zeroing by external command
and one RS232C serial data output for setup & calibration.
TX 1 has important advantages listed below:
• It is a rail mounted device which can be easily installed in control panels. Its
physical dimensions allow reasonable space advantage in the panel.
• Very easy and user friendly digital adjustment and programming via keys located on
the front panel.
• In case of Error, user is warned by Error LED on front panel and optional Error
output signal is activated. Analogue output goes out of the operating range.
• Via optional zeroing input, TX 1 can be zeroed by PLC or any other external device.
• eCal calibration and setup without weights via optional serial port and PC software.
