The effective gain factor is approximately 50000.
This applies to the following general relationship.
This results in a minimum input signal of 0.2 mV for the module amplifier.
6.3.2 Fine adjustment
The gain is adjusted finely with the corresponding control on the front panel.

6.3.3 Calculating the gain
When calculating the gain, always use U
O
= 10 V as the reference, even if the 5-V output is
required.
Example:
Given: Strain-gauge sensor 350 ohms
Rated characteristic value 1.5 mV/V
Sensor excitation voltage 5 V
Required output voltage U
O
from the amplifier 10V
Wanted: Total gain v
The amplifier input voltage UI generated by the sensor is determined as follows:
U
I
= Rated characteristic value x reference excitation voltage

results in a gain factor v = 1333 in this example. The fine adjustment covers 85 -111% of the
gain adjusted coarsely in stages 1 - 3. In this example, the theoretical gain factor therefore lies
between v = 1133 (85% of 1333) and v = 1480 (111% of 1333).
Calculated total gain: v = 1333 (Stage 1 x Stage 2 x Stage 3)
Set total gain: v = 1300 (100 x 6.5 x 2)
Fine adjustment range: v = 1105 ... 1443 (0.85 x 1300 to 1.11 x 1300)
