Introduction
 The BSC4 Amplifier takes up to 4 Independent Inputs and turns those signals into an
analog or digital output.
 ±10V and 4-20mA (BSC4A) or USB outputs (BSC4D)
 4 independent channels
 For use with model 3AXX series 3-axis load cells or multiple load cells
 Can be used with up to any 4 standard load cells (with mV/V output)
 Inputs for Strain gage / 0–10 V / PT1000
 Measurement ranges 2 mV/V / 10 mV/V
 8 digital inputs / outputs
 Data rate 0 Hz–500 Hz
Description
This 4-channel measuring amplifier for sensors with strain gauges is equipped with a USB interface.
The voltage is supplied via the USB port at the back of the measuring amplifier. The measuring
amplifier can be delivered with an SUB-D37 connection or with 4x M12 ports. The measuring
amplifier has eight digital inputs and outputs.
On the backside SubD25 socket, strain gauge full-bridges and half-bridges 120 Ohm up to 1 kOhm as
well as PT1000 temperature sensors and 1000 Ohm single grid strain gages or voltages 0-5V can be
connected.
