WTS3 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION
WTS3 weight conditioner and transmitter has been developed to interface strain gage transducers
with industrial automation systems (such as PLC, computers etc..). The board supplies up to 4
load cell (350 ohm) amplifies the load cell signal and perform 2 different analog outputs: a 0 - 10 V
and a current output 0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA (Factory selected).
The simple calibration procedure allow a quick set up and installation of the system.
The dead load compensation and full scale calibration is carried out by rotary switch for medium
setting and by trim-pots for fine setting.
The zero calibration of the analog output does not affect the full scale output and vice versa.
Calibrating the voltage output in the range 0 - 10 V, the current output is automatically calibrated.
The choice of the desired current range is carried out by a switch selection (standard range 4-20
mA) and correctly calibrating the device.
WTS3 conditioner is powered with 24 Vdc +/- 10 %.
Two different mounting versions are available :
- DIN rail mounting in plastic box (model WTS3).
- Boxed card in IP65 aluminium case for outdoor mounting (model WTS3-B).
