TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Original Instructions
The unit can accommodate silicon-diode sensors (constant current supply).
The unit detects short-circuit inputs, open-circuit inputs, and inputs that are shorted to
ground.
The unit can store calibration files for sensors and can automatically set range-limits
from the calibration file.
The user does not need to set the zero or the span for calibrated sensors.
11.4 Heater outputs
The output is filtered with co-wound inductors and decoupling capacitors.
The output is protected against short-circuits.
The unit has a dead-man’s-handle timer that disables the heater outputs if the control
loop stalls.
