Interface Technology Universal Isolated Signal Conditioners

VariTrans A 26000
The specialist for ±10 V and ±20 mA.
With calibrated range selection and broad-range power supply.

The Housing
At a width of just 12.5 mm, the mod-
ular housing with pluggable screw
terminals allows for simple and fast as-
sembly and pre-wiring of enclosures.
Housings with fixed screw terminals
are also available for extremely high
mechanical loads. The easy-to-open
housing allows for simple configura-
tion of the input and output ranges
and provides good protection against
contact and unintentional adjustment.

The Advantages
Analog transmission of the measure-
ment signal with transformer-based
isolation and the digitally controlled
range selection guarantee excellent
signal transmission:
– Gain error only 0.1 %
– Excellent pulse formation
– Extremely low residual ripple
