Description
The model B6578 junction box is a reliable and precise solution for signal processing in weighing systems.
The instrument enables the parallel connection of up to four load cells or force transducers. The instrument is used to efficiently sum their very small voltage signals (mV/V) and to pass them on as a common analogue output signal (mV/V), e. g. to a model FE430 weighing indicator, a radio module or a control system.
The integrated trimming function allows fine adjustment of individual load cells or force transducers, creating a system with optimum measuring results.
Special features
- For connection of up to four load cells or force transducers
- Precise signal summation (mV/V)
- Individual sensor tuning
- Robust stainless steel case (IP64)
- High compatibility and easy integration
