SGA/A and SGA/D Loadcell Amplifier

The SGA loadcell amplifier is designed for use with strain gauge loadcells. It provides industry standard current or voltage outputs for accurate interfacing of loadcells with control and monitoring systems.

It has a wide gain range with good zero offset capability. Switch set low pass filtering is provided allowing the best compromise between noise and speed to be found for an application. The unit has a stable loadcell supply that can power up to four 350 ohm loadcells connected in parallel.

The amplifier is very flexible allowing a wide range of configurations to be set by switches and terminal wiring. Providing accurate calibration equipment is available it is easy to change the configuration after installation making the SGA an ideal choice for applications that are not fully specified at the start of a project.

Calibration is straight forward using non-interactive zero and span trimmers. When it is purchased with a loadcell the amplifier will be calibrated for use with the loadcell.

110/230Vac mains or 18Vdc powered versions of the SGA are available. The mains powered version can be connected to 110/230Vac and 18Vdc simultaneously to provide protection against mains supply failure.

If the SGA is supplied with a loadcell it will normally be calibrated to read the loadcell output in the same force units as the loadcell calibration. A traceable system certificate will be supplied for the amplifier and loadcell combination.

CE – This instrumentation product complies with the requirements of the European EMC directive.
