 Millivolts signals

MEASURING MILLIVOLT SIGNALS

The  instrument  can  be  configured  to  measure  millivolt 

signals from any source, with pre-configured ranges from 

0/5 mV up to 80 mV. See connections at ‘Table 14’. Bipolar 

ranges from ±5 mV up to ±80 mV can also be configured.

PREDEFINED CONFIGURATION CODES

See ‘Table 15’ for a list of predefined input-output configuration codes. 

To activate a code see section 13.1.

CUSTOMIZED SIGNAL RANGES

To  customize  the  input  and / or  output  signal  ranges,  access  the 

Advanced scaling

’ menu (see section 13.4).

MAXIMUM OVERSIGNAL AND PROTECTIONS

Maximum oversignal

’ is the maximum signal accepted by the instrument. 

Higher signal values may damage the instrument. Lower signal values 

are non destructive but may be out of accuracy specifications. 

OUTPUT SIGNAL

The output signal is configurable to 4/20 mA (active and passive) and 

0/10 Vdc.
