Introduction 

  The BSC4 Amplifier takes up to 4 Independent Inputs and turns those signals into an 

analog or digital output. 

  ±10V and 4-20mA (BSC4A) or USB outputs (BSC4D) 

  4 independent channels 

  For use with model 3AXX series 3-axis load cells or multiple load cells 

  Can be used with up to any 4 standard load cells (with mV/V output) 

  Inputs for Strain gage / 0

–10 V / PT1000 

  Measurement ranges 2 mV/V / 10 mV/V 

  8 digital inputs / outputs 

  Data rate 0 Hz

–500 Hz 

 

Description 

This 4-channel measuring amplifier for sensors with strain gauges is equipped with a USB interface. 
The voltage is supplied via the USB port at the back of the measuring amplifier. The measuring 
amplifier can be delivered with an SUB-D37 connection or with 4x M12 ports. The measuring 
amplifier has eight digital inputs and outputs. 

On the backside SubD25 socket, strain gauge full-bridges and half-bridges 120 Ohm up to 1 kOhm as 
well as PT1000 temperature sensors and 1000 Ohm single grid strain gages or voltages 0-5V can be 
connected.
