USER GUIDE

SCC-A10 Voltage Attenuator 
Module

The SCC-A10 voltage attenuator module accepts up to two voltage sources 
of 100 V maximum amplitude and attenuates each voltage by a factor of 10. 
A differential instrumentation amplifier buffers each input signal. The 
SCC-A10 contains circuitry capable of protecting E Series DAQ devices 
for input signals up to 250 V

rms

.
