AI-1000-CV User Guide 

Overview

 

The AI-1000-CV Analog Load Cell Interface is used to capture low level 
mV/V signals from a resistive bridge type load cell and convert it into a high 
level 0-5 V DC voltage output and/or a 4-20 mA current output compatible 
with PLCs and DAQs. It can be used with any resistive load cell. It is similar 
to the AI-1000 product which only offers the voltage output. This interface 
offers BOTH voltage and current output options. 

Features 

§

 

Compatible with all resistive bridge type load cells with mV/V output 

§

 

Powered by 24V DC power supply (provided by user) 

§

 

Input power to load cell can be set (suggested value is 9V) 

§

 

Tunable for easy calibration of your load cell 

§

 

Grommets to protect inlet and outlet 

§

 

Lid with O-Ring to protect enclosure from the elements 

§

 

Two mounting tabs with through holes to fasten unit into your assembly 

§

 

One AI-1000-CV needed per load cell 

§

 

Load Cell must be calibrated with AI-1000-CV prior to use
