The Intertechnology SGCM-401 is a DIN rail mountable
signal conditioner for use with full-bridge strain gauge based transducers. It can be used to condition the signal from any transducer
with an output sensitivity between 0.2 to 15.0 mV/V. The SGCM-401 can be powered from an 8 to 48 VDC source and requires approximately
200 mA of current. The power supply inputs are internally isolated to eliminate any grounding or common mode problems thus eliminating
the need to have a separate power supply for your signal conditioning.
The SGCM-401 provides a very precise excitation voltage to the transducer at 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 VDC up to 100 mA.
Outputs from the SGCM-401 are selectable as 0 to 10, ±5, ±10, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA and are filtered at 1 kHz. Optional high frequency
response up to 50 kHz is available. The SGCM-401 also has an externally activated shunt calibration circuit as well as provisions
for bridge completion resistors.
