The DIS878 provides a display, optional isolated DC output voltage or current proportional to the output of a strain gauge bridge, and  optional alarm setpoints. All Wilkerson products are designed with RFI filters and lightning protection to reduce susceptability to electrical noise and damage by lightning. The unit has a well regulated excitation voltage for the strain gauge and a high quality differential preamplifier to condition the low level output from the bridge. The digital display utilizes an auto-zero dual-slope integrating A/D converter for accuracy and stability.

All controls are accessible by removing a gasketed front access panel. The display controls are wide ranging so that they can be calibrated to display engineering units. Decimal point selection is made with a switch, also accessible from the front. A complete set of engineering unit labels is sent with each DIS. Once the display has been adjusted to read the correct engineering units, the alarm setpoints can be adjusted without test equipment and without disturbing the output voltage or current.

Either setpoint may be displayed by use of the SP CAL switch. Each setpoint has a red LED to indicate alarm status. The alarms have adjustable deadbands. Terminations are made to a screw terminal connector on the rear of the case.
