The MM1500 monitors the DC input signal from a strain gauge bridge and trips a dpdt, 5 A relay when the input exceeds the desired level. Normal operation has the relay energized for the non-alarm condition and deenergized for an alarm condition. This provides a fail-safe alarm condition for loss of power to the module. The alarm has a set of red/green LEDs to indicate alarm status.
A deadband adjustment allows a deadband of 0.5% to 100% of span to be set into the module. The deadband is symmetrical about the setpoint.
With the latching option, the alarm has no deadband control. Once the limit has been reached, the alarm latches and power to the module must be momentarily interrupted to reset the alarm.
All Wilkerson products are designed with RFI filter and lightning protection to reduce susceptibility to electrical noise and damage by lightning. They also provide a well regulated excitation voltage for the strain gauge and a high quality differential preamplifier to condition the low level output from the bridge.
