The Model 5014 is a self-contained, easy-to-use indicator for dynamometer applications. All the features of more expensive systems are included in one indicator. The indicator features a full 5½ digit LED display (-199999 to 199999). Inputs to the instrument include load cell input and proximity sensor or encoder input. Included is excitation for load cells and a 18 - 24V DC supply for the proximity switch or encoder. The stable bridge excitation output voltage includes sense feedback to compensate for line variations. The precision differential instrumentation op amp front end ensures high stability and accuracy for millivolt input from the load cells in the dynamometer system.
Options include analog output for external power indication or control, up to four alarms, RS 232 / RS 485 communications and many others.
The calibration method is simple and easy. Pre-calibrated ranges can be allocated zero and full scale values and these can be adjusted on site to allow for back-balance (deadweight) offset and single point span calibration (test weight trim). The instrument meets European Community EMC directive 89/336/EEC and Low Voltage directive 73/23/EEC.
