3000
Series General
Description [Back
]
|
Designed
for the toughest real-world requirements, these transducer instruments provide
stable, high-level, linear analog output signals for use in servo control,
remote recording, or centralized data acquisition.
Each
3000 Series instrument comes in three basic forms. The
"form" of a particular instrument is indicated by the second digit
of its model number (e.g., a Model 3130 is a "Form 1"
instrument; a Model 3263 is a "Form 2" instrument; a
Model 3378 is a "Form 3" instrument).
The
third and forth digits of a 3000 Series instrument's model number
identify the "type" of signal source, as follows:
3000
Series options include

FORM
1:
Signal Conditioner

|
These
instruments can accommodate any of the conventional transducer
types listed above.
With
built-in regulated excitation, selectable low-pass active filtering, and
internal reference calibration standards, they produce the most accurate
drift-free analog outputs possible. Calibration
can be accomplished by front-panel push buttons, or, when used with a
centralized data acquisition system, by a common logic command line.
For
a typical "Form 1" application, see

FORM
2:
Signal Conditioner with Digital Indication
[Back
]
|
To
the basic signal conditioning capability of Form 1
instruments, "Form 2" 3000 units add three selectable
scales for vivid, rock-solid LED readout of all measured inputs.
As
shown in the figure below, the three data-display scales are ±5000 by
"1's," ±10000 by "2's," and ±20000 by
"5's." Selectable decimal-point locations along with optional
dummy zero give decade multiplier factors from 0.0001 to 10.
Sampling
rate of the digital display is three samples per second. All
conditioner/indicators are supplied with a large assortment of engineering unit
legends on a convenient 4" x 5.5" dry transfer sheet (shown below). For full
display specifications, see General Specifications.

a typical "Form 2" application, see

FORM
3:
Signal Conditioner with Digital Indication and HI-LO Limits
[Back
]
|
To
the basic signal conditioning capability of Form 1
instruments and the data display capability of Form
2 Instruments, each "Form 3" instrument adds two control
setpoints. These are independently adjustable over the full ± range,
via front-panel Coarse and Fine controls.
Each
setpoint may be designated as either a HIGH or a LOW limit value. Thus,
three limit modes are available. Units are normally shipped with
LOW/OK/HIGH mode activated, but you can easily rewire for either BOTH LIMITS
HIGH or BOTH LIMITS LOW. A front-panel "Push-to-Set" button for
each limit lets you display the respective setting in proper engineering units.
Individual
red front-panel LED's indicate HIGH or LOW LIMIT VIOLATION. Such
indication is normally nonlatching, but latching mode is also available. A
single green LED indicates NO VIOLATION ("OK").
Both
true and complement TTL-compatible logic outputs are available for each
limit condition (LOW, OK, HIGH)—see General Specifications.
These outputs are normally disabled as soon as the violation condition ceases to
occur, but latching mode is also available.
Optional
internal electromechanical or solid-state relays are available for all
"Form 3" instruments, to allow the switching of power for annunciation
and process control on the basis of existing limit conditions (see "R"
or "S" Option).

typical "Form 3" applications, see
