Description

The Model 635 strain gage amplifier provides the performance characteristics and controls derived from over 30 years of field experience.   Features include  low output noise, broadband response, auto bridge balance and many other conveniences, all combined in a competitively priced module.

Specifications

Bridge configuration: Quarter, quarter dynamic, half, and full bridges, switch selectable; can also be used as general purpose differential amplifier
Bridge completion: Switch selects either 120 ohm or 350 ohm internal precision completion resistors
Bridge excitation: Front panel adjustable, isolated 1.25 VDC to 15.0 VDC; front panel on/off switch; monitor jacks provided for voltmeter
Bridge balance:

Front panel pushbutton or remote control activation of bridge balance cycle; LED indicates unbalanceable condition

Battery backup retains autobalance setting while main power is off

Output limit: Front panel LED lights if output signal exceeds 1V RMS
Output noise: 2.5 microvolts RMS RTI max, DC to 32kHz at G=1000
Power: Model 843 power supply module provides unregulated ±24V to all modules in rack, plus unregulated isolated supply (one per module) for bridge excitation
Mechanical: 19″W x 7″H x 14″D, seven module rack adapter, Model 4007-137; one- and two-module desktop cases, Model 4009-107 and 4010-111MODEL 635 STRAIN GAGE AMPLIFIER RACK
