These units provide a current or voltage output, the magnitude of which is controlled either by:
• a front panel mounted control (adjustable type).
• a remote set-point with the set-point potentiometer and dial supplied loose for remote mounting e.g. in a control panel or enclosure door or
• a fixed output which is internally set to the level required.

Trip
Amplifiers

This range of instruments provides voltage free contacts which change state when the input signal passes an adjustable reference point. Single and dual point versions are available. A single pole change-over relay contact is provided for each set point. The dual version offers interlocked channel operation. Basic models provide low-cost options with set-point adjustment by multi-turn trim controls accessed through the front panel.

Analogue Summator

This unit will sum together - or subtract - up to three voltage or current input signals. The output signal may be current or voltage and will be proportional to the sum or difference of the input signals. This unit will perform an averaging function with equal input ranges. See 112-6A for number of inputs greater than three.

Root Extractor
Square root
3/2 Law
5/2 Law

Provides a voltage or current signal output which is proportional to one of the following functions:
• Square root of the input signal (e.g. for DP transmitter)
• 3/2 law (e.g. for flowrate measurements from flume or weir)
• 5/2 law (e.g. for flowrate measurements form 'V' Notch weir)
Input and output signals may be current or voltage and the unit will convert to signals of different ranges and types. The unit provides an optional transducer excitation supply.
