Signal Conditioning Amplifier
MODEL 2310B SIGNAL CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
The 2310B Conditioner/Amplifier Modules accept inputs from strain gages, load/pressure/dc displacement transducers, potentio-
meters, RTD's and nickel temperature sensors, without any internal modification.
Controls on the 2310B are arranged in sections, permitting easy setup. Clearly marked push-button and single-purpose switches
minimize the possibility of operator error during use. With the exception of the playback switch, all operational and monitor
controls are on the front panel. Switches for selecting remote sense and specific shunt calibration configurations are located on
the printed circuit board inside the unit.
Front Panel
• Calibration: Momentary two-position switches, ±A and ±B,
control shunt calibration levels; 4 point.
• LED Display: Set up indicator for amplifier balance, bridge
balance and for monitoring the output polarity.
• Filter Section: Push-button controls for activating
appropriate low- and high-pass active filters.
• Electronic Bridge Balance Section: Three-position
switch--OFF, ON, RESET--for electronic bridge balance;
auto ranging up to ±25 000µ
ε with nonvolatile zero
storage; yellow light indicates high-range operation or over
range condition.
• Vernier trim control is used to refine bridge balance when
desired.
• AC IN: Capacitive coupling in the amplifier; eliminates
static component of the signal.
• Bridge Excitation: ON-OFF switch for removing bridge
excitation from the strain gage or transducer for noise
documentation.
• Amplifier Balance: Adjusts amplifier offset.
• Excitation Level: Twelve-position switch; values arranged
for doubling power with each step, with one 0.2 to 7Vdc
continuously variable.
• Amplifier Gain Section: Continuously variable
potentiometer (1.00 to 11.00) plus push-button course gain
multipliers control amplifier gain; direct-reading.
• Battery Test: Momentary push button determines battery
level for bridge zero storage.
• Main Power: Turns unit on/off; LED pilot light.
• Pin Jacks: Monitoring of Excitation, Unamplified Input,
Amplified Output.
