    The WT127 is a 4-wire transmitter designed to transmit signals from full bridge strain gauges such as load cells. It provides an adjustable excitation voltage and pre-amplifier in one unit to drive up to 4 load cells in parallel at 10Vdc. The input and output ranges are user selectable via coding plugs. Final calibration is adjusted using front trimmers for offset and span. Isolation and various power supply options are available. It is enclosed in an ABS housing and has IP40 protection.

    Strain Gauge Transmitter (v7)

    WT127

    DESCRIPTION
    The WT127 is a 4-wire transmitter designed for inputs from any type of
    full bridge strain gauge such as loadcells or piezoresistive devices
    (pressure sensor). This transmitter combines an accurate excitation
    power supply and a millivolt pre-amplifier in one unit. Excitation voltage
    is front adjustable and will drive up to 4 loadcells (350) in parallel at
    10Vdc. The most common input mV-ranges are user selectable on
    the amplifier card by coding plugs. Final calibration is trimmed using
    the front accessible "OFFS" and SPAN 15-turn trim adjustments. The
    "OFFS" adjustment is used for fine tare trim and is non-interacting with
    the span adjustment if coarse tare is set correctly (tare = zero setting).
    The "OFFS" potentiometer can be wired out of the housing on request
    to provide remote tare adjustment. Front adjustments cover typically
    20% of range. Output signal is indicated by the green LED on front,
    which gives a clear indication of module function. Three user
    selectable response times including a fast 5mS are available.
    Response times slower than 500mS are optional. Input to output
    isolation is also available. RF and power transient protection is standard as it is with all APCS modules.
    Various power supply choices are available varying from 240Vac down to 8Vdc, all provide power isolation.

    Calibration Procedure
    For units input codes 08 and 09 (e.g. WT127-108120) use drawing CP12762 (superseded by 10/11).
    For units input codes 10, 11, 12 and 13 (e.g. WT127-110120) use drawing CP12761.

    Selection Guide Examples


    Range=

    Actual_Load
    Sensitivity Excitation
    Capacity

    1. Load cell of 1000 kg capacity, with 2mV/V sensitivity.


    Set up using 10Vdc excitation. Then if the actual
    load is 500 kg max., then
    500 kg
    Range=
    2 mV/V 10 V =10 mV .
    1000 kg
    2. If 1000 kg load cell has a 200 kg tare (tare = empty
    tank for example), with a 800 kg live load, then tare
    off the 200 kg and
    800 kg
    Range=
    2 mV/V 10=16 mV .
    1000 kg
    Note: Standard tare adjustment is 100% of range. eg. for 500
    kg tare with 1000 kg load cell tare = 500 kg = range.
