DCM 460 VOLTAGE BRIDGE AMPLIFIER
Description
The DCM 460 Bridgesensor is a self-contained, AC powered, signal conditioning module for bridge type
instrumentation. It contains a precision differential instrumentation amplifier with filtered output and a highly
regulated, low noise, adjustable output bridge excitation source. The unit is completely encapsulated for use in
rugged environments. The output filter cutoff frequency is 2000Hz and may be lowered by adding two external
capacitors.
