Description:

Converts the tiny signals from a strain gauge load cell into larger 4-20mA signals that are much less sensitive to electrical interference.

This line driver will happily send a load signal down a 30m catenery cable using just two wires.

It is also supplied with 30m of shielded cable.

  • Supplied with 30m of ultra flexible, rubber sheathed, shielded cable.
  • Two wire 4-20mA output, line powered.
  • Inline, IP67, polycarbonate case.
  • Adjustable gain.
  • Australian designed and manufactured.
  • Australian manufacturer extended hours support available.

How far can the Line Driver transmit a signal?

It depends a bit on how electrically noisy the installation is, but we've had good clean signals at more than 50m.

Will a Line Driver get rid of noise caused by a VFD/VSD?

It'll help, but you should always tackle electrical noise problems at their source. That means good grounding, filters in and out, and screened cable to the motor.
