Shunt/mV Isolation Amplifier DS 78

Isolation and Conversion of mV-Shunt Signals

The Isolation Amplifier DS 78 is used for isolation and conversion of bipolar and unipolar mV-Signals such as those frequently used for current measuring with shuntresistors or other applications with low sensor voltages.

  • Cost optimized design
    Economical separation for standard applications
  • Only 60 mm installation depth, 11.2 mm wide
    Can be installed in economical standard terminal boxes
  • Fixed ranges, easy to use
    Ready to use without any settings or adjustments
  • Zero/Span compensation on front panel
    for readjustment of sensor signal or measuring equipment
  • True 3-port separation
    Protection against erroneous measurements due to parasitic voltages or ground loops
  • Protective Separation acc. to EN 61140
    Protects service personnel and downstream devices against impermissibly high voltage
  • Unlimited use with 24 V AC/DC power supply
    Universally applicable for all measurement and industrial applications
  • 5 Years Warranty
    Defects occurring within 5 years from delivery date shall be remedied free of charge at our plant (carriage and insurance paid by sender).

For applications where one signal combination only is used, the Isolation Amplifier DS 78 offers a cost-effective alternative.

A cross-connector for the auxiliary power supply ensures fast and easy installation. The slim housing with 11.2 mm width saves significant space on the DIN-rail. If required a measuring range compensation can be performed at the Zero/Scan potentiometers behind the front cover.

Analog signal processing guarantees precise measured values with short response times and outstanding signal reproduction at the output. Protective Separation and the 24 V AC/DC power supply make the DS 78 universally applicable for all measurement and industrial applications, as well as for building automation.
