Models 2004-LA1 and 2004-LP1 are high-resolution, high-accuracy 4 3/4 digit panel meters for use with pressure transducers, load cells and other bridge transducers which require excitation and preamplification of microvolt signals.

Model 2004-LA1 provides an extra 2 Hz two-pole active filter for exceptional normal mode noise rejection (NMR) of 110 dB.

Model 2004-LP1 provides an analog peak-hold circuit with external reset. It is ideal for destructive testing applications.

EXCITATION SUPPLY AND PREAMPLIFIER
The 2004-LA1 and 2004-LP1 provide a constant-voltage excitation supply which can be field-configured for 5, 10 or 15 Vdc output. They also provide a high-impedance, true-differential preamplifier, which is continuously adjustable from 20 to 100 in 3% steps to accommodate load-cell sensitivities of 1 mV/V to 20 mV/V. Fine-gain and fine-deadload adjustments are easily accessible behind the lens. A push-to-cal switch is provided through the lens. The calibration shunt resistor is customer-supplied.


BRIDGE CONNECTION
Bridges can be connected by 4 or 6 wires. In 6-wire connection, two lines sense the voltage applied to the bridge and compensate for lead resistance.

RESOLUTION AND ACCURACY
Resolution is one part in 39,999 counts, or 0.0025% of full scale. Accuracy is up to 99.985%. of reading. The measure-ment is ratiometric to reduce errors due to temperature and power-line variations. The same internal reference controls the meter gain and the excitation level.

SIGNAL OUTPUTS
Standard outputs include non-isolated parallel BCD and a strip-chart recorder output of 1 mV/count (nominal).

OPTIONS
Options include board-edge connectors and a splash-proof lens cover which meets NEMA-4 requirements. For additional information, please refer to the Options and Mechanical sections.
