New current transducers for power monitoring
Monitoring or controlling motors, heaters, or other power consuming electrical devices has never been easier, with the new Red Lion non-contact current transducers providing related 4-20mA signals
With a programmable input range and excitation voltage, the CSSG can be used with virtually any pressure sensor or load cell with a strain gauge output.
This allows accurate measurement of these low-level signals without the requirement of an expensive conditioning device.
The module is also available with a secondary input, which allows the unit to perform mathematical comparisons of the two.
This makes the CSSG suitable for screen-changer signalling on extruders.
When combined with dual PID temperature control modules, the Modular Controller becomes an ideal solution for extruder control applications.
