AVW216

-NOTE-

Electrical specifications are valid over a -25° to +50°C range unless otherwise specified. Non-condensing environment required.

Operating Temperature Range

-25° to +50°C

Internal Radio Frequency Range

2.450 to 2.482 GHz

Radio Power

50 mW

Number of Vibrating Wire Sensors Measured

Up to 2 vibrating wire sensors can be connected to the analyzer module.

Additional sensors can be measured by using an AM16/32-series multiplexer.

Power Requirements

9.6 to 16 Vdc

Analog Input/Outputs

2 differential (DF) vibrating wire measurements (V+ and V-) and 2 single-ended (SE) ratiometric resistive half-bridge measurements (T+ and T-) for vibrating wire sensor's onboard temperature sensor.

Digital Control Ports

3 digital control ports (C1 – C3)

C1 functions as an SDI-12 I/O communication port.C2 functions as a Clk output for multiplexer control.C3 functions as a Reset output for multiplexer control.

RS-232 Port

1 9-pin RS-232 port

(for connecting to a data logger COM port)

Measurement Resolution

0.001 Hz RMS

(±250 mV differential input range; -55° to +85°C)

Input Voltage Range

±250 mV

(differential) for vibrating wire inputs

Common Mode Range

±25 V

Baud Rates

Selectable from 1200 to 38.4 kbps

(ASCII protocol is one start bit, one stop bit, eight data bits, and no parity.)
